You must put a sign somewhere to let customers know it's a two drink minimum on cards. One bartender was enforcing this while the other wasn't. Confusing
Very aggressive bartender. We stayed for 4 beers, paid after each drink. We joined a PUBLIC open jam on Spotify and then after 3 hours the bartender exploded and was so aggressive and rude against us. Bar owner, the bartender was very a cap and an old t-shirt(2008). We tried to explain to him we was sorry and still he continued to harass us and had zero understanding that we did not do anything to offend him or be impolite, however he called us many bad and impolite things and then we left. I hope you will talk to him and explain him we are paying his salary and please be polite to customers - and then just be polite and ask if we cannot join the jam on Spotify….

Our favorite bar in NYC. Informal, cozy, great beer and wine. Plus an open fireplace 👌

I stopped by the Blind Tiger on a Thursday earlier in December and had a great time. I only had drinks, so I can’t comment on the food, but the bar itself was buzzing. It was absolutely packed and standing room only, and the bar was easily two to three people deep. Despite that, the bartenders were on point and had me a beer in under five minutes, which honestly exceeded my expectations.
The hardest part was choosing what to drink because their beer list is massive. I started with a Tilted Barn Kölsch and followed it up with a Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold. I originally planned on just one beer, but there is a two beer minimum when using a credit card, and I had no complaints. I enjoyed some good music and caught the Knicks game on TV while enjoying the music.
Next time I am in this part of NYC, I will definitely be back to explore more of their impressive beer menu, hopefully with a little more elbow room!

Good beer selection
Don’t come here, bartenders are excessively rude. They treat you as if they were doing you a favor for pouring a beer.

Great selection of beer and a very cool place to have one. Outdoor seating is available. Bartenders are knowledgeable and can help you pick what you're looking for.

My favorite bar in NYC, hands down. I came here for the first time a few years ago when I was getting big into craft beer, and had heard that one the best tap lists in the world was here. It has never disappointed, and I’ve been back about 15 times.
The variety and selection is always incredible. Maine Beer Company, Grimm, The Alchemist, Other Half, Hudson Valley, you name it. And tons of more niche microbreweries, local and otherwise.
The bartenders are always super nice. I’m a Mets fan and they put on the games sometimes. There’s a family tree of beers on the wall that I could stare at for an hour. And they give you a plaque on the wall if you ask a bartender to join the connoisseur club and drink 50 beers over time. Still on my way in that regard!
Be aware it can get extremely crowded at peak hours. Usually it’s not too bad for happy hour or later at night, and any non-weekend day is pretty spacious, but 10pm on a Friday can be pretty slammed. Regardless, if you find yourself in the neighborhood and have the time, stop by and try a couple new beers!
The female bartender was unbelievably rude. After trying to order with her and being met with hostility, we immediately left

Nice chilled vibe for a Monday night. Cool dive bar vibes and loads of beer options.
