Given the look of the place it wouldn't surprise me. Its kind of slick.Does anyone know if this is part of a chain? There's a pub in Austin called the Gingerman that pretty much meets the description given here.

What crowd is that??I'd also suggest the Gingerman on east 36th, which has a large rotating list of beers and a great space. But again you have to be mindful of the crowd that flocks to it.

Another leisurely afternoon nursing beers at David Copperfield's. I really like this place. Great beer selection, nice bartender, comfortable stools...bad clam chowder! That's the only food I've had there so far.
Anyway, on July 1/2/3 they're having a Beer and Oyster festival, which looks like it might be a lot of fun.
It's on York & 74th.

Finally made it to Spuyten Duyvil in Williamsburg. I have mixed feelings about the place. First off, I think I made it clear in another thread that I hate German beer. Lots of Germans and Belgians here. Surprisingly, not a lot of beers on tap. Maybe half a dozen? Now here's the major problem: the prices. I think the beers on tap were around $6+? I got a bottle of Scottish ale for friggin $8. How do those hipsters afford a drinking hobby?
The good news is that Spuyten is a really comfortable bar. Pleasing decor, free jukebox (with good music, even), friendly bartenders and an outside garden. I think they have meat and cheese plates available and have heard favorable things about the platters.
So I guess that yes, I would go back. A good place to enjoy a beer or two, but not if you're on a budget.

It is better to have beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear.

I wonder why they call it Spuyten Duyvil if it's in Williamsburg? Spuyten Duyvil is a stretch of water between Staten Island and New Jersey, isn't it?
