Recently, we had a chance to do some pub crawling around the Ridgewood section of Queens. We had the chance to visit some old neighborhood stand-by’s and some recently-opened spots. Later this week, we will have brief reviews of Gottscheer Hall, an old-school German beer hall and restaurant, and Onderdonk & Sons, a solid craft-beer bar. We look forward to a return visit to both spots on our next bar crawl through Ridgewood.
A review of Bourgeois Pig in Manhattan's Greenwich Village
Located at 127 Bleecker Street, Bourgeois Pig has a new location, moving from its East Village location on East 7th Street (coincidentally or not, this new Greenwich Village location is just a few steps from their former west village annex). Even though this location of Bourgeois Pig recently opened, the space feels as though it’s been here a while. Bourgeois Pig offers fifteen wines by bottle/glass. For food, small plates and fondue are available. Bourgeois Pig is a nice addition to any Greenwich Village wine bar crawl.

Heights Tavern offers 30 tap beers, a mix of quality and standard options. Numerous HDTV screens are available for your sports viewing pleasure. Food menu can be best described as upscale bar fare.

Not many places like this in Manhattan anymore
Located at 4241 Broadway in Manhattan’s Washington Heights, Reynolds Café is a bar from a bygone era. Reynolds turned 50 years old in early 2014. Based on our extensive NYC bar explorations, we can state that there aren’t many places like this remaining in Manhattan. Bottled beers cost $4 or $5. Reynolds Café is a good spot to visit when you’re in the neighborhood.

A review of Bernheim & Schwartz in Manhattan's Morningside Heights
Located at 2911 Broadway, Bernheim & Schwartz is a spacious restaurant and beer hall across the street from Columbia University. Eleven house beers brewed by Greenpoint Beerworks as well as wine and a full bar available. Design of the space is so effective, you’d think the spot has been here for a long time. Food menu is mostly bistro fare. Bernheim & Schwartz is a must-visit for any beer geek!
A review of Brownstone Bar & Grill in Downtown Brooklyn
Located at 277 Gold St (at Tillary) in the northern edge of Downtown Brooklyn, Brownstone Bar & Grill fills a certain void of bars in the immediate area. The bar half of the space greets patron upon entrance. Several high top tables and a square bar with seating on three sides takes up most of the bar area. The restaurant half is just beyond a short corridor beyond the bar area. For beers, Brownstone offers nearly 20, mostly quality tap beers, including a few from nearby Brooklyn breweries. In addition, 25 or so bottled beers. Food offerings are somewhat limited and include bar apps, sandwiches and entrees. Five HDTV screens are tuned to sporting events.
