Topaz is conveniently located near the Montrose Ave L-train stop (and is right next to the bar Post No Bills). House cocktails and a few craft beers round out the main liquid attractions.

Located at 523 third Ave in Manhattan’s Murray Hill (in the old Third and Long location), Ted’s Corner Tavern is a solid craft beer bar in a part of town that can really use such a spot. Thirty taps of quality craft beers from around the U.S. are a draw, as are the specialty cocktails. Some window seating available for prime people watching at the intersection of 3^rd Avenue and 35th Street. Food menu primarily consists of small plates and pita sandwiches, with a lean toward Eastern Mediterranean cuisine. Teds opens at 5pm daily and is definitely worth a visit on your next NYC pub crawl through the nabe.

Carragher’s comes from the same owners as other Manhattan bars, such as The Cricketer’s Arms, The Irish American and The Mad Hatter. Carragher’s offers 20 mostly quality tap beers are available, along with another dozen or so bottled beers and a full bar. Add in the friendly staff and Carragher’s is an all-around solid spot.

Ten quality taps, mostly NY or other regional US craft brews are available. Bar is on the left, several high top tables opposite the bar make up the majority of the seating area. A few seats by the window for prime Columbus Ave people watching. Bob’s Your Uncle is an all around solid spot.

Located off the beaten path at 364 Grand Street, along the border between North Side and South Side in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg, Bill Baker’s is a solid craft beer bar to begin or end your Brooklyn NYC Grand Street bar crawl. The 16 tap beers are mainly from the tri-state area. Food is a mix of upscale bar and bistro fare. Sidewalk seating is available in warm weather, though the nearby BQE doesn’t make Bill Baker’s the best outdoor drinking spot in the area. The layout is half bar and half table seating. Bill Baker’s is an overall great spot.
