New York City Craft Beer Havens

[Dunc]

I have six days. Any beery must sees/ must dos? Have had some good advice already. I arrive on St Pat's Day so that'll be a eye-opener.

Cheers.

Hard list to filter down obviously, but if you go to any of those you won't be lacking for good beer. (Some places are retailers rather than bars).

Rattle-n-hum has a great selection.

I used to travel there a lot. You will notice that in some bottle shops they have a selection of craft beers that takes 4 aisles. Quite impressive.

It really depends where in NYC you will be.

Staying very close to Times Square.

OK. Definately go to Rattle-n-Hum and the Pony bar. Both are excellent. Rattle-n-hum can get quite busy during the 6 o'clock swill.<---- These two are real good. They are in easy walking distance.

Blind Tiger has a decent selection. It is not quite as close though.

Heartland brewery is right there as well...it is a chain restaurant that has their own beers. Not great stuff, but better than budweiser.
