    I just wanted to give tons of props to Gramercy Tavern in NYC. Went there for dinner Friday night, and they had Speedway Stout and Hill Farmstead What Is Enlightenment? on draft (as well as GI Sofie, GF Hop Head Red, and a few others). The food was also spectacular, as was the atmosphere. They quoted us an hour and half waiting time, and we were able to sit down in 20mins. Just an all-around amazing place to go.

    Great place, though it's been a couple of years since our last visit. Speaking of great Manhattan dining experiences, we had a great brunch at DBGB on Saturday.

    Agreed on Gramercy Tavern ... one of the early high end restaurants to have embraced the craft beer movement and their beer selection at a comparable level to the care given their wine list.

    They had Hill Farmstead?! I was there on Friday and didn't see that. I think it's my favorite NYC restaurant. Their beer cocktail, "Hop To It" (a mix of IPA, pine liquor, gin and something I can't recall) is delicious.

    Agreed on Gramercy Tavern. I had dinner with a couple friends there in May and everything was top notch. Didn't have any HF unfortunately but the cocktails and food were delicious. A fine establishment I hope to visit again.

    I went to Gramercy Tavern last month for the first time and it was top notch. It was my birthday weekend, so I took the day off from work and went for a late lunch. Got there around 2pm on a Friday and only had to wait about 10 mins for two seats to open up at the bar in the tavern area. One thing I really appreciated was that you could order half pints for $4 in addition to regular pints for $8. That way you can taste several different beers if you would like to. I tried my friend's "Hop To It" cocktail and it was delicious. Also shared mussels as an appetizer and had the meatball and they were both outstanding. Friendly service to boot. Great experience! Can't wait to make a return visit.
