Favorite bar in Hell’s Kitchen. They have struck a chic balance between intimacy, approachability. Perfect for close conversations during the week and fun dances on the weekends! And free popcorn?!?（＾◇＾）

The vibe in this bar is AMAZING and definitely because of the service. You walk in to a candlelit bar, a great playlist, and Mo- the most interesting, fun, bartender ever. She kept the drinks flowing, supplied accessories to add to the experience (we were celebrating a bride to be), and a never ending sing-along. Definitely a top notch experience. Drinks available wine, beer, and a delicious cider. There's also popcorn to snack on

We stayed just a block away from this bar on our trip to New York. My wife and I stumbled into it while looking for a place to grab some drinks. Very small, but a super cool atmosphere. This ia a beer and wine venue. The bartender was super fun and welcoming. We had a few drinks, played three rounds of bingo and had a blast.

Amazing vibes always. Never ceases to amaze that Mo can run the whole bar alone never missing a beat and still give the level of personal attention to every patron. Caution: you will lose your voice singing along to all your favorite songs.

Such an inviting location. Great music, great vibes, great drinks . Mo was phenomenal and made this such an awesome experience. She went above and beyond to help us celebrate our bride to be 💍! 1,000 % recommend

We loved the vibe at this place. Great music. Simple drink menu of wine & beer. Friendly folks at the bar. Everything was chill. Spectacular service from Mo & Tiffany. Raffle night was a blast ! Don't want to tell too many people about this place. Want to keep it cool & intimate.

My absolute FAVORITE bar in NYC. This is the type of place you go to meet people and sing your heart out. Not a piano bar, but might as well be. A place you can go to truly be yourself and enjoy your evening. No pretense, no bad attitudes, just fun. The bartenders are fantastic and incredibly kind. 100% would recommend.

As Is is a craft beer lover’s paradise. The tap list is always rotating with incredible selections had a rare Hill Farmstead IPA on my last visit that was perfection. Bartenders are super knowledgeable and happy to let you taste before committing. Cozy minimalist vibe, no TVs, just great conversation and beers. Chicken tenders were surprisingly elevated for bar food. Happy hour is a steal. My go-to spot in Hell’s Kitchen!

The Beer Hexe

Ah, one of my absolute favorite beer bars since they opened (oi nearly 10 years now already!). The bartenders and buds to the beer selection are always immaculate. Also being one of only a handful of joints in the city who have a Lukr is solid. I love reading “reviews” via *very not stupid* people whining about “no tastes!” (because a great beer bar is DEFINITELY an ice cream joint eh?) or “FOAM” (holy…); just because you know NOTHING about beer and are embarrassed of yourself, no need to come to the interweb to display and shriek about it💋. Also if you dig amaro, there’s always a slick selection as well. 🍻

They had an impressive beer collection, including gueuze Tilquin blend of old and young lambic beers and a delicious Brettanomyces beer on draft. To make it perfect, they serve their beers in tasting glasses, much appreciated as a Belgian living in the US.

Joshua Connelly

Best selection of craft beer on tap that I've found so far in Manhattan. Great cozy industrial vibe with lots of space. They make great cocktails as well.

Joanne Watson

We walked by it twice before seeing the door. We were super lucky that a Brooklyn brewery, Eckhart, was having an event. They brought in the best beer and food! The bar welcomed Ozzy.

George Candler

I tried two margaritas both were excellent and the wings were absolutely tasty, with the fries also hitting the mark. The vibe was relaxed and the music added a great touch to the experience. Although it was my first visit, I had a really fun time and can only imagine how lively it must get on the weekend. The atmosphere had an unusual but interesting feel to it, and I’m definitely planning to return.

Great beer, great environment, great staff. Wonderful selection of interesting options on tap. Only complaint is that they don’t even do samples. You’re rolling the dice on what you order if you’re exploring new taps. Usually wouldn’t mind but some of their options are on the expensive side.

Sheila Noye

Delicious food and the finest fish and chips in town! They offer an impressive variety of quality beers, all enjoyed in a laid-back, relaxed setting. It’s refreshing to have a place where you can chat comfortably without raising your voice. Highly recommended spot!

As Is NYC has become our reliable spot for quality beer in the neighborhood. Their hazy IPAs are consistently excellent. The space is welcoming, with outdoor seating for warmer months. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. A bonus: they offer small pours, perfect for sampling new brews. We'll definitely be back with friends and family.

Cool beer bar in Hell’s Kitchen. Found myself a dark spot with air conditioning on a hot day. Food was excellent too. Very pricey though. $12 for many of the beers. $5 happy hour (for $10 beers, which were a few). All the beers were good that I drank. I do wish they allowed tastings as I didn’t want to commit to a full pint of 8% blackberry hibiscus sour. But I did anyway. And it was great, not too blackberry-y.

