NYC Bars we’ve visited recently
We’ve had the pleasure of crawling to numerous bars and pubs of late. Among others, we visited Owl Farm, a solid craft-beer spot in Park Slope, Brooklyn. We also sampled libations at The Ship and Dear Irving, two downtown Manhattan cocktail spots. We’ll have reviews of these spots and others in the coming days and weeks.
A visit to Rockaway Brewing Company in Queens, part 2
Two more photos from our recent visit to Rockaway Brewing Company. We look forward to a return visit on our next pub crawl through the area.
A visit to Rockaway Brewing Company in Queens, part 1
Located at 46-01 5th Street in Long Island City, Queens, Rockaway Brewing Company is, by definition, a nano-brewery (meaning it brews just under 400 kegs per year) that recently opened operations in LIC. Open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday only (for now, anyway), the tasting room is very small and is standing room only. The brewery is in the process of an expansion and it expects to have a slightly larger tasting room (with seats!) toward the end of the summer. Visitors can purchase a four-beer sampler for on-site consumption or beers-to-go in sizes of 16-, 32- or 64-ounces. During our visit, the brewery had six beers available for tasting. If you appreciate beer brewed in small batches, then you must visit Rockaway Brewing Company!
Happy Independence Day!
Pub Crawl NYC wishes you a safe and Happy Independence Day! Our NYC bar of the day: Fraunces Tavern, located at 54 Pearl Street in Manhattan’s Financial District.
A review of Dirck the Norseman in Brooklyn
Located at 7 N. 15th St, Dirck the Norseman is a brewpub on the Greenpoint/Williamsburg border in Brooklyn. Numerous house beers available (see photo of beer menu below). The food leans toward German fare. We look forward to returning on our next NYC bar crawl through the area!
Happy Canada Day!
Pub Crawl NYC wishes you a safe and Happy Canada Day. Our NYC bar of the day: Ontario, located at 559 Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
A view looking south from Midtown Manhattan's Bar 54
A view looking south from Bar 54, located at 135 West 45th (the name “Bar 54” comes from the fact that it’s on the 54th floor of the building), which is, for now, the highest rooftop bar in NYC.
A review of Oliver's in Astoria, Queens
Located at 37-19 Broadway in Astoria, Queens, Oliver’s is a welcomed addition to any Astoria NYC beer bar crawl. Oliver’s offers 16 tap beers, representing a good mix of local and other U.S. regional craft beers. Another 30 beers available out of can/bottle. Oliver’s is spacious and we look forward to returning on our next pub crawl through the area!
A review of Woodbines in Long Island City, Queens
Located at 47-10 in Long Island City, Queens, Woodbines takes over the former Lounge 47 space. Woodbines is a bar/gastropub; Front half is bar, while the back half is dining area. While Lounge 47 had a backyard space for patrons, Woodbines’ entrance to the backyard had an “employees only” sign, so perhaps the backyard area was under renovation during our visit. Woodbines, a good addition to any Vernon Blvd NYC bar crawl, offers 12 beer taps. Food menu consists of mainly upscale pub food. Try the Woodbines burger!
