    Where have you been all my life?Great beers on tap, amazing coffee and really friendly staff. They wifi is really good as well.I spent an afternoon here hashing out a lot of work. Its on my list of hidden gems in the city!

  • Review 2 (2024-08-20 - Rating: 5)

    First knew of this place as a bar that hosts speed dating, trivia night, and live music, but don’t sleep on them during the daytime as a cafe to people watch from. A true staple of Midtown East with a great beer selection and even better service.

  • Review 3 (2024-10-06 - Rating: 5)

    We love the 54th St. location but went to Long Island City today. Great spot to get a drink and a bite! Service was “great” and fun atmosphere!

  • Review 4 (2024-06-28 - Rating: 5)

    There’s craft beer. There’s funky music playing. It’s open air. There’s yellow seats on the sidewalk. The bartender is friendly and knows his stuff. Need I say more?Double green dots is a divine IPA. Bit fruity like mango probably, but not really sweet. Maintains a tasteful bitterness. Hazy as they come.I’ll be back.

    Really loved going here! They have a wide variety of beers on tap to choose from, and they also serve coffee. We chose a couple of beers and they were all very good. They even have cute little tasting mugs for beers you want to sample! Bartender was very knowledgeable and super nice too. Place was nicely decorated and I loved how open and airy it was.

    Cute corner coffeeshop. Nice espresso drinks made with care. Decent amount of outdoor seating. Very neighborhood crowd. Staff is friendly. There are not a lot of food choices. Clean, stylish bathrooms, which is a plus in todays environment. 😁 Worth a stop by...

  • Review 8 (2019-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    This place was great. We are really excited to have it in the neighborhood. Liam was our bartender and he was great. I had the dry cider. I really liked it. Tasted a lot like a champagne or Prosecco. Looking forward to many more beers at this awesome new place

  • Review 9 (2024-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    What a little gem! Highly recommend this place because theyre so friendly and the service is amazing. The food and drinks are great, too.

  • Review 10 (2024-04-20 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome - very unique craft beer / cocktail / coffee shop. Tons of great events and a good date spot. Can go in on the afternoon and see young professionals on a laptop enjoying a craft beer, people stopping in for coffee, or others from the neighborhood trying different beers. Very knowledgeable staff, you’ll always learn something new and have a good time. I set up a greats of craft beer subscription as a gift. My favorite bar in the city

  • Review 11 (2024-05-26 - Rating: 5)

    Stumbled upon this place during a sunny day in NYC and stopped in as they have so many delicious beer options plus wine/cocktails/coffee/tea. Windows open and tv playing sports. They got busy while I was there but I could see them working to be sure to attend to every customer and always with a smile and graciousness. I liked that I could try different beers with 6oz options rather than commit to 16oz of one thing in particular. I will definitely be back.

  • Review 12 (2024-10-09 - Rating: 4)

    I really wanted to like this place, but the only good beer was tapped out. Server seemed awkward about it. 4 stars because the potential is definitely there and would give it another try.

  • Review 13 (2020-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    A MAJOR variety of beers. Both tap and cans. Especially IPAs which are my favorite! They also serve cappuccino and light fare. Back room is spacious with couches and very chill. Dogs are welcome. People are playing games and there is good music playing throughout.

    Nice spot to sit, relax and people watching on nice weather day.

  • Review 15 (2024-01-14 - Rating: 5)

    Only had a beer and sampled a few others. Super nice staff and inviting atmosphere. I had a beer around happy hour time while finishing up work on my laptop. There were several others finishing up laptop work as patrons came in transitioning to post work happy hour. Great neighborhood feel.

