Reminds me of a place back home. This is a go-to IPA joint. I sipped good here. Service was kind, didn’t feel overwhelmed by the crowd, and was attentive to my empty glass. Very responsive. Delicious choices all around. Thank you!

Excellent brewery, with a convenient taproom in the middle of Manhattan. Drafts, plus cans to go. Their IPAs are well regarded, and for good reason, but don't miss their lagers.

My happy place in NYC to taste some of the best beers in the land! Alex and crew were pouring some new great one’s like Blue Crab and HDHC Nothing But Net. Cheers

A haven from the craziness of Rockefeller plaza. This tap room had great beers and clean bathrooms. Decent amount of table spaces and friendly bar tender.

Solid brewery near Rockefeller Center! I like how it’s tucked away from tourist spots. The space is way smaller than the one in Domino Park but plenty of beer options to choose from. If you’re a hazy IPA person like me, this is your place. ...

In town from Texas and had to stop by! I've always been an other half fan and went to the domino location a few years back. It's a small place but they still had a good variety on tap. Also had cocktails for those that would be interested. Can't wait to be back, cheers!
