Stanton Public

In Short – At this bi-level pub, an English beer engine (one of only a handful in the city) transfers brew from cask to tap. The device keeps the beer pure and 10 degrees warmer than usual, and shows the bar's devotion to the brew. As the night deepens, the scene transforms from after-work brewpub to hipster lounge, as artists gab on an enclosed porch that's decked out entirely in white. Downstairs, boozers discover a grittier nightlife, complete with two dartboards and a flat-screen TV. –

Editor's Tips

On the Menu:: On offer is a rotating hand-drawn cask ale, plus a long indie beer list in bottles and on tap such as Delirium Tremens and Chimay White.
The Extras:: On the heated porch, a projector screen often displays late-night artsy flicks. Best yet, the popcorn comes free.
When to Go:: Happy hour is a time to indulge. Get $2 off draught beers and $3 Bud Lites Mon-Sat 4am-8pm
Food Served:: Simple munchies such as Angus burgers, fries and mozzarella sticks are served until closing.

Great Scene and Beer Selection

by brett03 at Citysearch

This past saturday after dinner we decided to stop by stanton public after learning that they had a great outdoor area along with an excellent beer selection. The place was playing a great mix of music and had a nice crowd. The outdoor area was still covered but it still felt like we werent in the city. I would definitely come back again in the summer to enjoy some great outdoor drinking.

Pros: Music and Beer
Cons: none

ummm....my new les home

by SJPStar at Citysearch

went here last friday for the Dark Was The Night listening party to see The National, Blonde Redhead & Yeasayer DJ. it looks like a regular bar w/cool undertones, like the skateboard truck bag/coat hangers & of course awesome indie bands djing. One of the guys from Interpol hanging out. I checked them out on yelp first & saw that PB&J djed there, I don't get it since they're not big enough to have live bands, but it works. went there again on monday & was definitely a cool chill home-like atmosphere with a later crowd coming in. Weekdays are in a pleasant contrast to packed nights. I'm not a big beer drinker, but the selection was intense & I loved the Lagunits red, but stuck w/ pbrs after. I like the indie-scene, & they reject fratty b&t types!! Great staff that knows the music, a definite hidden gem in the les & now officially my hideout.

Pros: indie bands djing, chill scene, rejects fratty b&t types
Cons: a little tight, hard to find

hands down one of the best bars in nyc

by DyeYupster at Citysearch

been to this bar a million times and have never been dissapointed. I love the staff that seem to pretty much love working there & never turns down a shot (1 star). For those that don't know here's the inside scoop from someone who never cares to write reviews but this has finally earned one: Yes an impressive beer bar with cask ale & all that (1 star), but only regulars know the underbelly. A nice treat to have seen Peter Bjorn & John guest DJ there & get wasted with them, another time the guys from the Black Keys & Pete Yorn were drinking out back (2 stars) . indie label players like Beggar's Banquet, Rough trade, DFA records hang there to get banged up & listen to the DJs or seriously the best ipod playlist in town. Yea, the music is the main backdrop of this place & if you happen to see a fratty person hanging in the midsts of the hipsters, they're at the bar living their secret lives as music lovers & trying to break free of the cookie cutter. If you want an education in good music, this is the spot that won't get played out. btw, the bartender said that beggars banquet is doing a CMJ afterparty there with the Teenagers as one of the guest djs. Will I be there? yea. (10 stars)

Pros: good beer, cool staff, great music
Cons: needs to be bigger & more bathrooms

Good selection, dead happy hour, drab outdoors

by radamady at Citysearch

We showed up around 6 on a Friday and their courtyard was practically empty. The draft specials didn't apply to the ones we wanted to try, but full price was worth it. I hear that it got really busy around 10 or 11. Don't expect a sunset view or a lot of room to move when it gets busy. But I would go back for a nice craft beer experience.
