Located at 931 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, No. 7 North is a cocktail bar close to the northern end of Greenpoint. No. 7 North offers house cocktails, wine and beer, along with a cool vibe. No. 7 North is open on weekday afternoons, which we find rare for this type of spot. We look forward to a return visit here on our next Greenpoint NYC bar crawl.
Located at 474 Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn’s Clinton Hill, Brooklyn Eats, despite the name, is a bar. The main bar area is in front followed by seating area and then a room all the way in the back with a ping pong table. Brooklyn Eats offers two tap beers and 18 bottled beers. Full bar also available. Food is mostly standard bar food, at affordable prices (particularly the lunch specials). Be sure to include Brooklyn Eats on your next NYC pub crawl along Myrtle Avenue!
Located at 413 East 12th Street in Manhattan’s East Village, Fifty Paces is wine bar offering 18 wines by bottle/glass, along with a small selection of beer (no hard alcohol). Same layout as Terroir (the wine bar that held this space previously). For food, Fifty Paces offers small plates and large plates; Cheese, charcuterie and several artisan chocolates also available. This is a great spot and we look forward to a return visit.
Located at 30-95 33rd Street in Astoria, Queens, Halsey’s Tavern is a solid stop for any Astoria NYC beer bar crawl. Halsey’s is connected with Brick Café next door (same owners). Halsey’s offers 20 quality tap beers and numerous more quality craft beers out of the bottle.
Located at 970 Flushing Avenue on the Williamsburg/Bushwick border, Forrest Point represents another sign of gentrification in this section of Brooklyn. Forrest Point is a bar/restaurant (though we think more bar than restaurant), located in what feels like a former garage space. Forrest Point offers 7 tap beers and several house cocktails. Food menu is intriguing, with brunch offered during weekends. Outdoor seating is available in good weather for prime people watching along Flushing Avenue.
Located at 237 West 35th Street in Manhattan’s Midtown West, Juniper is a spacious bar that specializes in gin and gin cocktails. Juniper offers ten tap beers (mix of standard and quality), including some local NYC draughts. The area is primarily taking up with long bar, along with a small dining area in back. This is a great spot for after-work drinks.
Located at 173 Morgan Avenue in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg, Arrogant Swine is a solid beer and Carolina BBQ spot. Arrogant Swine looks as though it’s in a former garage space. There’s a long bar area offering 20 quality tap beers, including a few local NYC beers. The BBQ kitchen is in the back. After ordering drinks at the bar, patrons can order food at the kitchen counter and return to sit in the bar area. Arrogant Swine’s staff brings your food to you. The only drawback to this spot is that it’s a 5-6 minute walk from the nearest L-train stop. However, we find Arrogant Swine well worth going out of your way for!
Located at 169 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan’s Chelsea, Cooper’s has opened a second location of the craft beer bar, originally of the East village. Twenty-four taps of solid craft beers available and the bar rotates the taps often. Can’t decide on a beer to order? Coopers offers five ounce samplers for sale as well. The space is divided into two: Main bar area in front half and then another seating area with a small bar up a few steps in the back half. We look forward to returning here. Cooper’s Chelsea is great spot for any Chelsea craft beer bar crawl.
Located at 1678 First Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this edition of Shorty’s is their fourth location in Manhattan. Taking over the former Bullpen spot, Shorty’s brings their sports bar / beer bar / Philly Cheesesteak formula uptown (the other three locations are all below 42nd Street). We’ve enjoyed the other three locations of Shorty’s and we are happy that this uptown spot opened fairly recently. A great spot for any NYC Upper East Side beer bar crawl. We look forward to another visit here.
Located at 333 Douglass on the Park slope / Gowanus border in Brooklyn, Threes Brewing is a brewpub / bar. When you visit Threes Brewing for the first time, remember the exact address or you may pass right by the place. Threes Brewing offers 5-6 of their own beers and other craft beer from the U.S. A limited full bar is also available. For food, Threes Brewing offers several weeks-long kitchen residences of nearby Brooklyn restaurants. Concerning the layout, the main bar area is located in the back half of the space and the brewing space is located behind the bar. We look forward to returning here.
