IPA.  Delish.
Tricia G.

Great service, atmosphere and beer. Almost afraid to post this because we want to keep this spot to ourselves. We had two of their wonderful IPAs, pretzels with mustard and Brat with mustard and cornichons. And Happy Hour too?!! What?!! Check it out. Run...don't walk...but leave some for us.

Great selection!
T. G.

Awesome spot! Perfect to stop by to try a new beer- the selection was pretty impressive. Pricing is fine too! I also tried a new THC seltzer since I'm not much of a drinker- again the selection was pretty decent. They also had non-alcoholic choices as well! We enjoyed hanging for a bit prior to dinner! They also offer free water and cups and bathrooms were kept clean!! Would recommend and stop in again!!

Great beer on tap, food is delicious & Ricky is the man with service! Had the brats with cornichon & pretzel bites with mustard...Yelp wants me to keep writing but it's a tap room with great beers & service, that's all you need to know, duh! No Brainer. Check it out. It's great!!

Light bulb!

If the thought of putting hops into a glass of milk and downing the thing makes you cringe, then you're not alone. I mean, when you walk into this uniquely different beer spot, no one will actually suggest this to you (unless there's some experimental brew that's currently the craze). Nay, what you'll find at Milk & Hops is plenty of satisfying suds and some items that definitely fall into dairy. I found this out firsthand when my girlfriend and one of my buddies visited my sister by her new digs down in Chelsea. Unbeknownst to my sibling, this place was almost right up the block from her apartment. It's a good thing I don't live near it because I'd be the Duke in a week! Why? Beer! Oh the beer. You see, Milk & Hops takes the concept/idea of wine and cheese and alters it by offering alcohol of the ale and lager variety. We walked into this small yet comfortable spot to find ten beers on tap. They were a nice array of styles all from craft breweries, several within the boroughs of NYC (Shout out to Finback and Grimm). My beer of choice hailed from a LIC location, Fifth Hammer (Royalty Racket DIPA) while my buddy also grabbed a NY brew from Peekskill Brewery (You Had to Be There Coffee Stout). If things stopped here, I'd probably still rate the place as awesome, but what makes M&H unique is the ability to grab a can from the multiple fridge doors and have them pop it open and pour it right there for you (the ladies chose this path). Beyond the taps, this can give you almost endless possibilities for drinkage. Plus, if you do happen to live nearby, they sell cans and bottles (and growlers for what's on tap) to go. It's like a beverage distributor that you can casually drink at! So, why 4 stars after such glory? Well, technically we only indulged in half of what Milk & Hops has to offer (no cheese consumption took place). I checked out what was available and definitely had interest, but no one else was really feeling cheesiness (or looking to buy a small piece of something that wasn't entirely cheap). The other tiny piece was the staff. Hey, nobody was really rude or unfriendly, but those that worked there seemed to be doing their own thing. For a place of bodacious beer variety, I guess I expected some slightly more outgoing individuals. But overall, this Milk & Hops is totally a beer haven of the Chelsea area (there's several other locations, FYI). By giving you terrific taps and an option to buy cans and bottles to drink there or later in the privacy of your abode, Milk & Hops has enough originality to rise above most bars. Throw in the opportunity for some interesting dairy as a sidekick and that should knock out any slight problems, making a final star totally possible (perhaps with future visits of the sister). So for now, join me in feeling safe knowing that your glass of milk will stay hop free when you're here (phew).

FLOATed over on a high from playing with our new pups to this super cute restaurant and bar and cheese/beer/wine shop (jack of all trades) for Tuesday trivia night after we heard they were famous for the grilled cheese sandwiches. With our expectations aFLOAT, we got the truffle, cheese, and pear grilled cheese sandwich and the cheese board; the pickle, bacon and ham Reuben cubano, and two sparkling waters. While we found the music a little loud to hear everyone on our team, both meals were good and service was friendly. 2.5 hrs FLOATed by as we ate, laughed, rattled our brains, and caught up. We came in 2nd, got a FLOAT-worthy (excuse the pun) prize and will definitely return.

I was excited to see that Milk & Hops had another location and that I was just two blocks away. I made sure to stop in for a drink. As you probably know, Milk and Hops and Astoria Bier & Cheese are serious about beer. This location is certainly no exception. I like the layout of this location. It is bigger and brighter and can handle bigger groups better than some of the other locations. I love how the beers on tap include lots of local beers. I tried two great Other Half beers on this given Saturday. (They're nice about samples, but only if you ask nicely, and the quantity will be itty bitty.) The fridges are packed full of some stuff you've seen elsewhere, but they definitely try to have some extra special stuff, like Bourbon County and Burial. I got a cool Danish beer and Burial can that were both extra special for later. Didn't eat, but I was definitely jonesing after their brunch items (see my pic). Good clean beer fun.