    Thank you mangers for making my event memorable! You are amazing

  • Review 17 (2023-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    Love this local spot for coffee in the morning with a pastry or stopping in regularly for live music and a drink from extensive list. The selection is great from different types of beer to the espresso martini. We spend hours here because of the service and atmosphere. Great addition to the neighborhood that keeps getting better- they have a great selection of products for gifts and even Cafe Panna ice cream in their freezer. Thanks for continuing to build a fabulous neighborhood staple

  • Review 18 (2024-05-29 - Rating: 4)

    A good place to have beer, they have a cafeteria included, I didnt order food this time, their prices were a little high, the atmosphere was very relaxed, even though it was Wednesday and daytime.

  • Review 19 (2019-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing selection of beer and wine. Great bites to eat, friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. A very clean, bright, and well decorated bar.

  • Review 20 (2019-07-14 - Rating: 5)

    Tastes or pours, plus 6 oz pours available. Great craft beer selection, 30 taps, package goods to go. Light food from neighborhood purveyors. Great service, friendly local vibe, late hours.

  • Review 21 (2024-09-23 - Rating: 4)

    This place is great, nice corner with good outdoor tables. Kid and dog friendly! Great beer selection and the staff is great. The only downside is the cocktails, I’ve tried multiple times now and they’re just … below average. And yet they’re priced like they’re top tier. Stick to beers and you’ll have a great time.

  • Review 22 (2019-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    Incredible list of beers and the owners and the staff are so outgoing and friendly. Love this place. For beer lovers for sure. Check it out.

  • Review 23 (2023-02-16 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing place ! I am officially a regular who resides nearby this wonderful place :) All year round there’s a versatile, seasonal variety of beer to indulge in, mixed cocktails and great eats! Other honorable mentions include: Trivia every Tuesday and live music all weekend ! It’s almost impossible to have a bad experience here ! Come create your own 😊

  • Review 24 (2023-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    Great local spot. I come here after work or during work (you can post up in the back). Lots of regulars, and lots of quality beers - mainstays and a more eclectic selection, canned, if you’re feeling adventurous.Go here on a first date.

  • Review 25 (2024-01-05 - Rating: 5)

    Great options— from retail items to the best coffee in the city. I recommend this shop to people who work from home, or those who would like a chill environment to hang with friends at night!

  • Review 26 (2022-06-28 - Rating: 4)

    Cool, inviting coffee shop by day/pub by night local store. I went in early and got a regular coffee which was decent. They have more seating in the back and the place including the bathroom was clean. They sell a lot of items in store.

  • Review 27 (2023-06-26 - Rating: 5)

    GoC has welcoming staff, an extensive tap list, and a warm environment to hang with friends. Very reasonable prices too. Pro tip: grab a slice from Marinara across the street and bring it over.

  • Review 28 (2024-10-28 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to chill. They keep the place beautifully clean. Service is excellent. Just awesome atmosphere and great coffee.

  • Review 29 (2022-06-11 - Rating: 4)

    Had a pastrami sandwich and tried two beers. The beers were overpriced yet ok. The pastrami sandwich was top notch. Service is ok. It’s behind the counter. I don’t understand why they still charge for tips (18-22%) if they are just doing the very basic and handing it over to you by the counter. Well, I am used to beer bars in Brazil and there they refuse to even charge you 10% for service even though most times they will serve you at the table…

  • Review 30 (2022-03-03 - Rating: 5)

    A new and welcome addition to the neighborhood. By day you will find great coffee, pastries, and a quiet place to bring your laptop a do some work. By evening this is the perfect happy hour location with craft cocktails, beers on tap, and always a game on. Everyone is always so friendly. It is just what Sutton Place needed!

  • Review 31 (2024-11-05 - Rating: 4)

    Great coffee, staff could be more friendly

  • Review 32 (2024-07-31 - Rating: 4)

    Visited during the day. Cool space - I appreciate the rooftop! I think with the right events and entertainment this place will do great in the neighborhood. The prices are a bit obscene - paid almost $10 for a (small) almond milk matcha latte. Did not see any vegan options for food either.

