Micro Brew in Mid Town

[gdiego]

We will be arriving in March for a couple of nights and staying at the Roosevelt Hotel. Where can I find a pub with an extensive selection of micro brews on draft?

Thanks

"Micro brew". Haven't heard that one in a while. I think most places have migrated to the term "craft beer". Anyway, not sure what's good craft beerwise in the 40s-50s, but a bit further south into the 30's are two of the best places in the city:

Gingerman-

Rattle N' Hum-

agree with rattle n' hum. gingerman is good but usually too crowded to enjoy.

pony bar is also great.

3rd rattle n' hum.

Just beware that it too can get crowded. Not as bad as Gingerman, but after work rush hour can be a little tight there due to proximity to Penn Station.

Not sure if you'd call it a pub, but a new spot with a good though modest selection (frequently rotates selections) is Pony Bar, at 45th on 10th. A bit of a walk but perhaps a good stop after dinner on 9th ave.

Highly second Pony Bar. Don't be deterred by its 10th Ave location, it's a terrific spot.

The best for you and your location is Rattle N Hum on 33rd between 5th and Madison. Great selection of local and national craft brews as well as 3 or so cask ales on tap.

Gingerman is another option though their selection is not as good and I personally don't like their crowd.

Local beers-Anything Captain Lawrence, most Sixpoint and Brooklyn of course. Some limited Chelsea offerings are good as are some Bluepoint ones.

The Pony bar is good but not close to your convenient to your hotel

Stag's Head on 51st and 2nd Ave serves craft beers.
