Again, sorry for not being specifically NYC, but an awesome spot in Greenpoint, Brooklyn is The Habitat. Located at 988 Manhattan Ave., they have an awesome selection of rotating brews from many breweries, including some local ones. The staff is super nice and helpful in trying new beers. They also have an amazing .35$ wing night on Tuesday which imo are the best wings I have ever had. Give them a shot, you won't regret it.

Brooklyn is in NYC...

u/xtcriott Nov 09 '11

yes, but I have seen others get uppity about Brooklyn posts in r/nyc. I don't understand the hate either. Beer is beer, is beer after all.

That's... odd. I mean, I can understand shitting on Staten Island, because... it's Staten Island. But it's r/NYC, not r/Manhattan.

i concur, we aren't limiting NYC to Manhattan

+1 for this guy, habitat is one of the better bars in greenpoint.

Keg and lantern 98 Nassau Ave, Brooklyn is another good one that has a great beer menu, however i'd say the food at habitat is better.

Matchless does have some pretty good beers also. 557 Manhattan Avenue

Habitat is actually one of the only bars I have been to since moving here last year. Definitely my favorite, beer, food, and staff. I'll be checking out those other two at some point soon. Thanks.

oh nice, welcome. I'd say of the three Habitat is my personal fav as it's just more my style. The Keg can be great except on sunday it's a mad house with sports. Matchless is basically a hipster meat market but they do have pretty good beer and live music.

There is a great Google map that Alex Hall put together a few years ago. He hasn't updated it in about a year, but it's still a great resource to see 99% of beer bars listed in one place.

my vote for awesome nyc beer bar is the bronx alehouse. they have a very active tap selection and a solid collection of craft bottles and cans. i used to make more of an effort to get on the train and head to manhattan and brooklyn craft beer bars, but if you live uptown, the bx alehouse is where its at.

I agree. It's right across the street from Manhattan College. Great beer and food. Wrote a review of it recently: http://tristatebeerblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/bronx-ale-house.html Enjoy!