  • Review 33 (2020-08-10 - Rating: 5)

    Greats of craft is the perfect neighborhood place from morning coffee to a relaxing evening beer (although they also have a great selection of locally sourced vodka, gin and wine). The barista Brandon not only makes the best coffee but is friendly and welcoming and always greets us with a warm smile! I would highly recommend coming here!

  • Review 34 (2021-05-08 - Rating: 5)

    Such a chill spot. Perfect for the first tinder date or your 10 year anniversary. Awesome staff, great beer and wine selection and top shelf liquors. Pop by for a one and done or belly up to the bar and have a few. Great spot in a weird part of town.

  • Review 35 (2019-06-25 - Rating: 5)

    Great beer selection to pick from. They have 25+ taps (not only beer, wine and kombucha too) and stand by kegs of other beers for when one of the taps runs out. Nice selection of snacks and they carry pizza from Sofias, next door. The space is comfy and pleasant to hang out, and the staff was super knowledgeable and helps you decide which beer you are in the mood for

  • Review 36 (2025-01-05 - Rating: 5)

    Great place for craft beer.

  • Review 37 (2019-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    Wonderful establishment with a vast selection of local and regional craft beers. Warm, inviting atmosphere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not even a big beer drinker, and I loved it! Highly recommend - will definitely be back.

  • Review 38 (2023-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    I recently visited The Greats of Craft, and it was an incredible experience. The bartender was truly exceptional, offering great suggestions and displaying extensive knowledge about their offerings. With an impressive selection of 30 beers on tap, ranging from various styles to satisfy any palate, I was spoiled for choice. The small bites menu complemented the drinks perfectly, providing tasty accompaniments. However, the real highlight was the cocktail I ordered— A Whiskey Sour - it was absolutely superb. The attention to detail and expert craftsmanship truly shone through. I highly recommend The Greats of Craft to anyone seeking a memorable night out.

    29 Taps plus a large selection of beers in a cooler. Large variety of styles. All craft beers. Coffee and other drinks are also available. Only 3 sandwiches on the menu, but my pastrami was good.

  • Review 41 (2022-01-10 - Rating: 5)

    The outside shed is very dog friendly. Love the wine on tap here.

  • Review 42 (2020-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome place which showcases interesting beers both on tap and in bottles/cans. The staff were relaxed and approachable but also very professional (keeping track of orders, waiting tables, cleaning up) even though he was on his own during the lunch shift.Pricing was reasonable, although these are small batch beers so expect the low end draft prices to be ~$8 a beer (you can drink the cans on premises).Theres high tables and a bar area at the front, and a modest sized room at the back with couches and games. During the day its surprisingly child/family friendly. There are even good coffee options.

    Our first stop in NYC. Great craft beer spot with an amazing grilled cheese. Perfect spot to grab a beer, coffee, or nice glass of wine. We appreciate the hospitality.

  • Review 46 (2019-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    Best place for craft beer in Midtown East. You can drink in house or take beers, wine, spirits and coffee to go. The event space in the back is great extra space and could be rented for private events.

  • Review 47 (2022-08-21 - Rating: 5)

    There is nothing to not like about this small neighborhood bar with craft beers, cocktails, snacks and terrific outdoor seating. There is always a nice crowd here almost anytime day or evening but seating is plentiful.

    Best place in midtown east to grab a high quality beer. I’d recommend joining the membership club to get the beer and popcorn in the back.

  • Review 63 (2023-02-01 - Rating: 5)

    Great neighborhood coffee shop and bar, where you can either order a coffee and work or order a beer and listen to live music (Fridays - Sundays) or play board games with friends. They have a few sandwiches and pastries on the menu but the food is definitely not the focus. I’ve been here a few times and the staff has always been very friendly!

    Fancy craft beer bar with a very solid selection of beers on tap. You know its fancy when everything is served in Teku glasses. Small beer fridge with some can/bottle selection is a nice plus but didnt end up looking through there much. Atmosphere is great - laid back and a decent amount of space. Backroom has comfy seating and the popcorn machine is great plus.

