Packed full on a saturday night but was able to get a seat by the counter. Tap selection seems vast, this time they had a Founders tap takeover (CBS tapped on the previous night had sadly finished already) so the list was mainly full of familiar beers, but seems like they usually have a varied top class selection. Definitely would go here again.

Solid spot on Delancey street. Great beer selection as well as terrific bartender. Solid tap lineup as well as many rarer bottles for purchase. Would go back!

Not a bad place at all to visit/try and up to each person's own tastes considering how many places there are in NYC. Went on a Friday night and it wasn't even that crowded so bar service was nice and quick as well as there were open seats. Food was real good if not a little expensive (which I'm convinced all food in NYC is extremely overpriced since I find most places charge good prices for beer compared to VA). The beer selection is not bad and found a few really good local beers; nothing outstanding or hidden gems on the beer menu but you'll find something you like so not a dud.

I've always had a great time in my visits. The tap list has always had (1) something I want to try, (2) something I've had, and want again, and (3) something for everyone. The summer pig roast was a blast, as was the sour event they had. The more I think about it, the more I realize it's one of my favorite beer bars around.

Excellent taplist here. Far too many good beers to choose from every time I'm in here and I get overwhelmed. You'll find lots of NY breweries represented and lots of beers you've been wanting to try. Come in planning to spend some money and drink a few beers. Trust me.
Prices are reasonable, samples are allowed, and the servers are pretty friendly and attentive.
The feel here is kind of divey, which will allow one to come here and drink quietly in peace.

What a great bar with an awesome selection of brews and phenomenal service! I didn't try any of the food but this place is worth stopping for sure. Nice bottles and cans.

Cool looking place that has a nice flow, but I was there for a Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout event when it was so packed that it was hard to move and the service was impossible to judge. I'll go back soon to see what's it like on a regular night as I've heard good things about this place.

This place is great. Located in the Bowery, had 30ish drafts on, great selection to choose from. Had hill farmstead IPAs, a bunch of sours, stouts, porters... Pretty much something for everyone. Megan was behind the bar and she was the nicest gal ever!

This place was pretty close to my hotel (I usually don't stay at hotels in NYC, but I was in town for a couple days, so there you go), and open late...very late actually, with the kitchen closing at midnight, and the bar closing at a whopping 4am! So I planned for a "late" dinner here after a show. Pretty basic neighborhood pub layout, with a double sided bar and a bunch of tables, including a good-sized dining area. Seemed like a bit of a "party crowd," but that's about right for this area, seemingly. The catch is: lots of good craft beer here!
Yes, a large taplist here, with lots of selections and very good diversity; something for everyone, just about. I had a Szech N Brett, and a Grimm Rainbow Dome, but also available were such items as Plead the 5th, Dieu du Ciel, and promises of Hill Farmstead on deck. And Westbrook Gose cans. Good stuff. Service was a little chaotic, but considering the busier crowd, not bad. I think my bartender was in training, but he seemed to be handling himself okay.
The food was pretty good as well. I was famished from literally not eating all day (long story), so the fried chicken club really hit the spot.
Sure, I'd recommend this spot. Certainly the best bar I've found in the ABC neighborhood, or whatever this area is considered, and possibly even the best bar I've been to downtown Manhattan, outside of the Blind Tiger, just going by beer selection alone.

Last stop of the day for me after Rattle N Hum and La Birreria was One Mile House, and it was my favorite of the three. Unique setup in which the bar seems like it has a mirror behind it, but really you are looking through to the other side. Excellent selection of about 30 beers on tap. I accidentally spilled part of my first beer, Bockor Cuvée Des Jacobins Rouge, on the bar. The bartender offered to refill my glass for no charge, but I felt bad and declined. Top notch service and a gesture I greatly appreciated. Next up, an Allagash Speciale Blonde Ale followed by Boulevard Harvest Dance. All beers were poured properly and served in appropriate glassware. Though it was mostly empty while I was there early on a Friday afternoon, I thoroughly enjoyed my time. A few people dropped in here and there and the conversations were great. After some great brews, it was time for a sobering walk to Prosperity Dumpling, and I was on my way.
One of the best tap lists in the city, great service, and a cool vibe. This place is a gem!

I was here once before, that night with B&B post Café Katja and that weird Asian fail cocktail place horrible. We were in the neighborhood, or the general area anyway, so this is the revisit with Handsome Ed on one of them days that he deviates off the run to points north Scranton. Something newish for me on Delancey, a weak armed stone’s throw from Bowery Ballroom…
The bar is a U shaped job, split between 2 rooms; wood laminate topped, panel base, & a piping foot rail, with seating for roughly a dozen and a half both sides ‘round on chairs. Barback is a fitted wood unit with a large center mirror. Wait, no, fuck, it is not a mirror; it looks clear through to the other side. I can tell ‘cause I’m looking at a guy there who isn’t me. There are cash registers back to back, so it seems like yes, but no. The inner side sides are mirrored, reflective of I don’t know what. Shelved booze on mirrored panels to both sides of the break. Cooler space below, and shelved wine, beer, booze, & glassware. Pewter mugs dangling along the top of the unit and dead soldiers lining above; hello Gumballhead. Walls painted in a reddish tone over wood framing below, and brick wall inners otherwise. Pressed tin sheet panel ceiling and white honeycombed tiled floorings with sporadic black tiles interjected.
The rear room on our side holds nearly a dozen tables, some shared on benches. Brick, framed mirrors, flat screens, and hey, a backyard space. Cut through bar for survivors to flee to the other side. A solo oval table to the rear, a big old cast iron wood stove looking thing, and a few raised roundies, too. And a trio of raised roundy 2 seat hightops as you move forward towards the bar. Cool framed old neighborhood prints from the 1920’s and the tap list on pieces displaying beers, origin, size, & ABV, opposite each other.
Copper topped wood box holds 20 taps on the bar, and another 20 taps on the other side, although some of them are duped. 30 taps in all. At my time of visit, there were 11 locals (Other Half Doug, Radiant Pig Junior, SingleCut Full Stack, Brooklyn Lager, Bronx Pale Ale, Rye Pale Ale & Black Pale Ale, Captain Lawrence Frost Monster & Brown Bird Brown Ale, Peekskill Simple Sour, Greenport Harbor Anti-Freeze), 7 regionals (Allagash White, Smuttynose IPA, Ommegang Hennepin, Victory Prima Pils, Troegs Mad Elf, DogFishHead Piercing Pils, Blue Mountain Long Winter’s Nap), 8 of someone else’s regionals (Founders Porter, Goose Island Bourbon County Barleywine, Bear Republic Racer 5, Lagunitas Brown Shugga’ & Sucks, Bruery 6 Geese-A-Laying & Rugbrod, Firestone Wookey Jack), and 4 imports (Kyritzer Mord Und Totschlag, Dollnitzer Ritterguts Gose, Houblon Chouffe, Guinness). I drank the Radiant Pig Junior (not too shabby) and the Other Half Doug; a tasty Black IPA (love).
There are people on the other side holding a bottle share. I was not invited, WTF? Do you not know who I am? I see you have Hill Farmstead Anna but your event is sadly lacking me. Do better next time. Food they do here, but we opted out, what with Katz’s being so close and all. The music here sucks. Don’t listen. Service existed, that is all, and no, they don’t do shortys. Good beer list though, and they do some kickin’ events.
