The Pony Bar

Excellent beer selection at very cheap prices by NYC standards. Of course, that means the bar is often packed and really loud. Five stars for people who don't mind that.

Amazing beer selection. Very crowded weekend nights, but otherwise great

One of the best beer selections in the city. Always domestic craft beer. Food is also pretty good. The pulled pork sandwich is great. You can often find a rare beer on tap. It can get crowded, and it's not a huge place. Can also get sort of dark in the winter.

I guess if you live in NYC, you think this is a good bar because it's that hard for you to get out and see what's really out there in the micro-brew or craft brew scene. Four people were in the bar and the bartender still managed to be pretentious and too busy prepping for the evening rush to actually provide decent service and knew nothing about the beer. The cask ale was terrible and nowhere close to a proper temperature (it was too warm ~65-70 degrees). While I went on an apparent Founders theme (all but one tap was Founders) and they do make good beer, there is more to life than one beer company. I guess if you're a hipster who wants to think you know about the craft scene and want to feel like you're part of the hipster scene and feel good, I guess this is the spot for you. as for me, I'll hit up a proper pint somewhere else. Maybe I just went on a bad day.
