We came for a quick lunch and it wasn't busy at all. It's a relatively small beer bar with a big menu. We shared the fried chicken sandwich and veggie burger. Both were good! A solid spot in the area. read more

It's lunchtime! Place sits right on the corner and you can't miss. Not crowded at all and was seated immediately, well lit setting. Server was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the burger with side of string onions. Burger was loaded and so good so were the onion strings. It had a nice bar I'll try next time. Though the menus felt a bit sticky and could be cleaned up a bit. But overall it was a nice place. read more

We stopped in for Saturday brunch and had a great meal! The staff were so friendly and nice. We shared fried pickles, challah French toast and the polenta cakes. Everything was delicious. The food came out quick and was piping hot. They have an extensive beer menu and also serve wine and cocktails. There's seating indoors as well as outdoor seating if you prefer to be outside. Really nice spot in a neighborhood that can be a little bit of a restaurant desert. read more

This place is great. I've been here quite a few times and the food and service has always been great. However, today my chicken sandwich was a bit thin. I told the bartender and the owner came over and asked how she could make it better. She was very sweet about the whole ordeal and suggested another piece of chicken and I accepted. She's also super personable with her regulars. And as I'm typing this she came over and said "I was doing to comp you a beer but you've already paid." So I took her up on a third read more

Checked out East Harlem Bottling while on a guy's weekend in NYC and this spot is definitely a gem you'll want to check out. First, the staff is by far the nicest, friendliest people I think on all of New York. They were welcoming from start to finish and were attentive at every turn. Seriously, the kind and helpful staff alone warrant you checking out East Harlem Bottling. I ordered a southwest salad and aded blackened chicken and left out the onions. Romaine lettuce, black beans, corn and more graced the bowl and the ranch dressing was excellent and cooled off the blackened chicken nicely. Two of my friends had the blackened chicken sandwich while another went with the black bean burger and raved about how good that was. The inside of the restaurant was nice but the day was too perfect so we sat at the outdoor tables on the side of the restaurant which had a nice canopy keeping the sun out and served us perfectly. read more

My friend and I came in for happy hour. We sat and were given menus. Our waitress Corinne was great! She was very patient when we weren't sure what we wanted to order and gave us recommendations. Our drinks were great! I had the gumbo which was delicious and very flavorful. I also had the fried pickles which were perfectly fried. The bang bang cauliflower was perfectly seasoned and had a great sauce. My friend had the burger which was perfectly cooked. Its a small space but we really enjoyed it. read more

I have no idea why it took me so long to try this place, but it did and I have to say I really regret not coming here years ago. We finally went in for bunch and some biscuits and gravy thing....which was really excellent. The service was miles and miles ahead of anything else in the area. Had such a lovely time we came back for dinner a week later. Again, the food and service were so good that im really looking forward to returning. The place just has an all around great vibe, good food and nice staff. read more

East Harlem Bottling - The Strawberry/Basil Sangria is so refreshing and tasty! Also very addictive to be honest. Is that good. - Beer Bar Near Me - New York, New York

Drinks were good. Atmosphere was really calm, it was a Monday night so slow beginning of the week, but it was perfect for us. The food was mid, I mean I think they have the right idea but it lacks something I cannot pin point, it might be personal preference but it was decent food. The Mac n cheese needed some more flavor, but it was good enough to enjoy. The steak sandwich was good, but lacked some moisture in how tender and flavorful it could've been. The Brownie and gelato for dessert was decent, if the brownie was warmed maybe it would've balanced out with the cold ice cream, but other than that good spot. I would visit again, maybe. Our waiter was helpful. He helped in the choices of beers to pick from. Service was quick, efficient. Although it felt as if we were being rushed. read more

Cute interior and good vibes inside. Good bar style food. I like the cheese curds especially.

Got an awesome burger with onion strings. Didn't have a cocktail, but their bartenders and servers are always great! Friendly neighborhood vibe here and at their sister restaurant, Perch. The gumbo is also yummy! read more

First time there. Looked online for menu. we had Spatzel, pretzel, sausage combo and prosciutto fig flatbread. We shared all of them, it was too good not too. Good food, great service, good atmosphere. Why great service? How many places will run two blocks to give you back the CC you left on the table. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. read more

In the 3 years I have lived in the neighborhood and have been frequenting this establishment, Never I have I been so insulted and disrespected. I was just charged $26 for one drink!!!. I can justify paying $16 for a signature cocktail, as doesn't seem too far off in price. But to have the unmitigated Gaul to add an additional $10 for Casamigos brand tequila is revolting!!!! it is down right disrespectful!!! To the owner of this establishment and its sister establishment PERCH I say SHAME ON YOU !!!!! The temerity. I will never and I will ensure that none of my friends or collogues or acquaintances ever again spend at dime at your establishments ever again!! oh wait I was charged for a side of MUSTARD!! are you serious?!!! less than an once worth. read more

