Description

A more apt moniker for this Hell's Kitchen beer haven would be the House of Bottles. Skip the tap here and go straight for the bottled IPAs (India Pale Ales): the intensely bitter but refreshing Stone Ruination IPA, the silky mutt Lagunitas IPA (it's brewed with 43 different hops and 65 different malts), or the American darling Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, for example. Within the bar's amber interior of bottle-lined shelves and keg-style taps, you can enjoy these beverages alongside the neighborhood's nomadic bar-hoppers. You know you've ordered right when one of them coolly whispers, "Good choice," as though you just scored a phone number.
