Toby’s Public House, located at Kenmare and Mulberry Streets in Manhattan. Pub Crawl NYC has visited their original location, located at the southern fringes of Brooklyn’s Park Slope. Part pizzeria, part bar, the Brooklyn location offered some good food and a small, but solid craft-beer selection. If the Manhattan location is anything like it, then Toby’s Public House is a spot you’ll want to visit sooner rather than later.

We’ve recently read that Pony Bar is about to open a new location on the Upper East Side on First Avenue. If the new location is anything like the original (20+ taps, frequent rotation, affordable 14-oz. pours), that would be fantastic. The Upper East Side is a bit thin when it comes to having a craft-beer focused NYC bar crawl. So, the addition of a new Pony Bar would go a long way to filling that void.

On a recent walk by the southeastern corner of Allen & Delancey Streets on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, it was noticed that some work was being done inside the establishment formerly known as White Slab Palace (we wrote about White Slab Palace’s closing in a post mentioning the paring down of the LES craft-beer focused NYC bar crawl). The doors and windows were open and two people were working on the bar area. The physical bar was still in the same place as before. Do you know what is going into this spot? Pub Crawl Brooklyn would like to know! Share your comment here.

Lakeside Lounge, located on Avenue B in Alphabet City, is closing for business on April 30. Here is a recent New York Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/23/nyregion/gritty-musical-mainstay-will-close-in-the-east-village.html
A great spot, Lakeside Lounge’s closure is just another example of the impact of the demographic changes happening in the East Village/Alphabet City and a good chunk of Manhattan as a whole. If you can, try and visit Lakeside Lounge one last time.
At the western edge of one of Midtown Manhattan’s many beaten paths, Little Town NYC is a spacious version of their original location in Union Square. If you like their New York State theme, then you must visit the new location on Restaurant Row. Located in the former Village Pourhouse spot (and before that it was a Joshua Tree, I sure hope this Little Town West location makes it at this address), the layout is similar to its previous incarnations (large bar area on the left with some high top tables opposite the bar, some additional seating in the back as well as an upstairs level). The food aims to be locally sourced (great oysters, I’m told) and the beer selection is simply magnificent. Beers available from Jamestown on the western edge of the state all the way to Greenport at the eastern end of Long Island, and just about everything in between. Over 20 beers available on tap as well as many more bottled beers. This place is great for those with a lot of New York State pride.
