For beer connoisseurs and fans of the 1920s
4 Star Rating: Recommended

The beer list is awesome, and the owner/bartender knows his product. The decor has a very cool, 1920s speakeasy vibe. You even have to ring the buzzer to enter. It is reeeally super dark inside, and the music playing is mostly post-punk type stuff. If you stick around at prime party hour (Fri & Sat nights), the place fills up with 20-something, wannabe hipsters who yell and say "like" every other word. And call ahead if you are counting on a pretzel bread sandwich, because some days the bread guy doesn't deliver and there is no food--and the owner refuses to buy any other bread than the German pretzel bread which is imported from Germany. Go early if you want to have a seat and a conversation. Highly recommend the chocolate stout and the banana bread beer! The sour red beer pairs beautifully with the pretzel bread sandwiches.

Pros: Amazing beer list and sandwiches; throwback, speakeasy vibe

Cons: Expensive, inconsistent service and crowds

Editor's Review

Rarefied European beer in a brew-and-wine speakeasy inside a West Village cellar.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Food Served

To combat the high-strength Belgian ales, nab a pretzel-bread sandwich crammed with ham and camembert ($10), sided with chips and pickles.
