Craft Beer Bar around Madison Square Garden

Haymaker is stellar. Ginger man and Rattle N Hum are both within walking distance.

Check out anything from Other Half, Singlecut, Finback, LIC Beer Proect, Threes, Interboro, Sloop, Grimm, the list goes on. NY State is crushing it right now.

 

Hard to top Haymaker, gingerman, Rattle N Hum in midtown.

 

I was going to say Ginger Man, Cannibal is good too. not a terribly long walk from either.

 

Cannibal is super relaxed with very good food. They're on the higher end of prices, but this is Manhattan so whatevs

 

Eh. It's a cool looking spot, good selection, and great food if you're looking for some killer meat dishes. But the prices are obnoxious, even by NY standards.

 

You should venture out a little bit further out and reach proletariat and one mile house, still within 15-20 mins cab ride from 34th

 

Without starting a new thread, and hopefully not hijacking this one, anything good near Terminal 5? Going to see the Head and the Heart there Friday and my only other time time there we were rushed and found an average bar kind of a far walk away

 

Note that there are two Rattle N Hum locations, both pretty excellent. Rattle N Hum West is close to MSG so it's very convenient for some pre game/show beers.

 

"As Is" is on 50th and 10th (~10 minute walk) from Terminal 5. Their tap list usually looks great.

 

As is

 

Plugging here but WF Columbus Circle's taproom always has a solid list.

 

Haymaker and GingerMan. Both are top notch.

 

Regarding Rattle n Hum, they're both real close. They're both less than 5 minutes walking distance. Haymaker is really close though. I'd go there. You also have District Tap House which is a little bigger than both and has a big tap selection. Barcade isn't that far away either.

 

since lupolo opened i have done all my pre-gaming of msg there, great snacking food and varied pour sizes at the bar. then after the event all the places listed above
https://www.beermenus.com/places/20746-lupulo

 

I walk by that place quite often and it does look intriguing. I've stalked their beer menus page and noticed they have some interesting selections. Could be worth a look.

 

the beer list is always stuff i want to try and in the half teku size i can usually get through a couple in good "still have things to do" shape.
that being said they do a proper portuguese grilled chicken with piri piri (best i've had outside porto) and pour a decent sagres, so get a couple serious beers in, then treat half a chicken and fries like a stand up snack at the bar and smash it down with the appropriate lager. "if it grows together it goes together" is never more clear.
then go rock out, wrestle out, game out, whatever your msg du jour may be, i'll be there pre-ufc for sure
