    free popcorn and a sour beer
    Mandy N.

    wow I can't believe i just stumbled upon this place! had an hour to kill before a meeting and saw this cozy charming bar. A really well curated tap list with some well known and some lesser-known options (lots of grimm and other half but also port city and others). Craig the bartender was really friendly and helped me pick beers by letting me try a few things. He also makes a killer goat cheese and dog plate which was a perfect little snack to hold me over before a dinner meeting. I also liked that they offer a smaller size and a larger size for the beers...gives you an option to try more I love that they give free popcorn! I will for sure be back, would be great for a little happy hour or even a good place to stop with a book

    Cool unassuming bar with some bar seating and tables towards the back. Friday evening and only a few people inside, so easily got a seat and ordered. Drink menu is clearly displayed behind the bar. Nice craft options as well as several wines on tap. Order an Imperial IPA ($12) to start off - way pricier than most other craft beer bars, but at least it comes with some free popcorn. Beer is solid and the popcorn is a nice compliment. Got a Pilsener ($10) to finish off the night while enjoying the laid back atmosphere. Bartender knows her stuff and the place is great for a quiet Friday night. Prices are definitely on the higher end though, so don't think I'd stop by all too often.

    I stumbled upon Local as I was walking through Greenwich Village trying to kill some time before meeting my friends for dinner. The interior is very clean and there is a wide variety of draft beers offered. The price is decent, the beer is good, the bartender is friendly, and you get a complimentary bowl of popcorn with your beer (my fave part). The space is small and there is not much space to sit, but if you just want to chill with a glass of beer by yourself or with a friend, Local is def a good spot. I tried #6 on the menu and it was light and not too hoppy. Apparently #5 is the popular one on the menu. I'll try that one next time.

    A cute place but a horrible bartender who is miserable and nasty to her patron. She is the worst of bartender we have ever encountered

Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted by the manager and other staff to make sure I was all settled for my party, which I really appreciated. This space has a partnership with a pizza place up the street to order food but also provides flexibility to bring in your own food which a lot of places do not allow. They also allowed me to bring balloons and cake which many places also don't allow. I had around 40 people and there was plenty of space to sit down or stand. It wasn't too loud so I was able to have a conversation with friends while also enjoying the music. The music was great and we even stayed afterwards to enjoy the DJ and the vibes were still strong. If you're looking for a private space, this is the perfect spot for your party! My friends are still talking about how cool this space was and were very impressed!

After opening a number of successful bars in New York City, including Death & Company and Cienfuegos, DeRossi decided to open a new bar with a focus on rare, new, and unusual craft beer offerings. Originally opening in the St. Marks section of the East Village, Proletariat quickly earned a reputation for being one of the best craft beer bars in NYC. In June 2022, Proletariat moved to a new, larger space just two blocks away on East 7th Street. In addition to the excellent beer selection, the new location also features a kitchen that offers an array of plant-based dining options. I recently visited Proletariat while I was in the Village to see a concert. I arrived a few hours before the show so I could grab some beers and bites beforehand. Proletariat has been on my NYC craft beer bucket list for a while; they have an excellent reputation. There were maybe four other customers there when I arrived; I felt like I was entering a secret craft beer club. I really liked the wolf featured on the bar's logo. It was clearly a reference to the Latin botanical term for hops: "humulus lupulus", which roughly translates as "the little wolf that comes from the Earth". There were 20 impressive beers on draught during my visit. I decided to order a pour of The Drowned Lands Brewery's "Winnow" (Festbier). It was an excellent example of the style: light and malty. Afterwards, I went with a pour of Sante Adairius Rustic Ales' "The Sky and the Sea" (Blueberry Saison). This was a fantastic beer: nice and tart with delicious notes of blueberries. If you're looking for some great craft beer bars in NYC then add Proletariat to your list!
