    Great selection of craft beer and great food. Really friendly service, and cool vibe.

    The first beer bar I stopped at in New York City was City Beer. Mostly because I was looking for a place that had Messorem on draft and had beer to go. City Beer checked both of those boxes. And with a "short" walk (ok, might have been more like 30 minutes, but who is counting), it was worth the trek there and back for the draft pour and the case of beer to bring back to Minnesota. While perusing the shop for cans to bring home, I had a couple pours. This World Is Fading Away: A Double IPA in Collaboration Between Messorem and Everywhere Beer Co. Brewed with Citra, Citra Cryo, Citra Dynaboost, Riwaka, and Riwaka Cryo. Dunkel Weisse: A Dunkelweizen by Sly Fox Brewing Company Brewed with German Munich and Wheat Malts using a traditional Bavarian Wheat Beer Yeast. ____________

    Great place close to grand central for high quality beers of all varieties (18 on tap today). The food options looked good (many types of Melt sandwiches, hot dogs and pretzels with a couple of vegan options). Service is friendly. I've been a few times when in the area and never disappointed.

    Best selection of really good beer in NYC! Decent grilled cheese options to complement. Cool small local vibe for the big city!

    For a happy hour, has an amazing selection and a great hot dog (with BACON!). There are FRIDGES full of beer options, and an outdoor patio, and imo very well priced 750ml bottles, for all the friends!

    I am game for an outing any day and anytime of the week as long as it's for beer and grilled cheese @citybeernyc Our server was the sweetest guy. We visited just a few minutes after their kitchen closed and requested if we could get the grilled cheese as we were here for just that. He instantly agreed and whipped an amazing one for us. We got their Saints grilled cheese which has 3 cheeses melted with caramelized onions and grilled with cultured butter . The truffle pretzel which has truffle salt and oil was out of the world! Ps: Their grilled cheese is the best I've had in the city! Goes so perfectly with a beer!

    Great beer selection!

    A nice place to grab a beer and hot dog after work especially if you work near Grand Central Station. They have a couple of freezers inside with different types of beers in stock. I'm a stouts, porter, sours beer person so I was happy to see the large selection they have both on tap and in cans. The hotdog I ordered was great and spicy. French fries weren't overcooked either.

    Stumbled upon this place walking back from a dinner! TLDR; fantastic selection of craft beer. Would recommend for catching up with a friend! Highlights: knowledgeable and friendly bartender, can order beer and sit in (or outside in their roofed outdoor dining space!) or grab a few cans to go, superb craft beer Beware there is not much seating inside! 80% of the seating is the outdoor section. Beer on tap ranges from $9-$13 but is DELICIOUS. Well worth.

    I checked into the Pod 39 Hotel on 4/26. As I went looking for some food and drink; just a left turn from the hotel lobby, I noticed City Beer nearby. It was a rainy evening, and it looked good, and I went in. Here is what I had: GRILLED CHEESE.....................................................................14 Gruyere & Raclette melted between sourdough with cultured-butter sourdough and grilled onions I also enjoyed a couple of Scottish beers, don't remember the brand, sorry. Citybeer.net at 200 East 39th Street NYC.

    I came here with my bf and we ordered melts and a few beers. The melts are advertised on the menu to come with chips and cornichons, but when it arrived there was a handful of popcorn and no cornichons. Honestly for $14+ grilled cheeses we were pretty disappointed, though the sandwich itself was tasty. I guess the bar is already pretty high when it's priced like that lol. The waiter did bring a small plate with some chips after I pointed it out (which I appreciate!) but overall I would not recommend spending your money on that menu item. If I decide to go back for food I'd try the pretzel instead. That being said, it's nice to have this beer shop in the neighborhood to grab bottles to go.

    I dig this spot, a little less selection than I'm used to at my other joints but this place is super close to home and great in a pinch.