Cheese plate is a great deal here

If you are not a cheese and beer then I will have to rethink any future friendship with you! And that's FINAL.....ok I make a few exceptions. Cheese is a huge reason I can not go full vegan! It's my best friend. It comes in so many delicious tastes from salty, creamy, stinky, hard and woodsy! I mean I can't resist nor do I recommend you do. This is probably how people feel when I tell them I only eat seafood. Milk and Hops is one of go to spots in Chelsea. I come to Chelsea for art shows and sometimes all I want is a snack and a crafty beer. And sometimes that beer will be more than my snack. Yes, you heard me right!!! My crafty IPA was ten bones for a small glass but it packed a punch and it was an insane percentage! My cheese plate was super cheap as a three cheese tasting for $7. My beer was the Other Half "All Green Everything" aka my version of green juice! It's healthy right!? Bottom's up! Back to cheese, my cheeses were all very different and delicious and their names were all written on the platter. There was also two nice slices of baguette for each cheese and two little piles of dried fig. And I have to give the clientele a shout out. I was freezing and wet after a Standing Rock Exhibition Benefit and needed to warm up. I walked along the bar and it was packed. They all heard my personal disgruntle murmurs and quickly suggested squeezing me in! Sweet! If I'm solo or with two people, I want to sit at the bar. There's also fridges packed with tons of more beer options!! This place is a breath of fresh air in a very fancy neighborhood for everyone who enjoys the finer things in life but isn't a snob. And you have to come in and get selfies with the rad Caryn Cast art work from the roller skating, beer carrying hog to Kim Jong-Il creepy selfie in the bathroom! Hilarious! She also does the sign outside that ranges from Barb from Stranger Things to Bill Murray. The staff is always chill. And it was cool to meet a Brooklyn neighbor in the city. Mental Note: getting that pretzel next time!

A nice selection of foreign beers. They are a little expensive though. I've never tried the food; but the menu looks good.

Cheese Mecca and community space for foodies! Murray's has just about every type of cheese you…read morecould imagine--and they have their own cheese cave! They also have various meats, pastas, olives, pickled vegetables. Anything you'd need to make a cheese board. Though they also have pre-made boards for when you're in a pinch. They also have butters, oils, sauces, marinades. Fresh breads, honeys, chocolates, coffees and teas. They have cheesemongers throughout the store, just waiting to help you out and find your dream cheeses! They also have a snack counter/small cafe where you can try dishes made with their cheeses (like a Mac n cheese bar, grilled cheese, etc). Murray's also ships cheeses and products. And they have classes to teach you about cheese, wine, and charcuterie!

This class just did not need the standards of other classes I've gone to. The reason I gave this 3-stars is because what you get for $100 is just not worth the price, plus the final product was inedible. The class consists of giving you flour and eggs to make the pasta, then roll it (which was super rushed), a "cheese tasting" (three tiny portions of cheese with some pesto) and unlimited wine (sparking white and red). You then bring the pasta home to cook it (with the instructions to use a fork if you haven't had enough time to roll your dough, which some didn't). I made the pasta when I got home and it was completely inedible as was the person's I went with. The instructor was nice and the room is beautiful, which is why I added a few stars. They're also great about making sure that your wine is filled up. Overall, I would not recommend for this price, especially when the end product was a throwaway.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with nothing but warm hospitality. Our server was incredibly friendly and even asked if we had a show to get to so he could expedite our food. So considerate! The prix fixe was really good value - starter, main, desert AND a bottle of wine for $99! The salad was really tasty, I liked the warm walnuts and the figs added a nice contrast of texture and sweetness. Of the other items in the tasting board, I really enjoyed the Kashkaval cheese. We didn't opt for any add ons/fondue dippers with our fondue, so only had bread. While we did feel full at the end, next time I'd go for an add on for more variety. Highly recommend and can't emphasize the warm hospitality and great service enough.

I was craving fondue and there is a fondue spot that is participated in restaurant week! Talk about…read morescore! Unfortunately, the restaurant week lunch menu is not offered on Sunday. And because I was looking forward to fondue that day, we decided to go with the regular menu. The base fondue was $24/pp which I think was really reasonable. We ordered: ~ Cheddar & Cider fondue - Cheddar, cider, onion jam (the flavors really complimented well. The cider gave it a nice sweetness to the cheese. I can eat the cheese all day) The fondue was served in a cast iron pot and you get baguette for the dipping. You can pay more for additional add ons but we decided to just stick with the baguette. ~ Two Skewers Plate (Kofte Colorado lamb, herbs, spices & Chicken yogurt, red pepper, herbs, spices) Served with house-made harissa and tzatziki, and a choice of mushroom bulgur or squash caponata. ( We were informed if you don't like olives go with the mushroom bulgur, which we did). Initially I was worried the chicken skewers would be too dry ( as that is the case for a lot of places) but no, the chicken wasn't dry and it was well seasoned. I'm happy that I went. It's a cute little date spot to do fondue.

I don't think they actually milk the goats or wash the rinds, if that's what you're asking. Nor do they have a company retail shop as far as I know, at least not here. Nevertheless, I have had so much pleasure over the years their cheeses in my local shops and restaurants, now called Mitica (meaning "myth") here in the US, that I want to give them a shout-out here. What prompted this was a small sliver of Campo de Montalban I picked up from the "odds and ends" bin at Whole Foods, that happened to be perfectly paired with a bourbon-barrel aged heirloom cider I also bought there, it was a lot like the Spanish cheese Mancheco but more rounded for me with a little funkiness in addition to the nutty taste. Anyway, it was one of those peak cheese moments. Several other Mitica cheeses are on my go-to list, so all I can say is Thank You!!! FWIW they have started to import other mediterranean products like olive oil, chocolate, and so on, but are mostly known for cheese.
