Hi All,

I'm off to New York at the weekend and I'm looking for any advice on good Bars, Brewpubs and Micros breweries to visit if I get the chance. I'm staying in Manhattan but may venture further afield.

cheers.

McSorley's is worth a visit.

I was there a few weeks ago. Here are a few places i enjoyed.

The Blind Tiger at 281 Bleecker Street - gets very busy in the evening but is a really nice spot all the same. Huge selection of beer including a few casks.

Mugs Alehouse - 125 Bedford Avenue. Sports on tv, most beers available in 20oz as well as 16oz. the Allswell diner across the road from here is very good too.

Barcade - 388 Union Ave - great selection, lots of aracde machines.

I've never been to NY but when I go, a visit to Tørst will be high on my list of things to do:

I thought the gingerman was really good, been a while since I was there though

Might be worth checking out the Brooklyn Brewery, think they do brewery tours and also have events on occasionally.

Special mention should be made for The Pony Bar[/url:k3vuz1px](s) because:
- They pour *only* American craft
- They have a digital menu board linked to the website/app that updates in real time -- what's on the site is *exactly* what's on tap.

You might want to look for Singlecut[/url:k3vuz1px], a new nanobrewery in Queens that's getting a lot of buzz.
