A review of Belgian Beer Cafe in Manhattan's Flatiron District
Located at 220 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, the Belgian Beer Café is a 100% Belgian beer spot and a must-visit for any Belgian beer NYC pub crawl. Belgian Beer Café is large and spacious with views of Madison Park’s NW corner. Belgian Beer Café offers 24 or so Belgian beers, along with wine and a full bar. Growlers are available for takeaway. The food menu, still partially in its soft stage at the time of this post, offers several mussel dishes, stews and bistro fare. We look forward to a return visit here on our next bar crawl through this part of town.
Seen on a recent NYC pub crawl
Outside of Sugarburg, located at 519 Metropolitan Avenue, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn:
Brooklyn spots we've visited recently
In Williamsburg, we had the pleasure of visiting Rocka Rolla and Sugarburg. The former is a spot from the folks behind Williamsburg’s Skinny Dennis, while the latter is a solid new addition to any a Metropolitan Ave NYC craft-beer bar crawl. We’ll have brief reviews on these spots in the coming days.
A review of Cedar Local in Manhattan's Financial District
Located at 25 Cedar Street in Manhattan’s Financial District, Cedar Local is slightly off the beaten path and a new cocktail destination. The space is mostly the bar and a few tables in front and a few tables in back. Cocktails are the focus here (see photo of menu below). Also some beer/wine available. Throw in the friendly staff and Cedar Local is a good spot to visit the next time you’re pub crawling in the area.
A review of Copper & Oak on Manhattan's Lower East Side
Located at 157 Allen Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Copper & Oak, is a serious whiskey and cognac bar. No mixed drinks here, just straight up liquor, hundreds of types (also, three beers and two wines). Very small space. Menu is read off of a kindle. If you’re a fan of amber-colored liquid, you need to include Copper & Oak on your next LES NYC bar crawl sooner rather than later!
If you're looking for a NYC pub crawl this weekend
Here’s one option for a bar crawl in NYC: On Saturday, September 27, 2014, Lindy Promotions is holding its annual Greenwich Village Fall Pub Crawl, starting at 1pm. More details here.
NYC bars we've visited recently
Recently, we’ve had the opportunity to visit Lower East Side’s 151 and Copper & Oak and the Financial District’s Cedar Local. 151 feels similar to the other incarnations in this space (Rivington 151, etc.). It’s a cocktail bar from the same folks as East Village’s Death & Co (photo of 151 below). Copper & Oak and Cedar Local are both interesting spots and we’ll have our take on those NYC bars in the coming days.
The Rookery in Bushwick, Brooklyn
Rounding out our recent NYC pub crawl through Bushwick was The Rookery, located at 425 Troutman Street, just steps from the Jefferson St. L-train stop. The Rookery offers a large outdoor seating area for the summer months and a sizeable indoor area year-round. The Rookery offers eight tap beers and 20 bottled beers.
