Only sign I saw was that cans had to be opened at the bar. No sign on cooler or dual price tag on beer. No warning from bartender about additional fee before he opened the can. Won't be back.

Everything is always spotless, and their drinks are always made textbook perfect. The beer is cold, served in chilled glasses, and they always surprise me with their circulation of beers. Super friendly bar staff, and they really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. You just know when the employees are satisfied with their jobs because they don't walk around all grumpy. Here, they're chill and laid back, super fast at what they do, and they are attentive. Most of the time, I don't even have to ask for a second drink--they just know when I want another one. And they have this fancy air-fryer type machine in the back that makes the best quick bar snacks. Just order something, it's good!

The bartender is friendly and offers tastings, a unique feature compared to most other bars in Manhattan. I really like their selection of sour beers in particular. The vibe is like a sports bar, but you can find spots to have a decent conversation without a ton of rowdiness that comes with watching sports games. There are small bites for appetizers, including veggie nuggets, tater tots, and french fries. The dishes are well priced between $6-7 dollars and provide a nice snack to supplement the drinking.

You have to go down a set of stairs to get to the entry door, then you have to go down more steps to get in. Not convenient for anyone who is handicapped. I ordered a Belgium beer which was delicious and a BLT and onion rings, both disappointing - lots of luttuce and lacking in anything else it should have had. The onion rings were over-cooked and not great. The seating area inside is also a bit strange. There are 2 bar areas with seating and an upstairs seating area with window sidewalk views. It was the middle of the afternoon when I was there, and the bartender kept going between the 2 bars. I didn't find the situation to be comfortable nor did I enjoy the food; so don't plan to return.

The crispiness on the fish was delish, and the amount of fish was good too, enough for us to split. My only gripe was that there could've been more fries - but who doesn't always want more fries? Seems like a great place to catch a game with friends!

I don't know if it's due to warmer weather and humidity the insects came in when the door was open or being next to the bathroom.