Wings the day before the Super Bowl? We were told the wings is the signature dish and a fan favorite at this spot , so I had to try them. They didn't disappoint. A delicious tangy with a bit of "wow!" sauce on large pieces of wings and drumsticks. Large pieces of carrots and celery and a a creamy slightly blue cheese lumpy dipping sauce. I took two pieces home and they were still satisfying two days later. With calamari one never knows if you get the squiggles or the circles, and alas the dish had more of what we didn't like. But we could pick through and enjoy the lightly battered taste. Nothing of great note for that dish. Service was attentive and cafe tables clean. People were seated at the bar, at tables, and walking into another room in the back. I had a Harlem ale which I'd have again. I'll be back! read more

We have only visited once, but enjoyed it very much. Casual, quiet place for our lunch on our way to a walk in Central Park. I had a cup of gumbo, which is meaty and delicious and served with a cup of rice, making it quite filling. Husband had a cup of chili, served with tortilla chips, and as a lunch special he added the traveler salad. Very welcoming place, we'd be sure to come back when we are near. read more

My anticipation was met with food that truly satisfied. This place looks carefully designed, but the natural warmth of staff matters most. The team is truly helpful and handles every need. The plates show consistency. I see future meals happening here. read more

Food is fine, beer list is great, staff are super friendly, service overall is a bit off. FOOD: The veggie macaroni and cheese ($16) was disappointing. The cheese sauce was thin and not very flavorful - if your ideal mac & cheese involves velveeta (no judgement!) you might love this, but I like a fuller/sharper flavor and less runny sauce. The garlicky Panko on top was a nice touch though! The hush puppies with hothoney butter ($9) were good, but the order only came with 5 little balls, meaning they were $2 per piece. My partner got the fried cod sandwich and liked it a lot! SERVICE: Our server was very friendly and attentive. But there was an issue with our appetizer (hush puppies), which still hadn't come out after all 4 entrees were served. We asked her about it, and she went to check. When they eventually came out, there wasn't an apology or explanation. It kinda of defeats the purpose of an appetizer if it arrives after the main course... Also, if there were happy hour specials we wouldn't have known. I think there was a weekly dinner entree posted on a board behind the bar, but that wasn't on the online menu and the server didn't mention it either. read more

Came here for a Sunday brunch. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We started outside but asked to move inside because of an aggressive bee situation and they seamlessly moved us without any issues. Staff also came by frequently to check on us and everything we ordered came out quickly. Place has a casual sports bar type of feel, although there were also plenty of kids there having pancakes too. They have a nice draft craft beer menu and the beer came out ice cold. Food was fantastic. Very flavorful, nicely cooked, good portions. Will definitely be back. read more

I've been back a couple of times since my last review, and I will say they are consistently good on service and food. The time before last sat at the bar and had drinks and tested out their soft pretzels. I had the passion fruit mimosa, and they are addictive! Recommended by the bar tender. This last time we had brunch with the burger and country breakfast w/jalapeno/cheddar biscuit. All was very tasty, and we were glad we decided to make the walk over. Highly recommend if you're in the neighborhood! read more

I came here for an early dinner and it was quite delicious. I had the chicken biscuit sandwich, the mocktail Waikiki, a side of Macaroni and cheese and dessert. So let's start with what I liked the chicken sandwich was quite good. The biscuit was flavorful and soft and the chicken was good as well. The mocktail was also really good and the dessert was delicious and refreshing. We ordered the brownie with mango sorbet, the brownie was airy chocolatey with the mango sorbet it was the perfect combination. The mango sorbet was fresh and refreshing. The service was great we sat outside and the waiter was attentive. We would have liked more water refill we were super thirsty but overall it the service was good. The owners came over to check on all the tables which I think was great. The macaroni and cheese was a bit watery and did not have that baked macaroni and cheese texture I enjoy. Overall this is a good place the service is great and the food is as well. I would not recommend the macaroni and cheese but that's my preference. read more

I have past this place many times. I finally went there for Brunch this past weekend. I ordered the Steak & Eggs and my sister ordered the burger. While we waited for our food we ordered some drinks. I tried the French 107, and the Passion Fruit Sangria. My sister tried the Harlem Mule, PInot Grigio & Shochu & Soda. The server informed us they only sold Beer & Wine. They informed us abut their other restaurant called Perch that served alcohol. When our food arrived, we were both happy that our medium well order was cooked to perfection and juicy. My order of steak & eggs came with a jalapeno cheddar biscuit. All I can say is that the biscuit was the star on my plate. It was so good, I barely touched the salad and I could see ordering a side order of just the biscuits. Overall the staff was friendly and nice. They answered our questions since it was our first time at the venue. I asked if they had happy hour and was told it's during the week from 3-6pm. read more

Great burgers, brats, and chicken! Everything we ordered was delicious! It's a bar, but family friendly too! Excellent and friendly service.

