13 Best Brewpubs near New York

“Great tap/can/cellar list. Food is solid and staff is great.“

“Nice place.

Forever ever nice to start. No controversy here. Refreshing. Can really feel yeast is well alive unlike sterilized canned beer.

Also had higher alcohol content alike Double Nectaron Daydream with 8.5%. Felt the buzz. Deceptively tasty. Chic drink? Nope unisex well-liked for most tastebuds.

Also had dark one. Not universally liked. Texture syruppy. I liked it. Quite different but others mixed reviews. No wander bartender offered tasting before ordering for 4.

The place does have TV, so possibly watching MLB playoff. But more of midtown place to hang out after work.
Got really crowded. Tough to get table, seat or even standing room.“

“Small but great and unusual selection of beers. 12 taps of beers you won't find in many places. Plenty of cans if the taps don't excite you. A good wine selection if someone in your party doesn't want beer. It can get very crowded very quickly, as it is a small space. Lots of sports on the many TVs. Nice staff!“

“It's crazy to say, but it's difficult to find great breweries with an awesome Taproom experience anymore and even harder in the city. This has become my go to spot because of their consistency (food and service) and hospitality, not to mention the amazing beer (and spirits - they make their own)!! They've started doing beer dinners and food pairings for their specialty releases and the ones I've been there for have been exceptional. The chef and brewer do a great job pairing the food and beer. I grew up when beer dinners were a big deal so it's cool to see a local brewery bringing them back!!!“

“I came here after dinner for a few beers. It was early on a Friday night but the place was already packed. I couldn't find a spot at the bar to sit or any of the tables so I just stood off out of people's way. I saw someone who sort of looked like Kyle Mooney but I'm pretty sure it wasn't him. They have lawn games to play inside. As it's an old warehouse, there's enough space. Overall a place with good vibes.“

“The service here is really the standout. Every single bartender is friendly, and there are always more than enough staff to help. It really shines through! They do samples, and small pours which is great.
As a beer snob, I really wish they had some better options though. With 12+ taps i find that only 4-5 are really something special with the rest being average at best. If they can up the options just a little it would be a 5 star bar.“

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

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

“The Randolph from start to finish was an exceptional experience for my friends birthday! They thoroughly checked in, helped us surprise her with a cake and just went above and beyond!! Highly recommend. P.S. Lisa the general manager is amazing and so helpful!!“