  • Review 109 (2021-07-22 - Rating: 4)

    I love the idea of a coffee by day/ drinks by night kind of place. Great selections on the beer tap. (They have Finback!) And even though it’s crafts, they have nice cocktails too (rum Thai iced tea was such a simple yet so well executed idea.) This place gets really busy even on weekdays, and they have live music on Saturdays, plus trivia nights too and the winner gets some beer obviously! Fun place and the staff keeps it super chill and friendly.Why four stars? I’d love some more options with the food! Looking for dinner after is not fun!

  • Review 110 (2022-09-04 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 111 (2022-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    Literally the best and I dont take feedback on this opinion. Eddie, the Matts, Justin, Caroline, and everyone else here are all super inviting, and approachable, and the vibe is always laidback and chill. You can come in here to pregame or hang out with your laptop and get work done, even into the evenings. The rotating taps are updated frequently. This neighborhood is lucky to have a place like this!

    Awesome place to try out a variety of beers. Theyve already earned top marks for having Pilsner Urquell as their go-to beer. :) Also they have excellent coffee. The food choices are a hit or miss.

    Friendly crew, great local beers that change often. And live music!

  • Review 115 (2020-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    I’m so proud to call ‘Greats of craft’ my personal cornerstone. Joel the owner who is the nicest person you’ll ever meet had turned his joint into the friendliest perfect neighborhood hangout place for us all. They make the best vanilla cappuccino to serving you with a good selection of beers. The crew (Brandon, Nick and Mickey) is amazing. They’re personable, uplifting and their happy greetings never failed to warm your heart! Just want to shout out to The barista Brandon who always make my Monday morning brighter! Love GOC and promised that you’ll fit right in at GOC!

    A wonderful neighborhood bar that has the friendliest staff, great coffee, and an amazing selection of beer (cans and on tap) and cocktails. I cannot express how kind everyone is, including and especially the owner. Live music on the weekends gives it an extra special touch. They truly care about their customers, which is why I will definitely return. Check this place out if you’re in the neighborhood!

    1st time here, we were in the city and decided to stop in. Its a cute place, kinda small. They have a bar area and another in the back with more seating and games. The beers were good, i would recommend.

    Amazing craft beer spot! Great atmosphere, great selection, clean, friendly staff, reasonable prices. The neighborhood go to for sure. If you like City Hops or Milk and Hops, you will love Greats of Craft. They also do pizza from Sofias. They have a back room with a nice ambiance and free popcorn! In addition to beer they also have hard liquor and coffee.

  • Review 119 (2022-01-23 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent service, great outdoor seating option, and impressive selection of beers and ciders. Will definitely be returning as its right in the neighborhood, and cant wait to take friends, family, and clients once everything calms down a bit with the pandemic. Masks arent super popular indoors (as people are enjoying their beverages) and the space is cramped if you choose to sit inside, so be cautious if youre nervous about Covid and stick to the outdoor seating if you would like the option to socially distance.

    A truly amazing spot for craft beer or coffee. Friendly service and a great place to meet up in the neighborhood. Highly recommended!

    Love the Greats of Craft! The beers are always interesting and love that even now they’ll give you tasters of what you’re interested in before getting a pint. I have only had beers on tap there but their takeout /can selection is also amazing from the looks of it! Lots of evil twin / Mikeller which gets my vote :)

    Always great and friendly service. Cappuccino was good. They should have fresh and better breakfast items though. Pizza is good. Nice outdoor seating and great ambience. Great indoor seating too.

  • Review 124 (2021-03-28 - Rating: 5)

    One of my favorite places in the city to visit. The staff is awesome, their rotating beer selection is one of the best I have come across around the country. If you want to try some amazing local brews, this is a place to start.

  • Review 125 (2019-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    Great addition to the neighborhood. Nothing like it around. Amazing beer selection + they have wine and spirits too if you get beer-ed out. It is not cheap but great beers rarely are and the atmosphere is worth the extra $. Back TV lounge looks like a great spot to catch a game while enjoying good local beers.

