Upper East Side


In the shadow of the Queensboro Bridge right under the Roosevelt Island Tramway, this unpretentious craft-beer and cocktail bar packs in gaggles of post-work pursuers of hops but with hardly a hipster beard in sight (the Bearded Alchemist notwithstanding!). The custom-built draft system spits suds from 29 rotating taps – which are best enjoyed in the wonderful beer garden.

Well-known American breweries – Cigar City (Florida), Allagash (Maine), Firestone (California), for example – feature prominently.
