On a Friday noon, I went to explore Great Jones at a friend's recommendation. To my pleasant…read moresurprise, Friday has an all day happy hour menu. I ordered a plethora of cocktails, including the old fashioned, Manhattan, paper plane, and negroni. All arrived in frosted glasses - a nice attention to detail. The old fashioned featured brown sugar syrup,.which rounded out the palate well. The Manhattan tasted well spiced - herbal but not overwhelming so. I also ordered a dozen oysters ($2 ea). These proved light on brine and extra fresh. I found no errant shell pieces. The lemon arrived sleeved, and the mignonette was a smoky chipotle. The happy hour price point is almost criminally cheap here. Sunday also has the happy hour menu.

Great Jones Distilling Co. 686 Broadway, NoHo…read moreNew York New York Taking on Manhattan's first legal whiskey distillery since Prohibition could have easily ended up feeling like a tourist trap, but Great Jones actually pulls it off. Tucked into a classic NoHo spot on lower Broadway, the place hits the mark on ambiance--think warm lighting, sleek wood, and custom copper stills glowing right in the background. The drinks are the main event, and the Old Fashioned is every bit as smooth and well-balanced as advertised, complete with custom-branded ice as a sharp, deliberate detail. Pair it with a solid menu at the bar, and it's an easy go-to whether you're grabbing a quick late-afternoon drink or settling in for the evening. It's polished without feeling overly stuffy, bringing genuine craft back into the neighborhood.

We visited on a Saturday in the late afternoon, and the place wasn't busy at all. The bartender was friendly and polite, and the interior was very spacious. It's a great spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy a few beers with friends. They also serve food. The beer was excellent, and the Liberty Lager was especially delicious. It's definitely worth a visit, particularly if you live nearby.

It's a cute brewery, but not as aesthetic as their Cobble Hill location. On a Saturday evening, the…read morespace was packed and busy, but also made having any conversation very difficult. I tried a seasonal beer, which reminded me of a Guinness. They usually have lighter beers, so this was nice. Just a spot to hang out as I'm not much of a beer drinker though.

Located on 2nd floor just above the courtyard near amazing bbq and a short walk from the Japanese food court. Was worth the trip! The best beer of the day was the Barrel-aged imperial stout - Comes the night. These were also available in bottles. Ultra smooth and rich flavor for a 10%. Faint chocolate and vanilla. The pale ale was a touch watery. Pilsner was average IPA above average Really enjoyed the Belgian dubbel

After my most recent appointment, I made time. A chalk board sign out front, advertising frozen drinks, really drew me in. After being told by my doc that I'm still fat and only getting fatter, a buzzy, tasty drink was just what I needed to lift my spirits. Myrtle Wines is a nice looking place, stocked full of beautiful bottles of every type of wine. I was directed to the back of the store to choose my beverage and then sent to the front again to pay. I was finally given a casino type of token to give to the drink maker. The drinks are poured from slushy machines. My frosé selection was so boozy, frosty and great! I had to pull the cup away from me and just stare at it for a second. That drink was hitting me in thee BEST way on the first sip. I'll be frequenting Myrtle Wines & Spirits this summer for sure. Good stuff!

Since it was my first time here I decided to do a tasting so I could try some of the wine they have. My husband and I got the Seasonal and the Library.

But what everyone comes here for is their amazing happy hour serving cocktails for only $5! The drinks are premade from tap, but still absolutely worth it. Even without happy hour prices, the cocktails go for $12, which is pretty great in NY standards. I had La Niña, Bourbon Old Fashioned, Socialite, and FOMO --none of the disappointed. While they all ranged from 20-30% ABV, they all tasted too good that you don't really get much of the alcohol taste. A must go spot to start your night.

We went inside expecting some really low quality beers for $1, however this store had high quality microbrewery cans for $1! This place looks like a beer distribution, and maybe that's why they were able to sell cans of beer for so cheap. They have such a good selection of beers, and all of them are extremely affordable. The main person selling beer was so nice that he gave us a six pack of an excellent IPA for free! The other amazing thing is that they have a bathroom you are able to use. The best bathroom is really clean as well. Overall, one of the best hole in the wall places you could hope to stumble upon while walking in New York City!!

TapRm is a garage-style shop with cases of carefully selected craft beer forming a beautiful beer wall, a few leafy green plants here and there. This is essentially a beer-to-go spot, though you may also be able to sample some beer with the two owners who are helpful, friendly, and fun to chat with. They have a nice range of local/regional beers, all with the coolest art, and after you make your selection, you can pick up a cold one in the fridge in the back. As we deliberated on which to bring home, a few cyclists rode by perhaps on the way home, picked up a few cans, and went on their way. If that doesn't make your daily commute better, I don't know what will. Maybe if they offered some snacks too. We ended up going home with a few IPAs and sours and enjoyed them immensely. Overall, a solid, friendly spot to stop by, grab some brews, and make your way to/from Williamsburg. Best discovered and experienced if you're on foot or bike.
