    Great cross between a bar (it is) and a beer store (with a good selection in the fridges).Low-key but friendly crowd. Karaoke on some nights (fridays?) and reasonable prices, even Im alphabet city. Definitely worth a stop in.

  • Review 2 (2024-11-02 - Rating: 5)

    Only went here for beer but this was the second week of a Japanese style food menu offering sandos and grilled chicken. The food looked and smelled good and the people eating came in for seconds. Good selection of beers on tap and even more in the fridge to take away. Open late as well.

  • Review 3 (2018-03-29 - Rating: 5)

    Weeknight drinks (frequent). Best bar in the neighborhood. Never too crowded, really nice staff, amazing beer selection, and knockout cheese on offer (yes please, Shelburne Farms cheddar). They also always have really good sours and, for the really committed, they sometimes have Sip of Sunshine hidden in the fridge. Great place to chill out for an afternoon or evening. Also a decent place to work during the day.

    I was initially confused when I got a text from my big bro that read MY HOMIE STARTED AN ICE CREAM COMPANY THATS BLOWING UP AND SHES DOING A POPUP AT ABC BREWING. ITS ODE!Idk why he texts in all caps all the time, its kinda scary. Nonetheless, my innate curiosity got the best of me and I pulled up to get some ice cream in a Brewing Co.First off, this place is TIGHT. A huge projector playing an NFL preseason game, a slew of canned and bottle beers, a rustic interior, a beautiful back patio with a dart board, patrons locked in on laptops drinking quality craft beers from local breweries, etc.Second off, THAT ICE CREAM WAS SO DAMN GOOD. Shoutout to Betty Jos Ice Cream. That Sweet Cherry Pie flavor might have been my favorite ice cream Ive had all year, and I dont even like Cherry Pie lol. Betty Jo not messing around.It all came together when I found out they were running a deal that if you bought a beer, you got a free scoop of vanilla ice cream to make a float. I didn’t get one because I’m really shy, but it looked really good.I should have known, my big bros recs dont miss. THANK U ABC BREWING THANK U BETTY JOS!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov_reviews

    Lovely craft beer place in the East Village. Good selection of various breweries, cozy atmosphere, and a lovely back patio. Was able to charge my phone while sitting outside.

  • Review 6 (2018-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    This is an outstanding place to drink beer. The business is well-run, with knowledgeable bartenders who treat people nicely; with well-stocked coolers full of diverse beers, cheeses, and meats for take-away; and comfortable seats for all sizes of parties. I like coming here.The staff know their beer, not only the beer that they currently have on tap and in the coolers, but beer generally. They also know how to put together a tasty charcuterie, and the generous size of their cheese and meat (and bread, and pickle) plates speaks to their generous spirit.The shop also organizes exciting in-store events such as tastings; and off-site shenanigans such as booze cruises.

  • Review 7 (2019-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    Small beer bar and bottle shop serving cheese and charcuterie platters, sandwiches and a few other bar snacks. Twelve (most of them rotating) beers on draft served in two sizes. Plenty of cold cans and bottles to go. Grab a seat by the bar, at the giant communal table, or in an old arm chair. Decent selection of board games, and a big screen for the sports fans. Dog friendly.

    Awesome selection of beers and comfy, cozy setting. It was great if you want to chill and talk, but not sure if it is always like that.Love the huuuuuge communal table in the back. However, the arm chairs were way more comfortable. Cool art in bathroom.

    Not unlike a dungeon. Would you rather be at a frat bar right now? Everyone is at the beach. Wait, no. I ordered the pigs in a blanket. Rabid dog in the backyard, dont get too close

    An East Village staple, ABC has an amazing beer selection and a some good wine and NA options for the non-beer drinkers

  • Review 14 (2016-08-22 - Rating: 5)

    Always a good place to find both local beer as well as great beet in general. Theres always a cider option on tap if thats what youre interested in.

  • Review 15 (2024-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    Love the atmosphere and vibe in this place. Great selection of beers and a rotating list of pop ups that offer food daily. When we went it was greek food which was really good. They also have karaoke which was fun.