Love this place. This had definitely been my go to place in the neighborhood. Service is always great and enjoy all my meals here, since they opened up. Gel for happy hours or any time of the day. Drinks are always pleasing and good is delish. My go to is wings with fries here but decided to try something different. The gumbo was yummy and my sister enjoyed the fall flatbread they had. She wasn't crazy about the calamari as they seemed a bit different to her but to each their own. Drinks were perfect, thanks again! read more

Friendly service and excellent cheese curds! The brunch cocktails were very tasty - Passionfruit white sangria.

Very cozy bar with a semi-rustic feel. Great staff, very friendly and willing to accommodate. Owner, Leo, is welcoming and willing to participate in operation as needed. Several taps available, great variety. Food was as described; great for a bar. Outdoor seating is very spacious. Overall, this location is great for the "after-work" crowd or a quick "date" during the warmer months. read more

A lower Harlem delight. Our order: arugula salad, and a carafe of the special strawberry basil sangria. This was a mid-day pick-me-up after walking for miles. It is essentially an oasis to our tired legs. The staff greeted us with carafes of iced cold water quickly. The arugula salad was tasty. Can't complain. The sangria was absolutely a one way ticket to flavourtown. It was sparkly, light, aromatic, and all around refreshing. We sat outside under large red umbrellas and relaxed. As a complete side note, our waiter was very handsome, so that was just a perk on top of the great service, even if he roots for the Tampa Bay Lightning. read more

While there are plenty of restaurants that can probably compete food wise, the service is what resonates with me. Our waitress just had such a positive energy and attentiveness. She offered helpful input such as ordering fries to share would be plenty for two people. We went on a Saturday night and it was just her and the bartender but I haven't had such attentive service that sticks in my mind in a long time. Food came out hot, we never had to wait to order a drink and she even boxed up my meal in the back instead of bringing me a box to do it myself. I especially enjoyed their Neruda mocktail which was grenadine, lime seltzer and cinnamon. I wasn't sure how the cinnamon would be but I really enjoyed the drink and creativity. There is also lots of outdoor seating. Bathrooms were clean but small. My partner had the steak sandwich which he rated 6/5 stars. I had the black bean burger which was good but I think with any black bean burger there's always the struggle of it "mooshing" out the sides. read more

East Harlem Bottling - Jalapeño cheddar biscuit and egg sandwich with potatoes - Beer Bar Near Me - New York, New York

This is a quaint little place in Harlem that serves brunch and different beers on tap. My friends and I came here for brunch on a Saturday at about 12:45 PM. We didn't have to wait for a table and were able to choose between outdoor and indoor seating. Our server was who I'm assuming to be the owner. He was super friendly and easy to converse with. One thing I found odd about this restaurant is the water cups they give you are about the size of a shot glass. You are able to pour your own water out of a reused bottle of wine. It's cute but pretty inefficient considering you finish your water in two sips haha. I ordered the country breakfast. My overeasy eggs were cooked perfectly. Runny yolks and cooked whites. The bread was a thin rustic slice and the sausage was a sausage patty. The bacon was really weird though! It was an off brown color, hard, and almost had a jerky taste. Not sure if this was day old bacon or that is just the way they cook it. The hash browns were flaky which is how I personally like them. This was a good brunch place for the price. May return back here if I'm ever in Harlem. read more

An excellent place for brunch, a late lunch, or dinner. Ample outdoor seating with heat lamps. Excellent beer selection and they have a sister bar about a block away if you're craving cocktails. Good place for a date or hanging with friends. When I went here for brunch, I ordered the Jala Sammies ($15). The portion is large, and you could get this to share depending on how hungry you are. One of the biscuit sandwiches was enough to fill me up. Very good. When I went here for dinner, I got the Adobo Nachos added chicken ($18) and the Beer Battered Pickles ($10). The nachos were great, and I suggest sharing. The battered pickles were light and crispy. This place has some of the best bar food in Manhattan and the staff is very friendly. read more

The weather is warming in NYC which means it's time for brunch outdoors. I made a reservation for 2ppl around 2pm on a Saturday and it did begin to fill up as we ate so make a reservation. We sat outside and I love that they have covered and uncovered outdoor seating. For brunch, I had the southern fried chicken sandwich and I honestly don't think that I've ever had one that tasty. mimosas were amazing. read more
