Editorial Review for Blind Tiger – by Katie Heffernan

In Short
There's not a spec of sawdust or a creak in the floorboards, but at this well-loved beer bar, it sure feels like there should be. Wood from a 19th century farmhouse was used for the ceiling beams, flooring and counter--all the better to soak up the suds from 28 colorful taps and two casks--and a large brick fireplace warms one side of the room. Along with the microbrews, a food menu is pored over by old friends of the original location and new inductees.

Insider Tips

Food Served

Use your brew to wash down sharable snacks like cheese plates or bigger bites including a pulled chicken sandwich and old school sourdough grilled cheese.

Know Before You Go

The impeccable draught list includes Dogfish Head, Heavy Weight and Southampton brews; there are dozens of bottles (including vintage beers) as well. Wine and coffee round out the beverages.

The Extras

One unobtrusive TV hangs in one corner of the bar--great for the solo regulars who've just stopped by for a pint.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Surprise, surprise! My boyfriend and I were wandering the neighborhood looking for somewhere cheap and quick to grab dinner and a drink. We stumbled on the Blind Tiger and I'm so glad we did. We snagged a hi-top table right away and settled in with a couple of beers. I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup and he had the olive tapenade. Both were delicious and really filling. My only complaint is that there's no table service for food- you have to order at the bar. Small price to pay, considering our tab was only $30! That is unheard of even in the furthest reaches of Brooklyn, where we live. All in all, highly recommended.

Pros: Cheap, amazing food, awesome drink selection

Cons: Dark, loud, no table service

4 Star Rating: Recommended
