Stopped in on a Sunday, which I am told is their quiet night. Sat at the bar. They have a decent all you can eat mussels special on Sundays and Mondays for $20 and it comes with a Stella, we passed on ours. They had a decent tap list 10 or 12, and some standard but good bottles. Nothing much in large format. This is a decent place if you find yourself in the neighborhood, a bit on the pricey side. Food was above average, service with a smile and an attitude, clearly letting us know we were not regulars, but not a bad place.

Stopped in for a brew after a night class in the city. Place caught my eye from outside, I just prayed it wouldn’t be too overpriced for the location (between 6th and 7th). The prices werent outragous - but a little pricey. Majority of beers go for $7-10. Glassware seems pretty legit - seemed to have all the beers they offer. On Draft: Chimays, Marsedous 8, hoeG, Lindemans, Palm, Rodenbach Grand Cru, Karmeliet. (sp?)

Close to Times Square. A nice place, yet rather crowded and loud when I visited. Nice belgian-style beers, but not a huge selection.

Located adjacent to time square, the location couldn’t be any better, also being only blocks away from the station. The Duvel logo printed in the awning drew me and a buddy in. The place was dim-lit and loud, filled mostly with business men and attractive women. The place was packed for a wednesday light. I was impressed with there glasswear, having every appropriate glass for each brew, all of which were belgian or belgian-style, like Ommegang. There were several beers I wouldn’t exoect to see on tap, and was impressed to see so, including Triple Karmeliet. The bottle selectiion was nice, too, with Orval, Rodenbach Grand Cru and many more. The bartenders were nice and the wait staff was attractive and helpful. The food looked and smelled nice, appearing much better than your standard pub and grill crap, though I didn’t have the food so I won’t rate it. The walls were decorated with metal signs of all the brews they carry. I definitely be stopping by again after a show or something.

Wondered over here after finding a brewery a few doors down (not naming any names here) was closed at 9pm and was rather rude about it. Dimly lit with a relaxed atmosphere. Bartender was very friendly and helpful. Interesting taps with some good bottled also. Had Hennepin on tap also their house beer brewed by Ommegang, which was an interesting brew at 6% with nice flavors of coriander. Food smelled and looked good, so I threw it a 6. Found it cool that they had all the glasses to match the beer. Will be returning here next time in the city.

Long narrow place with a few taps and and several bottles. A lot of it is stuff that is fairly common, but the beer is well cared for and the bartender knew what he was talking about. Cool ambience though. Worth stopping in on the way to a show, but I wouldn’t make a whole night out of this place as the selection isn’t quite what it could be.

This is a place I’ve gone to about three times. I initially went in to have a Duvel, and discovered that they have several other Belgian brews on tap, including Stella Artois, and also serves Ommegang. The beers are served in the glass supplied by the brewer, and the glasses are rinsed with water before the pour. The bar is in front, with some tables in the rear. I believe they also serve food. The beer is excellent and the bartenders friendly and quite knowledgable. I enjoy this place and plan to visit it more often in the future.
