Overall: This is my favorite tap room in the city! There's always room, staff and patrons are always friendly, and the beer is always good. Worth stopping by if you're in the West Village! Food: 4 Drinks: 5 Service: 4 Value: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Food: Surprisingly good. We shared the chicken quesadilla. It was filled to the filled to the brim and delicious. They cooked it perfectly with the edges getting extra crispy like a tortilla chip. I didn't have high expectations for a place thats primarily a bar, but this blew me away all things considered. Drinks: Best taproom in the city. 20+ premium options. They have an awesome selection of beers, including some local options. They have wine and liquor too, but you should focus on the beer. This is the place to go for a good draught. Service: Servers are friendly and down to earth. They're great at suggesting different beers. Value: Not cheap, but not bad. Beers are $8-10 (pretty much market price in the West Village) and food is a decent bargain given how much food you get. Atmosphere: Its a cross between an old school pub and a sports bar. Its dark and 90% male (my wife always comments on how male heavy it is) but I think it has a good vibe. Good beer, good food options, and friendly servers. read more

This place is a historical gem! I have been going here for over 20 years and every time I go in, no matter what the crowd is or who the new bartenders are, I feel like I never left! The crowd is pretty young, but as a mid-40s, I don't feel out of place. The bartenders are knowledgable and always helpful in making decisions. Why they didn't get 5-stars: This is actually a 4.5-star place and only gets dinged 1/2 star is that is can be hard to get a table or a spot to be. It's a very small venue, so be prepared to stand around a bit. That's it, great beers, good vibes, still a great spot!!! read more

Met a friend here in the afternoon for food and drinks and walked away liking the spot. It's got that European pub feel, dark wood, cozy corners, the kind of place built for lingering over a beer. And the beer selection backs it up. Genuinely good variety if that's what you're after. We split a cheesesteak, which was solid, though I'll admit I'm probably a little ruined at this point by bodega chopped cheese and real Philly cheesesteaks, so my bar is unfairly high. Didn't stay too long since we had somewhere to be, but it was busy when we came through, always a good sign. Great location, worth a return trip when I've got more time to actually sit with a pint. read more

Very fun and popular spot on Saturday. I really liked the nachos. The Negroni was unfortunately a sbagliato which was ok but I prefer a normal Negroni. Service was super nice though considering how crowded it was. read more

Visited 2/22. A group of us stumbled across this place while visiting NYC and didn't know what to expect. Everything was really solid though. Fun aesthetics, a variety of beer options, and some really decent food. My friend and I split the sandwich special and Mac and cheese and loved it all. The two other members of our party enjoyed what they got also. Ordering is at the bar but our orders were taken promptly and we got our food in decent time also read more

I always love Blind Tiger ! Being British, it reminds me of an old Brit pub! Old fashioned, quaint with low beams and a fireplace ! On this March day it was rather warm for New York so all the windows were open - we sat by one of them with a lovely view of Bleecker! Enjoyed some exceptional IPAs as they always have some amazing beers! We had the mixed buts, kale salad, grilled cheese and truffled veggies - all of which were absolutely delicious! The truffled veggies in particular were an unexpected suprise! The service was fantastic and friendly to the point we felt like we were regulars which is how a good pub should feel! Love this place and will return any time I am in NYC! read more

Came here to watch the end of a sports game and they had a good amount of TVs to watch. They have a wide selection of craft beers for a good price. We had the nachos here, which were kind of small, but had great flavor and amazing chips. We also had a pretzel, which was EXTREMELY small. Perhaps that is the theme of the food at this bar. Overall, great for the beers, but perhaps eat somewhere else for the food. read more

Hands down the best grilled cheese in the city! While Blind Tiger may not be the go-to for bar fare, but I've never been there for a drink and still am a repeat customer! From how the delivery arrives I would say the service is great ( for a remote customer) and I am sure the other reviews can speak to the ambience. Keep grilling! read more

Blind Tiger is a classic beer bar to visit in the village. We stopped by in the afternoon on a winter Saturday. It was a quiet day in the city because of the weather, but Blind Tiger was a great place to spend the afternoon. Blind Tiger is one of the only spots in the city I've visited with a lit fireplace and it made the ambiance so cozy. I ordered a dry cider on tap, had a seat by the window and enjoyed the snow falling with the fireplace in the background - a very relaxing afternoon. For the beer connoisseurs, the had over 20 beers on tap including the classics. Prices are reasonable and there was ample seating early afternoon on a Saturday. read more

Had a fruity sour and another beer (don't remember which one!) The fruity sour was definitely preferable and smelled like a jolly rancher. :) Didn't get to try any of the food, but the menu looked promising. The bathrooms were pretty clean. It can definitely get crowded in here but the vibes are great! We were served pretty quickly and the bartenders were kind people. I would definitely return when in the area. read more

I used to love this place for its unpretentious atmosphere. But sadly I went when it is busy and was treated like TRASH. Don't bother. It's not worth the surly attitude! No thanks, we have a hundred other options. read more

Great spot for a casual beer. Really nice selection. Prompt service. Great (and interesting) food!

