Focal Point Beer Co

Great taproom with unbelievable tacos next door. Large outdoor space with plenty of picnic tables. Great to get loud with friends or bring the kids!

 

Long Island City, NY, not far from the Koch bridge which connects to the east side on Manhattan. Located in an industrial area, not much parking available. Smaller room, with ample outside seating both in their front area, and on the "pedestrian mall" kinda area that the place is located at.

About 10 of their own brews on tap available for on site enjoyment or in crawlers to go. They also had 4 options in cans available to go...friendly guy behind the bar is always a plus! Fine beers, including a couple of stellar NEIPAs....well worth a visit.

 

Brewery at 43-63 11th St. Long Island City, NY.

Small space putting the 'micro' in microbrewery. Bar is short with less than a dozen stools. There are a half dozen small tables for smaller groups to converge. Seating expands dramatically in the warmer months with a biergarten out front, with a handful of picnic tables. There is also a wide alley/park out front with additional tables. Staff is friendly and helpful, a welcome occurance in NYC. Beer list is short, with 8 taps, but spans a quality array of styles. It's diverse despite the short list. It's small, but worth a visit if you're nearby.

 

Small store front tasting room with 12 seat bar opposite entry and counter seat along front window. 10 assorted beers on tap, the two I had were excellent. Friendly service.

Small place with big windows facing the street. Has about 14 stools. Service was great. Nice selection, mostly IPA’s but had 2 Saisons and 2 stouts. Worth a visit if in neighborhood.