Extensive selection of local and regional beers on tap! It was great to see something for everyone and not a single style [of beer] taking over. The staff was friendly and informative, and the food was generously portioned. I had the pulled pork sandwich which was nicely spiced with a very generous portion of pork. As for beers, I had a Hills Farmstead (out of Vermont) 'of first and last things' (IPA) before my meal, and a Drowned Lands (out of NY) Scythe (Forder fermented pumpkin beer). Great spot for someone who enjoys beers!

Really cute spot to go to for some drinks and snacks. All their drinks are premixed which was interesting, and the moscow mule was very tasty! I loved the decor also. Would love to go back and try some of their beers!

Marcus Reid

As Is can take all my money. Best NYC craft beer bar because you can try beers for $4-5 before committing to a full pour. I probably average 3-4 different beers per visit (follow me on Untappd: illfayze lol) They rotate their selection frequently, and Half-Off Cellar Sundays have led to some unexpected discoveries. Staff is super nice and helpful, providing recommendations and advice for the novice sipper or the craft enthusiast. Very quality date spot + casual hangout in Hell's Kitchen if you want craft beer without being locked into $10+ per pour!

Great beer bar in Hell’s Kitchen. Came across this by accident while visiting a friend and this was after I had searched for best craft beer bars in NYC and this wasn’t on anyone’s list (it should be!) loved the space and selection of beer. Food menu looked great as well but all we had was the pretzel which was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Jay Tooch

Great beer list. Excellent service. Really good food. I enjoyed the falafel pita and my wife said the BLT was the freshest tasting BLT she’s ever had.

Robert Jacoby

One of the best beer menus I’ve come across in NYC. I’ve been here a couple of times and the taps moves quickly (also a good variety of cans/bottles), which makes it all very fresh, but also allows for a new variety of brews every time you go. The menu is also very diverse—IPAs, stouts, sours, etc. Food is good—just what you need at a beer bar...small menu, nothing too fancy, but good quality. Bartenders know what they’re talking about—they are beer fans, not just pouring beer. They now how to pour the different types and they have a great glass selection. It’s easy to make a decent list of beers, but the service here takes it to the next level!

Cute spot great vibe! Candle-lit and dark. Wine & beer menu. The Sunshine IPA was super bitter though, and felt kind of expensive! ($11). Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Free popcorn is a nice touch. Cozy for sure! The height of the seats felt a little bit off with the high tables. Server had us clear the wrong bill which was not too big of a deal, but with only 4 or so customers, I think maybe that could be avoided in the future.

I’ve had really wonderful experiences here. The bar is small, and bartenders here generally make the occasion feel warm and community-oriented. It is jovial and silly and warm. The selection of beer and wine is also excellent, and the free popcorn is a cute touch. Recently, a friend and I were having beers and catching up here. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and she seemed to imply she wanted to take a shot with us. She did this a few times, and we agreed to. At the end of the night, however, we found she had charged us for each shot. We expressed some surprise. She sort of shrugged and said “we do this thing called upselling.” We paid, of course, but the experience felt underhanded and strange in retrospect. Something to keep an eye on! Otherwise, a charming gem in West Manhattan.

Fun little bar but tiny and super loud so plan to come here if you wanna drink and sing with your friends and not necessarily have a conversation of any kind!

Joshua Tedesco

There are a ton of beers. Not a great liqour selection. The staff make this place great though! Very attentive.

Prices in NYC drive me crazy, haha. $45 for 3 lagers (1 local and 2 from a different state) and 1 very small pale ale (basically a taster). That's before a tip. What's more important, the beers were good, although could be a tad colder imo

Daniel

Been here 3 times now over the past year. Ambience is nice: Modern Industrial and lively crowd. Many Beers on Tap and different pouring sizes. They do not let you try beers but have small 4oz Pour. First two experiences were 5/5 with friendly and attentive bartenders. My most recent experience was a bit off. Bartenders seemed a bit less enthusiastic and did not really get good energy from them. After first drink closed out and left.

Jordan Thompson

The cocktails are terrible. Premixed, weak, taste like they both contain IPA beer when they shouldn’t. Really dissatisfying. Service was basic and unappealing. The best part is the place it’s self as it looks nice. I’ve put 1 * for food as drinks isn’t an option. We didn’t eat. The pictures is of the papi chulo and a classic margarita. Do not recommend cocktails, hopefully their beer is good for those who like beer. $33 for bad cocktails is not worth it.