This was a cool bar in the village. We happened to be here during happy hour so it was fairly packed. We just ordered drinks, but lucked out with bar seats. They had some hard to find beers like Hill Farmstead. Their food menu looked good but we weren't hungry. I would come back here. read more

Came here this past Sunday 10/5! Haven't been here for a long time! Beer selection is still phenomenal as it always was and still the best in NYC! However the 2 bartenders that day were total jerks who need to learn how to talk and treat patrons correctly! I thought maybe because I was much older than their usual patrons, that was the reason they were so rude! In any event I was a patron at the Blind Tiger when these guy's mothers were wiping milk off their noses and they should learn to be more courteous when dealing with older people! Great beer is a good reason to check this place out but it's not enough if your staff is rude! read more

I can't believe it took me so long to come here! Blind Tiger is amazing and has an incredible beer list. My partner and I shared a few different selections from their wide variety (28 on tap!!), with my favorite being Amorphia from Hudson Valley Brewing. I hear their tap list changes quite frequently, so I'm looking forward to adding Blind Tiger to my rotation. read more

Awesome. Lots of beer options, good food (try the bean dip). Just tell the bartender what type of beer you want and they got ya covered. Cool bar. read more

I came here with a few friends for drinks. I was impressed by how many different beers they had on tap. There was a really wide array of options. Very casual ambiance, definitely sports bar vibes, but with good beer. They also serve food. read more

Nice craft beer bar on bleecker street. Great to kill time before hitting up John's for pizza. Staff is super friendly.

Amazing food. Awesome selection of beers. Friendly staff. I believe her name was Jen who served me . Top notch. She deserves a raise . Thanks Jen read more

A decent sports pub, not really a place to go out at night though! They don't have liquor except for two cocktails they can make for some reason. read more

Pros: Delightful spot to stop for a drink while sightseeing. They had heat and a few tables. Service was friendly and fast. Cons: Only wine and beer bar. read more

Great bar but pyschotically entitled clientele. Group of yuppies with a couple of babies in strollers already taking up a large area in the bar area decided that they wanted to take over all the tables by window, physically pushing myself and my wife off our stools. Never seen anything like it. read more

There's something infuriating about being denied service for being inebriated... when I haven't even had ONE beer. Did I just cone across awkward because I was waiting for the door guy to either say "ID please" or "You're good". Sometimes I come across as an awkward person, so stupid people will confuse me for being on something. When I told this door guy or bouncer as he was referred to, that I wasn't drunk, he tried telling me how he had been doing this for x amount of years, and he was certain I was drunk. Welp, it look likes he got it wrong, and I'm not letting this go. I may have come across as a littl tired from traveling... but I wasn't sleepy at all. I was told I could go to any other bar, but here's a things... i got stuck having to order Sam Adams at MaxDougal Street Alehouse... and i'm a craft beer drinker, so that would be why I go to Blind Tiger. Why are you guys worried about drunk so much anyway? Us craft beer guys are not big drunks. Fire your bouncer. Fire him now. read more

The bouncer was so rude to us. Both us and our friends were truly disappointed as we were looking forward too this bar and they treated us so poorly. read more

Pretty cool. Nice space in a cool neighborhood. Not too many deals but I was here on a Friday. So it was pretty busy. A standard challenge to get a beer from the busy bar staff, but doable. Will be back. read more

I've wanted to check out this place for a while and had the chance to have a beer outside with my boyfriend tonight. It fell a little short of expectations. I was a little disappointed that their beer list didn't match what they had on their website, mostly because there were a couple I was excited to try that they didn't have when we went. However, it was still a unique beer list in a part of the city with notably few beer bars. Beers are around $8.50-$10. We showed up without a reservation (not sure if they do them) and were seated maybe 20-30 minutes after we arrived. They could have done a better job of having a system - they pretty much just told us to walk around until a table opened. It would have been nice to put our name on a wait list or something rather than just being a crap shoot. Outdoor seating is minimal, but the tables they have are nice. Service was fine, but we definitely felt a little rushed at the end (which was a solid 30 minutes before closing). As is the rule now, we had to order food with our drinks, and asked for the chips and guac. They said they were out of guac and asked if pico was fine instead. I assumed the pico would be cheaper than the guac ($6) but we were still charged the normal price. Kinda crazy for what was MAYBE 10 chips with a tiny little bit of salsa, but whatever. Glad I tried it once, likely won't return. read more

Nice place for a quick beer. There's quite a lot of seating so you can find some place to rest your feet.

