Proletariat

This was one of the most enjoyable bars I've been to in NY. Definitely the ultimate beer geek bar, and can see how it can be intimidating to those that may not have very little beer knowledge. I was definitely impressed with the selection, especially since there was several beers they had on tap I wasn't familiar with (and I consider myself quite the beer buff).

My friend and I had a great time drinking some great brew and talking beer with Anthony. A very cool dude and will definitely take his time to help you choose a beer you will enjoy, so don't be shy to let him know that the most adventurous beer you've drank is Newcastle...

I'll definitely be making a stop here when in NY.

This is kind of a speakeasy beer place. Almost missed it when I walked by. Good choice of craft beers, and the bartenders really know their stuff. I like to sit by the window to people watch. There's about 4 stools here. Overall, this is a nice place to hang out with a small group of friends.

Went here after dinner at Cafe Mogador. Great place if you enjoy beer. They have several craft on tap as well as unique bottles. As everyone has said, the bartenders are helpful and will guide you depending on what you're in the mood for. This seems to be their trademark, as the bartender is eager to help. I tend toward IPAs and darker beers, and enjoyed the recommendation the bartender had for me. Only drawback is the size and layout. One long bar, kind of like a diner, without much room to stand.

That said, I hope to return with my fiancee or a buddy that digs craft beers. I wouldn't recommend it if you're with a group. You'd be hard pressed to find a space that would fit more than 2-3 people.
