Danny Olson: Excellent beer selection, with a very knowledgable purveyor. Read more.
Chuck Connelly: By far the best beer selection in the neighborhood, outside patio is wonderful in the spring ( you can stay out their as late as you want now). The blue burger is epic, make sure you get Cajun fries.
Ronaldo Hidalgo: Great beer selection, knowledgable bartender, chicken and waffles are a must!
Paul C.: It's the new JRB! Come for the extensive beer list, stay for the best bartenders in NYC. Say hi to Derek when you're here.
Emily: A quiet place in the heart of the city with a good beer selection.
Ashley Alvarez: Despite being one of those hallway-type bars, it's surprisingly fun and has a great beer menu. If you can grab a table, why not given the area is starved for happy hour options

Jon Emmet: Honestly, a true beer oasis in Grand Central. They have a great staff that will help you navigate through their gigantic revolving beer selection. When I'm stumped, they always come through.
Charles Guerrero: Incredible beer selection for such a small place. Ask for recommendations.
Jeff Byrnes: The folks in here are super helpful, and have an impressively curated selection of beer & cider.
John C: Amazing beer selection, including beer on tap and beer cans for purchase to take home or drink at the bar. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Delicious coffee and pastries available in the morning too.
Brew Lately: Varied craft beer selection, a bit pricey though. Nice outdoor/indoor seating and a small market inside
Ethan Illfelder: Awesome selection, good prices, free popcorn, cool couch area in the back.

Jaycob Burns: If it's crowded on the first floor, try the 2nd. It's cozier anyways (but with less beer selection)
Tony Xerri: Came here for casual drinks. Lots of suits but infinitely better than the trash over at Turtle Bar or any of the other bro bars. Good beer selection and a great old fashioned. Well done.
Ross Katz: IF YOU KONW THE AREA...this is THE spot! It's the "Quinn-tessential" burger, atmosphere, service and vibe. It's NYC through and through. Come for Doug. Stay for the Burger...never leave!!

Christophe Van der Linden: My favorite in NY and they have Orval on the beer list!
Lori Luo: Take a seat in the restaurant to go for the four course prix fixe or tasting menu. You'll find that the Alsatian Dumplings, Baked Quail, and Soft-Poached Eggs are all executed to perfection.
