Neat little beer bar on the UWS with a nice draft list and a selection of cans to go. Friendly bartenders.
Super chill atmosphere, great selection of local beers and very friendly and helpful staff to find the best beer from the tap list.
Best beer selection. Amazing service. Incredible burgers. This place is top tier in all of NYC. Go if you can…then go again.

The Hoptimist is a cozy little bar that offers a wide selection of rare brews on tap and in bottles. The place has a warm, neighborhood atmosphere with about 10 tables inside and a few outside. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, creating a welcoming environment. The prices are good, and the bar is dog-friendly, allowing customers to bring their pets. Guests can enjoy a special happy hour with deals like the burger and a pint for 15 bucks, making it one of the best deals in the area. The bar features a rotating selection of beers from New York State, with a variety of styles. The food is solid and served quickly from the kitchen next door. Overall, The Hoptimist feels like an extension of many locals' homes, where everyone is greeted warmly and can enjoy great beers and good company.
