49 Best Craft Breweries near Long Island City

“Great spot in the neighborhood to get a beer and entertainment. 5th really tries to give a visitor great value with live music and trivia nights. Their beer selection is nice and there is usually a food pop up when you get hungry. Dogs are a common visitor so if you don’t like them or are allergic you may want to make sure you find a seat away from our fury pals. It’s one of my favorite places in the area to hang out and witness some pretty good jazz and meet up with friends. LIC is a bit more modern and might be low on the history and charm of many neighborhoods in the city but 5th does a really great job of starting the area’s own vibe and identity.“

“It has a variety of alcohol levels, so it's good to go with RTS friends.
Non-alcoholic beer is also available. Other than the small bar next to the company, there isn't much to see.
And there is a cute cat. A friendly clerk will help you get your food. very cute“

“I've come here sporadically in the past but after joining a local climbing gym last year, I come here almost weekly.

I've had the pleasure of getting to know some of the folks by name. And every one of them is kind and welcoming.

I'm also a fan of the beers! I have multiple favorites. There's always something new to try and everyone behind the bar is very knowledgable.

Also Billy Bob has a dope playlist he plays from time to time. All hiphop. East coast, west coast, NOLA, Texas, so much love for all regions.
A beautiful thing.“

“Yer basic taproom, a bunch of their own great beers on draught and can, mix of lager, IPA and silly stout. Bar staff that know the beers.

The afternoon I visited there was a DJ on playing some light rock, a nice amount of background ambience without getting in the way of having a conversation.“

“Absolute necessary stop if in the neighborhood of worth a drive/ride if outside 👍“

“So i visited this brewery on centre st in Brooklyn... yep, they know how to make beer! They definitely have hazy ipa's dialed in. They offer other beer styles and all are exceptional. Unfortunately I have only one picture because I was enjoying the beer too much!“

“I had a great time at Circa the staff was very attentive food was excellent. Thank you for great service.“

“Phenomenal IPA’s, sours, and seltzers! This was my second time here and their menu just keeps expanding more and more. I felt like they had more options in person than what was listed online. Phenomenal vibe, good people, and good beer. I will return and recommend it!“

“This is one of our favorite places to visit! The beers they have are so delicious and appetizing. They play incredibly good music and the empanadas are beyond delicious! I recommend getting all of the empanadas they have and trying as many beers as possible. You can spend multiple hours there just enjoying the music and beer.“

“Delicious gluten-free IPA! You guys have raised the bar for the gluten free beer peeps!! 🍺🍺“

“Pumpkin painting was a blast!“

“Great beer selection & ambiance.“

“Always a hospitable and attentive staff. A wonderful and stylish space. And of course - delicious beers brewed on the impressive site. Always something going on there and a great addition to the Staten Island scene.“

“Bke is even more than the best Kombucha ever. It’s a lifestyle and a beautiful community ❤️ I highly recommend!!“

“Have been wanting to try NJ Beer Co. for awhile after trying one of their beers on tap. Finally made it! The Blood Orange NEIPA was on point and delicious on this hot day. The Sour Gummi Worms was everything you’d want in a sour with just the right amount of pucker!! It’s a small tap room and ambiance is not why you visit! Service was fantastic and friendly. Worth a visit for the above average beers!!“

“Oh man I don’t know where to start. Such an amazing community spot. What Shinobu and Ayako built here is truly amazing. From the amazing and well curated events (music, food, book clubs) to the incredible sake and cocktail program, I’m just constantly being blown away. I know Olive Garden already took it, but I really feel like KSW better embodies the motto “when you’re here, your family.” Met some of my best friends here :)“

“Cozy bar with a friendly staff and great beers! I had a great time performing here.“

“Excellent beer - friendly staff! Great atmosphere!!“

“the dumplings were amazing“

“Nice mood, pretty. Hazy Ipas very good.“

“Great beer, great vibe. Can't wait to make it back there again!“

“friendly bar staff and a very relaxing atmosphere“

“Amazing craft sake in a nice space with outdoor and indoor seating.“

““Beer has dispelled the illness which was in me”. What a great quote to put on the side of a brewery.

Great selection of beer, everything from a 13% stout to a light lager. Prices were standard bar, nothing wild. No happy hours. Not too busy on a Saturday early evening.“

“Cool high ceilinged space with brewing taking place right in the middle of the floor. Great selection of beers, small food menu, but everything I had was superb. Service was attentive and friendly. I’ve been road tripping and visiting a LOT of breweries but their Almost Famous NEIPA is the best beer I’ve had this trip.“

“Great range of their own beers from easy drinking L/P (necessary thirst quencher after a long walk from KCBC) and some more serious German style. A bunch of sours and ciders, and of course IPAs on draught.

Their only stouts were can and bottle when we visited at the start of Sep, that may be different in winter?