  • Review 16 (2024-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    My only complaint about this place is that they dont consistently have Orval in stock. But when they dont, at least they have a decent selection of other Belgium beers (to go).

  • Review 17 (2024-09-25 - Rating: 5)

    Cool little spot. I love these places where you can peruse the beer fridge on your own. Very very chill.

  • Review 18 (2017-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    Very cozy spot, came here for a friends get together and it definitely didnt disappoint. The bar tenders were very cool about everything and definitely helped to leave a lasting impression with my connection with this place. If you want great craft beers, this is your bar. If you are looking for a good bite to eat, I recommend you trying a different place because theres literally only beer here 😂

  • Review 19 (2018-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    Really cool spot in the East Village with a nice selection of craft beers. Rotating craft beers are also on tap, and are always very good. The atmosphere is very nice and the lounge has both a large bench for a group and large, very comfortable arm chairs for one-on-one conversations. Highly recommend.

  • Review 20 (2019-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place! My favorite bar in Alphabet City! We go as often as possible. Since our apt is only 230 steps away according to Google, we are there on a regular basis. Really good selection of beer on tap. They fill growlers and sell beer by the can and bottle to go. Good bar food, we like the Nachos and the pretzel party. No outside food allowed except from the restaurant next door, which has really good mac and cheese.If youre in the area on the last Sunday of the month dont miss the opportunity to have a beer with a scientist, a monthly event they host.

  • Review 21 (2018-08-17 - Rating: 5)

    Great selection of craft beers on tap and bottled beers for take away. Food menu is basic but good. I will absolutely come back

  • Review 22 (2018-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    This place is a mullet: Business in the front, party in the back. Dont be deceived by its 7/11 facade. The place opens up to become a swank, dank leather bound lounge. Its got beers youve never heard of so make sure you try them all. Sober up with some fine cheese and bread or the classiest nachos youve ever tasted. These guys are fans of quality.

  • Review 23 (2024-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great selection of non-alcoholic beers and wonderful cozy ambiance.

  • Review 24 (2018-05-24 - Rating: 4)

    Casual cozy vibe with great beers on tap. Friendly spot. Its a smaller place so there isnt a whole lot of seating, so in peak hours it can be standing room. But a beautiful wood hall table and eclectic armchairs available if you can grab them.

  • Review 25 (2021-08-02 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome selection of beers. Their salad is delicious. The ramen soup is very heavy.

  • Review 27 (2020-01-18 - Rating: 5)

    Solid beer selection. Great service and variety of light food offerings. Mixed type of crowd from casual to the serious beer consumer, everyone welcome. Families with kids too, without feeling chaotic. Highly recommend!

  • Review 28 (2024-11-27 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent selection of local and Northeast beers

  • Review 29 (2013-04-29 - Rating: 4)

    This one is very, very similar to the Good Beer Store on 9th St, but has extra points with their fantastic layout. The space is inviting and has cool (huge) leather chairs, which look like they belong in a man-cave. Plus, a communal wooden picnic table/bench set-up in the middle of it all. Great feel but they currently only serve the beers on draft and have about 3 fridges of bottles for take home.

  • Review 30 (2015-02-22 - Rating: 4)

    A great selection of eclectic brews on tap. Also has a broader set of bottles to complement whats on draft -- including a few good sours.Laid back atmosphere with a long communal wooden table and comfy arm chairs in the back.

    Selection 5 starAbility to ship me some of New York’s finest brews. 5 starSubstituting a beer on my order for one that I could have ordered but did not (lower global rated on untapped) without so much as a quick FYI... 0 stars for service.Shipping on time as promised. 5 starOverall really glad to find you but subbing stuff is not cool.

  • Review 33 (2013-06-15 - Rating: 4)

    Nice new beer store / bar in a part of town not yet fully gentrified. they have a frequently rotating list of drafts (which you can also get to go in a growler), plus about 50 kinds of craft beer in bottles. there is a small selection of cheeses and some bar food to go with your drinks, and some eminently comfortable seating. plus they are open late.

    Amazing beer selection in a relaxing environment.

