Possibly my favourite beer bar in NYC. The excellent selection of beers is a given. But the vibe is great and the service was perfect, love this place so so much.

Good selection of draught beer, knowledgeable friendly bar staff. (the single in the middle was a sample of a silly sour when I mentioned that my partner was a fan of the crazy stuff)

If you love craft beer, a chill vibe, AND the east village, then you'll love Proletariat! It's a very spacious place that provides a beer menu on the wall right when you walk in. They have seating but no wait staff so you'll have to order your drinks at the bar. The bartender was very knowledgeable and very friendly! If you want to have a nice conversation at a place that isn't too loud while enjoying a variety of beer, then I highly recommend Proletariat. I'll definitely return. 🍺

As of late 2022, located at a new address a few blocks from their original location. The new space is significantly larger than the old one, but they've manage to maintain the cozy vibe. Plenty of seats in the bar area plus a number of small tables. 20 rotating beers on draft, occasional bottle pours, plus a large well-curated selection of cans and bottles. They also have a kitchen cooking up plant-based versions of familiar bar food items.

My favourite beer bar for unique local craft and international pours. Great place to explore new beers in a cozy and friendly environment. Don’t just go for the beer though, their vegan menu has super tasty stuff like Shepards Pie and zucchini fries!

Nice selection of beers, pleasant staff and excellent food. The whole menu is vegetarian (vegan?), I am not vegetarian myself but liked the food very much. Cozy atmosphere. Recommended.

Been drinking here for years, and digging their new spot (a stones throw away from the frat bar known as McSorely's). Classing up 7th st (but really, I do dig a simple 'light beer' as well.) The food is vegan, but don't let it dissuade you. The Welsh Rarebit is damn tasty. Zucchini fries are good, but for the price I'd rather Bubble and Squeek. The waiter was helpful, courteous, and comped a beer after realizing he forgot my order. OH!!! They're testing a new popcorn recipe which (note to the owners) must go on the menu. Or offered for free. For real, salty snacks=I will order more beer. To which- $4 small pours should be staple everywhere.

We loved it! Great vibe. Nice bartender. Lots of people, and good music. Tons of draft beer options. So strange that this place doesn't have more reviews!

One of the best beer bars in the whole city. You won't find a better concentrated list of rare and obscure beer anywhere else! The location may be small but the staff are very knowledgeable and it's always a good time.

Great new vegan food option! Proletariat’s new space is nice with a wall between the bar and the tables to help keep the noise down. The rarebit was reeeaaallly yummy, so cheesy! Food was good overall and we will definitely be back to try the other options on the menu. Our only issues were that it was weirdly super cold inside and service was fairly slow for how few people were there when we were.

I liked this place, it wasn’t insanely crowded when we came in on a Saturday night which was a plus. The variety of artsy beers was fun and I went with a group and we all ordered different ones and were able to try each other’s. Damn some of them were really expensive though even for NYC standards! And echoing other reviews I wish we could’ve tasted a couple of them beforehand. For instance we ordered the sour beer and all hated it and that was $11 spent for no reason.