A few non alcoholic beer options and wine too.

Decent food choice as well. From interesting bar snacks, I had the sweet and spicy nuts. And Apizza (New Haven style thin and crispy) with a varied choice of toppings.“

“Only stumbled across this because I wanted to have a drink with a friend who was sailing on the Queen Mary 2 the next day.

There's nothing fancy about it, but, as a brewery, they actually have a good craft beer list and the bartender was happy to tell you about the offerings. The Storyteller Imperial Stout was excellent, and I'm admittedly hard to please.

Even better than the beer is the view from the tables outdoors, which features the Statue of Liberty. Worth a visit by itself.“

“I stopped by Endless Brewing Company in search of their Kölsch style beer “Construed to waste your time”. The Kölsch was everything it should be crisp with a light yellow hue and served at a perfectly chilled temperature to bring out its best flavor. Best I’ve have had outside of Cologne Germany. Endless Life Brewing in located in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and has been set up with its neighborhood in mind. The perfect place to come and sit with friends for a chat or play couple games. Their back patio is softly lit and has picnic tables perfect for night of catching up and maybe grabbing a small bite. I had their homemade mac and cheese and I swear they had my grandmother in back making it.“

“Great brewery tap room. All their beers ready to drink. If I have one criticism is that they don’t have options for the ladies if they don’t drink beer.“

“good service and good selection. many different drinks(not just beer), didn't try the food though.“

“Great addition to the North shore. Place is upscale with nice atmosphere. . Nice Beer selection. IPA was very good. I had the Branzino and it was delicious, but It would of been nice if there was some bread on the table. Overall good experience and I will be returning.“

“This is the original location of one of my favorite hazy breweries. We have tried them in dc and philly but this one is the best for beer in my opinion.

They have a tone of great unique hazies that are different rough to stand out amongst each other.

The first time we ever went here it wasn't too busy but over the last few years it has gotten packed. Its a big place but it fills up just as quickly.

A new part they added was the slider option which even has a good vegan option.

Overall some great hazy beers if that's what your into.“

“We live upstairs and are super relieved the food has gotten so much better. We heard there was a change in chef. It's a great place to come in the afternoon or evening and very kid-friendly. Their burger with the sesame bun is quite phenomenal.“

“I noticr this loc. looking for a place to pee. Had a beer! The place was very welcoming and relxing. LGBT+ friendly. Bathroom xcleaned, decor beautiful price afforable, they even have free condoms!!!!
Worth to come by again from the Bronx.“

“One of the country’s best breweries right in Astoria AND next to a grocery store (grocery shopping always better after a couple drinks). The brewery has cozy indoor space, ample outdoor space, and the folks running the bar are kind and knowledgeable — nothing is pretentious. If you’re an aviation geek, sit outside, as it’s a prime spot for watching narrowbody departures from LGA.“

“My wife and I hosted a 100 person outdoor wedding here and couldn't have had a better experience. Their event coordinator Angie was extremely transparent from the start and made planning the party a breeze throughout every step. We did the open bar package with Three's Brewing paired with the food package from Spectro (two shipping containers next to one another with a wooden deck/patio in the front), all of which were delicious and very affordable. The staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient, and I would highly recommend this location for anyone who is looking to throw a unique, fun, beautiful NYC wedding on Governor's Island!“

“Nice brewery with very tasty beers. We came across the beers in Brooklyn and decided to pay a visit to discover the rest of the menu, highly recommended. The IPAs are very tasty. On Untappd you can see the most recent menu they have on tap. You can also take beers home with you.“

“Very good belgian style beers. Can't go wrong with anything on the draft list“

“We went to the tasting room/brewery and had the most amazing time. This was an jaw dropping introduction to Korean traditional sool and I am super excited to tell my friends, co workers, and my family. The flavors of each brew is so beautiful, and the amazing food that came with it made my tongue super happy!! willl be going back again and again, and going to order bottles for my friends!!! thank you Alice for opening my eyes to the wonderful world of korean soooool!!“

“Good bar, good beers and good people 👍🏼“

“We had our wedding celebration at Talea, and it was nothing short of incredible. The space was beautifully designed, thoughtfully laid out, and full of energy. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible team.

They were beyond accommodating, genuinely kind, and full of creative ideas that helped bring our vision to life. Every single person went above and beyond to ensure the night flowed perfectly. Their attention to detail, flexibility, and warmth made us feel so supported throughout the entire process.

Thanks to them, we had the most fun, joyful, and memorable night of our lives. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the party was and so much of that is because of Talea and the magic they helped create. We couldn’t recommend them more highly. Special Shoutout to Manny & Nikki for going above and beyond.“

I tried the I'm Not Even A Pumpkin Guy - I am a die hard Shipyard girl, THIS BEER was one of the best Pumpkin beers I had since Shipyard.“
