As Ive mentioned before, McSorleys is an awesome bar, but the craft beer lover is in for a treat, because theres 3 other fantastic beer bars next door! starting with the Burp Castle, wich again only focuses on a 10 tap rotating beer menu and nothing else. They have a great mix of Belgian beers and a few east coast breweries. Plus the entire bar is painted like how I want my bedroom to be painted. With a nice beer mural or three!
I tried a Pint of Allagash Curieux, a belgian triple ale style beer made by a Maine brewery. Interestingly its been aged in Jim Beam barrels. Quite a tasty drop. Next up the street was Standings bar, a sportsbar with a huge range of craft beers on tap and available in bottles. A flight (tasting tray) of 4 4oz servings cost a measily $10. Again we tried some great IPAs, Stone arrogant bastard and smuttynose IPA stood out as seriously decent drops. And who cant love a brewery with a name like smutty nose? lastly we went down stairs to a little bar called 43 something I cant seem to remember! This place was more like a cosy restaurant with the added bonus of a nice draft beer list. We indulged in another sampler tray of some more decent beers before leaving the area. If in New York this little street is worth checking out!