Good beer selection, super cozy, and an amazing people-watching spot. The food ain't too shabby either.

Great beer selection... horrible customer service. Was ignored initially then no eye contact and ultimately watched the bartender treat multiple customers rudely. He even yelled at a lady that had an infant in a front carrier. Do yourselves a favor and walk a few blocks to DBA where the scene and the people are considerably more chill. read more

Pretty decent option for an ale house near Bleeker street. We were lucky to get a table when we did and it was nice they have hooks by the tables to hand coats and bags. I scanned the QR code for their menu and was really intrigued by the Brose rose cider crafted by 3 bros. The menu on the wall had different options than the online menu so I was a bit confused if they had things from both. When I ordered the "brose" the bartender said "one rose?" so I clarified "brose" but I guess he still didn't hear that because he got me a rose. Luckily another bartender was able to help me and get that resolved quickly. The fries were pretty average and the music was not bad, but I don't know if anything in particular would draw me back. read more

I've been coming here since they open up in the new location on bleecker st . today I ordered the Grilled cheese special, it was Roast beef, with provolone, caramelized onions, and slice tomato on toasted bread ! Ohh soo , soo good . I ate both sides of the sandwich! There menu is pretty big and they will have season specials that will change like every other week! The have. 28 beers on draft here and wine only ! NO LIQUOR. They have additional seating outside as well , cause it will get packed here like after 6-7 pm on almost any week night ! 2 TVs . The Wings here are awesome! They baked so it may take 20 minutes to get them , but the wait is worth it! . They have mosty shareable dish's like nachos, or wings . Here . read more

Maybe it gets an extra half star because the sun was shining, but we came for the casual atmosphere and the beer selection and we got all that and more. We both went the hazy IPA route and two different versions of the pulled pork with a kimchi twist. It's not often I have a grain bowl and think the "grains" are little more than the base for the main event, but the brown rice quinoa blend was actually delicious on its own. Perfect texture. Pulled pork sandwich looked pretty good too. read more

I've been coming to Blind Tiger for YEARS! It's a classic beer bar with surprisingly good food and a really laid back vibe. You'll be hard pressed to find that combination in this part of the city - most places are too fancy or too fratty to replicate what Blind Tiger offers in west village. There's a great beer list, with plenty of options from near and far. I've always been impressed with the offerings, it's never been hard to find at least one beer that'll keep me happy. Plus the menu is simple bar fare, done well. I like the grilled cheese, as a filling option that goes well with the drinks. But really the whole menu is solid. If you're in WV and need a bar that isn't at the extreme of cocktail snobbery vs Irish pub dive bar, Blind Tiger is the move! read more

Excellent beer selection. Definetly why it was chosen. I also was in the mood to for wings. I had two high ABV beers and Wings. Wings were not the best. Service was slow and borderline unfriendly. She didn't seem too happy she had to come outside, but she looked super overwhelmed so I get it. Definetly will return for some A good beer. read more

Just a perfect beer bar! A great selection of beers and a few wines, which is a big deal for my wife who does not enjoy beer. Came here after some great pizza across the street at John's and it did not disappoint! Its not a huge place and can get a little snug but with some patience we were able to snag a table. The gentleman working the door was extremely friendly and all of the service was delightful. read more

Service is terrible and inconsistent. I got food poisoning from the food. Owners are terrible people with no empathy.

Small, quiet little ale house in the business that is NY. Cozy, yes, I said cozy, it have a fireplace. After a freezing-ass cold day exploring the city, Blind Tiger came to me as a recommendation from a friend and I am pumped on what I have found here. A nice little ale house, great selection of beers and friendly staff doesn't even begin to describe these guys. Friendly, helpful and welcoming. Place is pretty small, I think that is great. 15 seats or so at the bar, 8 tables or so. Plenty of space but intimate. Pretty good looking small menu, mix of things: wings, sandwiches, Mexican, grain bowls. Eclectic. I didn't eat but it looked pretty decent. COVID: they check ID and vaccine per the local regs. I will define be back. I need a place like this to pop into when I am in town. read more
