15 Best Brewpubs near New York

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

“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.“

“Stopped in for a beer our first night in NYC. Staff were really helpful and made great suggestions on craft beers to try. Small spot, may take a minute to get a seat/table but worth it. Recommend trying their flight as well as any of the crafts that they recommend 💕“

“Houston Hall was one of the bars I visited during my short stay in New York. It has a llarge beer hall with rustic, cavernous atmosphere, communal long tables, and a good selection of craft beers. The food and beer tasted great. It jas an excellent happy hour, and a lively vibe that's perfect for watching sports or socializing with groups...though the service can be a little bit slow so you have to go to the bar yourself“

“We stopped by for drinks with our two teenage boys after a day touring the local area. The list of draft beers was very impressive and what made it even better is that we didn’t even know until paying the bill that all drafts were just $5 on Saturdays! Made me wish I’d seen that earlier, as I could have happily stayed there for another hour or two!“

“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.“

“Okay so 4 of us went tonight. We weren’t crazy about all of us getting our food 20-30 mins apart. But it was because they just started a new ticket / menu system and it was like the 2nd day. With that being said the waiter and another waitress apologized and came over like 3 times. Were soooo friendly and sweet. Offered a free drink and just all in all were so kind. Matt his name was. Super nice guy. The ONLY disappointment was they have ZEROOO desserts. Not a cookie. Not a scoop of ice cream. Nothing. And I don’t kno about yous but after I eat I NEEEEED something sweet or like I can’t go on with my life lol. I’m Hoping they change that !!! I’ll definitely be back. The food was OUTRAGEOUS . I go out to eat a lot. Like ALOT. And the food is usualy decent or even good but the food was RIDICULOUS like I’ll be dreaming about the brisket n pastrami sandwich for days. The Mac n cheese was great. The coleslaw so good and the corn also fantastic. Fries even were good like I really loved It all!“

“Had a great time here! Was looking for a sports bar with oysters and luckily I found The Hull. Service was great and Ray really took care of us. 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for a chill, rustic vibe with great service and food.“

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

“Always a fantastic experience when we eat here. Most recently was there with a group of friends for weekend brunch. The food is high quality gastropub fare, the service is warm and attentive, and the ambience is great - retro games, good music. The drinks are all great, but my favorite thing to do is try whatever new beers they are brewing at the moment. Even kinds I don't usually love are delicious there, and very creative. This time we were in the game room area, but the roof is also fantastic - amazing views.“

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