Located just a few blocks north of Herald Square, at 54 W. 39^th Street, Proper West is another upscale sports bar for Manhattan!  If the spot feels familiar, it’s because this place used to be EVR.  Gone is the DJ booth and the lounge-like seating in back and on the second level.  Seating in those areas are standard tables for two or booth-style seating. The bar area is similar to what it was at EVR (except for the larger TV screens over the bar). And, like EVR before it, Proper West attracts the after-work crowd.  A 12-tap system offers mostly quality beers.  Other standard beers available by bottle. Proper West is worth a visit if you work/live nearby.

Located at 494 Atlantic Avenue, just 1.5 blocks west of Barclays Center, Hollow Nickel offers eight quality craft beers and nine bottled beers.  For layout, the bar area in front half and a seating area at back half.  Hollow Nickel also has a spacious outdoor area out back (where smoking is allowed).  A large chalk board near entrance inform patrons of drink selection, food and specials.  We look forward to returning here.

Located at 679 Driggs Avenue (close to the intersection with Metropolitan Avenue), Sort Of Wine bar offers organic wines only.  It’s a spacious spot in a new building development along Driggs Ave.  Friendly staff and a not overwhelming, but solid wine selection.  We look fwd to returning here on our next North Side wine bar crawl.

Located at 234 Underhill Avenue in Brooklyn’s Park Slope, Bar Sepia is a neighborhood bar just around the corner from the Brooklyn Museum of Art.  Sitting on a residential stretch of Underhill, Bar Sepia has been around for over a decade, but we just visited it for the first time recently!  The spot offers three tap beers, 20 or so bottled beers and 15 wines-by-the-glass.  Food menu consists mainly of bar/small bites. Bar Sepia is a good spot to start or end your prospect heights bar crawl.

Located at 609 Fourth Avenue at the southwestern reaches of Park Slope, Supercollider is part cafe/part bar (okay, mostly bar).  Offering 16 quality, mostly US domestic draft beers, Supercollider is a great beer lovers spot on a rather drab stretch of Fourth Avenue. Front half of the space is the bar; back half has a few tables and two pinball machines. A few board games also available. Supercollider is a solid spot for any Park Slope craft beer bar crawl.

Located at 180 North 10^th Street, just off the beaten path (aka Bedford ave) on Williamburg’s North Side, Kilo Bravo is a cool cocktail and craft beer bar. They have a cocktail for each of the 50 states (see first photo below), as well as 12 quality tap beers and another 15 bottled/canned beers.  Limited food menu (grilled cheese and other sandwiches).  A long bar area takes up most of the space. There are a few tables in the back near the kitchen.  A nice addition to the Williamsburg NYC Craft-beer bar crawl!
