Super Bowl Guide to Drinking Good Beer

Published by Andy under Beer Bars

Yes, the Super Bowl is an excuse to drink lots of beer.  But there’s no excuse for drinking bad, watered-down crap beer.  All you can drink specials are enticing, we know, but don’t fall for the ones that include only Coors Light or Bud Light.  We’re heading to Rattle ’N’ Hum bar (14 E. 33rd St) [...]

Daytona 500 Viewing Party @ Foley’s NY Pub & Restaurant

Published by Jill under Beer Bars

“Hi, my name is Jill… and I am a NASCAR fan.”  There.  I did it.  In NYC, it is not easy to be a NASCAR fan and it is never easy to find a bar that will put on the race.  During football season, even when the Chase races are on, I’ve been laughed at, [...]

Beer Bar/Gastropub: Waterfront Ale House

Published by Andy under Beer Bars

Before there was the Spotted Pig and before the rise of the gastropub, there was Waterfront Ale House. You would never guess from the outside that this Murray Hill saloon (there’s a second location in Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill) serves up some amazing grub. A hand-painted sign on the wall self-depracatingly proclaims this pub to be the [...]