  • Review 36 (2016-09-02 - Rating: 4)

    Good bottle selection - if only you could drink it there. However, good tap selection too, so cant complain too much. The service is good, but a bit aloof. The food choices are pretty standard - e.g. a good but skimpy cheese plate.

  • Review 37 (2017-05-21 - Rating: 4)

    Excellent selection of craft beers. Create your own six pack to go or sit down and enjoy the beers on tap. Smaller seating area in the back with games (cards, Jenna, etc.) to play and a large projector for sporting events.

  • Review 38 (2019-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    Steven the Bartender was awesome! So nice, SO hospitable. Beautiful bar, such a great atmosphere and courteous, friendly staff. Interesting and delicious brews on tap also!

  • Review 39 (2013-03-28 - Rating: 5)

    Spent all day on a Sunday here. They have a big screen for sports games, but the vibe is relaxed and low-key. Cheesemonger will give you recommendations to follow and then the bartender will pair with a great beer!

  • Review 40 (2019-04-06 - Rating: 5)

    Always a good spot to go to after work. They have a fantastic selection of beer from sours to IPAS to porters. This place also has a section for bottled and canned beers to buy and bring home which is always a plus.

  • Review 41 (2019-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere (super chill), great staff and a well thought out assortment of local craft brews on tap and to take home. Definitely recommend dropping in for a pint if you’re in the area!

  • Review 42 (2024-06-08 - Rating: 4)

    ABC Beer Co. is a great beer place if you want a cold one on a hot day. They boast a selection ranging from pilsners to sours, wheat beers and porters. They also have cans and bottles, food and snacks like popcorn and bites in bags. But the beer is why you come here: I can’t tell you the current selection. You’ll just have to visit.

  • Review 43 (2017-11-27 - Rating: 5)

    This is a nice little spot with a good beer selection (they had 8-9 on tap when I was there, all things I never heard of before) and a comfortable atmosphere (one big communal table, a few smaller seating areas, a sofa, etc.). Would recommend for a chill get together.

    This place is great. Relaxed. Chill. Reasonably priced. They do a really good job of having a good variety and not just having a giant list of IPAs. Had the grilled cheese and spicy beer cheese sandwich. The latter was really tasty. The real gem here is their growler fills. They are actually priced like they should be!

    Excellent rotating draft list, board games, cheese boards, soft pretzels, etc—ABC Beer Co has it all. The friendly staff takes the comfortable chairs and communal seating and makes it feel like your living room. Theyll let you sample beers before buying and are great for a chat at the bar. After talking to them, head to the main table, and youll likely make friends with some strangers over Jenga or just good beer.The kitchen does turn off around 10, but theyre always fine with outside food. Bobwhites is right next door and has a chicken sandwich youre going to want to try.

    The Alphabet City Brunette draft was delicious! I havent tried their food but there looks to be a great selection of meat and cheese. Its smelled so good when we were leaving. Great outdoor back porch space too and tons of places to sit throughout.

    Great rotating taps. Mellow fun place.

  • Review 121 (2014-11-21 - Rating: 5)

    This place is pretty awesome - especially on a cold night strolling through Alphabet City - way out - and needing some great drinks, good food and a laid-back staff and atmosphere.They definitely have some off-the-beaten-path beers on tap here, and the bartenders are willing to let you sample whatever you like. They seem to have a lot of Ommegang varieties on tap, and frankly Im not complaining.The vibe is also very chill, lots of leather furniture and a big, long communal table where you can chill and meet others.Overall, definitely coming back here as they unveil new tapped beers.

    Excellent selection of local craft beer at fair prices. Decent size area to sit and lounge. Staff are decent, and their music taste is killer. Location is a bit out of the way which keeps the crowds down.

  • Review 126 (2018-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    Quaint beer shop that is both a shop selling bottled beers to take home and a bar. Seating is limited. The bar runs a rotating tap of local brews. Great prices and atmosphere that warrants multiple visits

    Chill spot to grab a beer. Ambiance was perfect and the selection is incredible. Def would go back.

    We used to live 2 blocks away from this place. Lovely environment with load of beer to choose from. They do get very crowded during weekends night and you will barely get place to stand, but otherwise great place for beer

    Very good beer selection, duh. Great for drinking there when you can, or picking up some stock for home.