  • Review 126 (2022-05-17 - Rating: 5)

    A great neighborhood bar to grab a beer or a cocktail. The bartenders are really nice and the people are too!

  • Review 127 (2021-11-03 - Rating: 4)

    A little pricy compared to some other craft beer carry outs, which is somewhat offset with a loyalty program.If you sit at the bar, the staff is fun and friendly. There is a strong sense of community, most customers are regulars.The venue serves food and youre welcome to bring in takeout or delivery.Pro Tip: Marinara Mozz Sticks with a double IPA ::chef kiss::

  • Review 128 (2021-02-20 - Rating: 5)

    This place is the BEST!! They have the most delicious egg sandwiches (with hot sauce) on the weekends and the staff is always so friendly and wonderful (get to know Brandon, he’s great). We’ve made it our Saturday tradition bc it’s the best way to start the day. Pro tip - get the coffee (which is already) delicious and put a little bit of “mr black” in it for a little kick. Or you can never go wrong with their wide selection of beers any night of the week. Love this place! Best of the best!

  • Review 129 (2022-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    Consistently impressive beer selection, constantly rotating and VERY well curated. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Trivia is a bonus on Tuesdays!

  • Review 130 (2019-06-25 - Rating: 5)

    This place is such a great addition to the neighborhood! It’s spacious and bright inside, really comfy for hanging out with a group. Their selection of beers is insane. They had a ton of stuff I had never tried before, and they sell half pours so I was able to try more variety! They also sell beer to go, I stocked up before leaving. This will be my new go-to spot.

  • Review 131 (2021-09-10 - Rating: 4)

    Its a really welcome addition to the neighbourhood. Good atmosphere, and drinks selection.I would say, that the pricing is whats a bit of a turn off - $7.50 for an iced oat latte? $8 for a drip coffee and pastry?

    Great addition to craft beer scene in Midtown East. A couple of fridge in the back of the store, full with great selections. Theres also a nice lounge in the back with couches and TV. The marble bar and draft lines look beautiful, with great selections (at the time of visit, there were J. Wakefield IPA, a couple of Finbacks, various types of beers). Will definitely come back.

  • Review 135 (2021-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    Honestly hate to review this place because I dont want it to be discovered. Arguably the best and coolest beer bar on the east side. Super mellow and chill group of folks and great cafe vibe.

    Maintaining the atmosphere of a formerly French boulangerie café, this bar has 30 CBs mainly from NYS but also from other states and Germany. Comfortable indoor and outdoor seats. Located in midtown but relatively quiet area.

    TEAM GOC! Greats of Craft is the greatest spot on the block, if not all of NYC. Ive been bouncing around coffee shops for years and this place takes the cake!The coffee is GREAT.The people are GREAT.And the energy is electric!Not only do they have the best cup of cold brew, they also have a delicious selection of freshly baked sones and croissants.(5 star Raisin Scone)They double up as an awesome bar with an ever-changing selection of local craft brews. They also have a gift shop where you can buy wonderful items and gifts (again, all local!)The morning is always buzzing with positive energy, and its great spot to grab a beer after work, hang out with a friend or two, or blow off some steam. Plus, its surrounded by pizza places. Pizza and beer? Cant go wrong.Lets talk the EPIC pros:-great outside seating area, theres an open window seating area as well as street seating, complete with umbrellas! (rain or shine, you can come hang!)-wonderful community of regulars, everyone feels more like family-great staff:Brandon will brighten your day, know your name, and your coffee order!Joe (the owner) is always smiling and takes the time to get to know each and every one of his patrons. He truly cares and it shows!There are no cons.Stop in, grab a coffee, a brew or a shop the selection of beers/local items.It will be the best decision you ever made!

    Great selection, craft beers of every kind. You can drink what you buy in house, but its a lot cheaper to get them to go.Place gets pretty packed at night on weekends, and the cash register becomes a bottleneck.
