What it's known for
Bright Manhattan taproom and cocktail bar of Brooklyn's TALEA, with lots of natural light, cosy nooks and a small patio: flights of its sours, hazy IPAs and lagers, plus wine, cocktails, coffee and snacks (pretzels, cheese plates). Open noon to 10pm Sunday to Thursday and noon to midnight Friday and Saturday.
Steps from Christopher St-Stonewall (1). A gentle start before the classic beer bars.
Check opening hours with the venue before you go: they change, especially early in the week.
