We view Rock & Reilly and Sean’s Bar & Kitchen, both located in Midtown, as a tie for the best new bar openings of 2016 for Manhattan.  We visited both on a NYC pub crawl in late May 2016 and enjoyed our visits to both spots immensely.  Both spots possess a friendly and helpful staff along with a quality craft-beer selection. We look forward to returning to both spots on future NYC bar crawls in 2017 and beyond!
