Pony Bar

Upper East Side


The best craft-beer destination in Upper Manhattan, Pony Bar pours exclusively American craft (including cask-conditioned ales) with a near total devotion to New York State breweries. You'll find 20 rotating taps and a whole lot of rustic hardwoods (the bar, the seating, the barrels, the canoe...). If you're in pursuit of a locally devout hoptopia in UES, look no further.
