Certainly one of the better beer bars in Brooklyn and probably in all of NYC due to one thing: selection. There is a delightful breadth of choices for beers in this narrow bar that is frequented by 20-somethings who inhabit the hipster and post-college corporate scenes. One thing to note is that most of the beers are not for the faint of heart (or slight of tolerance). The high percentage of alcohol contents in many of the featured beers is not something with which to trifle. Put simply, these beers can put you on your bum before you know it. Still, the talkative, jovial atmosphere keeps one from drinking too quickly. I'd advise sidling up to the bar if possible, since the seats along the back wall are right in front of the bathrooms. Otherwise if the weather's warm, head out back where most everyone (including the smokers) congregate. This place is perfect for groups of friends looking for a place to start the night. Perhaps best enjoyed after a trip to Williamsburg's Dumont Burger.
