## What it's known for

East Village institution founded in 1994 by the late Ray Deter, a pioneer of good beer in New York: around 20 drafts (lots of local beer plus Belgian imports), a long bottle and can list sorted by style, serious bourbon, and a large heated back garden. Dogs welcome; order in food. Home of the annual Crown of New York brewery tournament. Open noon to 4am daily.

Between 2nd and 3rd Streets; 2 Av (F). The garden makes it a year-round option.

Check opening hours with the venue before you go: they change, especially early in the week.