  • Review 136 (2014-01-26 - Rating: 5)

    Bartenders are extremely friendly and helpful. The cheese and meat plate is exceptional. You can also buy a growler and bring some draft beers home. The overall atmosphere is nice and chill.

  • Review 137 (2014-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    This place brews some of their own beers. I liked their easy blonde. They also have a pretty nice set of bottles, though not quite as many as Good Beer or Beer Culture. I love the giant table and the recliners, and the bit of outdoor seating can be nice too.

  • Review 138 (2021-03-17 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome beer selection, great staff! Outdoor seating with heaters if its chilly.

  • Review 139 (2018-04-01 - Rating: 5)

    Knowledgable staff. Beers & wines rotate quickly. Meat & cheese platters, all beer/wine compatible. Gigantic beer retail front of shop. Craft beers here nobody matches, including the Vermont brews.

    Decent craft beer selection. Crusty baguettes, just ask to get todays batch. I wish the beers were in some kind of order.

  • Review 142 (2018-06-08 - Rating: 5)

    Not to be confused with the Alphabet City Brewery, but they do have their 7th Street Blonde Ale on tap for $6! The service was great, they had very tasty toasted cheese sandwiches and the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed. Definitely coming back! (Plenty of craft beers available to purchase to go too!)

  • Review 143 (2015-05-27 - Rating: 5)

    Great beer selection, both in the bottles for sale up front and on draft at the bar. If youre there around meal time, grab the grilled cheese or the pickle plate. Both are great!

    Lively and friendly bar keeper, sports on a projector, solid beer selection. All things I like!

  • Review 147 (2017-07-07 - Rating: 4)

    A bit of a walk to get all the way to avenue C but your journey will be well worth it when you walk into a neighborhood beer shop / bar with fantastic bartenders and a really good choice of beers to choose from.Id suggest relaxing with a drink in one of the various chairs theyve got setup for you to chill in what reminds me of someones living room. Or just pick up something from the healthy selection of beer you can buy up front.The bartenders are pretty geekish in their knowledge about beer. Be sure to ask questions!

    Get a beer and eat those biscuits next door. Match in heaven

  • Review 149 (2015-08-25 - Rating: 4)

    Very cool and cozy bar setup with great craft beer. The front half of the store is a beer store with bottles and cans in the refrigerators, and the back half is a very chill bar with excellent beer. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the beer, though they recommended an IPA to someone who was looking for something like Blue Moon which was unconscionable. The couches, huge communal table, and variety of games like Jenga and Guess Who make it very homey and a great place to spend a day though it is super dark inside. Go for the nitro wit when they have it as t was delicious.

    I went on Valentines Day in 2015 and my buddy was in a tailspin about not having a date and punched out the bathroom light bulb. I felt terrible about it but the staff was really cool and we still ate lots of manchego cheese that night.

    Half bar, half store, this place has a good selection of craft beers on tap and many more in bottles. They also refill growlers and brew their own beer. Only downside is that seating is limited and it can get crowded.

    Great taproom. They have a wide selection of drinks on tap (not just beers!), a knowledgeable staff and plenty of space, especially for the LES/Alphabet City. Went out of my way to try it and will likely go out of my way to go back.

    Cozy spot with excellent beer variety and great bartenders. A cheese platter with a candle added for my friends birthday was way better than a slice of cake.

  • Review 174 (2013-12-05 - Rating: 4)

    Great place for beer ESPECIALLY if you missed Octoberfest or you just couldnt stand to wait in line to get into Octoberfest from across the street. The space is pretty wide including a back area and a back, back area leading to the porch that is quite mosquito infested. Im sure it isnt in the winter time and ownership is rectifying this for next Summer. Giant projector screen that is normally tuned to sports can be tuned to whatever the mood strikes but youd have to ask the bartender to do it for you. Excellent beer on tap and I believe that they have a rotating schedule. They do serve food here. *** No frosted mugs so dont ask. No ice cubes either. *** Good beer spot to come to.
