Mekelburg's

New York City


Come for the craft beer, custom sandwiches and tasty bites, leave with an armful of artisan groceries. You could easily walk past this watering hole, which, once you get past the gourmet grocery upfront, reveals an expansive bar with myriad craft brews on tap. Added perks: a courtyard for the warmer months and opening hours that stretch well past midnight.
