Best Beer Bars in Upper West Side (2026)

“We'd love to host your next event or gathering.”

“JUST A SHORT WALK FROM THE 1/2/3, B, & C TRAINS!”

“Management reserves the right to all seating arrangements - due to high demand and limited seating, we cannot guarantee specific table requests. All reservations are for dining, not just drinking. We can accommodate groups for just drinks on a walk-in basis, however priority will be given to those looking to enjoy a full meal. Walk-in's are always welcome! We set aside bar seats and a few tables for guests who have not reserved ahead. You may cancel a reservation without penalty anytime up to 24 hours in advance of your reservation time. No-shows and cancellations with less than 24 hour notice will incur a $25 per person fee.”

“Happy hour is popular with reviewers.”

“Reservations taken for parties of 12+. Happy hour Monday to Friday until 6 pm: $3 10 oz. drafts of Guinness, Garage Beer, and select rotating drafts and $8 well drink. Pinball machines take quarters, dollar bills, or payment by app. Kids welcome with parent or guardian but bar is 21+ after 9 PM. Covered porch with floor-to-ceiling windows at street level.”

“Bring quarters for pool tables and keep it simple with a bottle or pint beer”
