"In 2018, three HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) grads and craft beer lovers opened this cozy beer bar in a Harlem storefront with a twinkling backyard. Longtime neighborhood denizens, young professionals meeting for happy hours, and craft beer pilgrims from all five boroughs convene to drink from any of sixteen taps that offer everything from IPAs to pilsners to sours and beyond, with a focus on beers made by Black and POC brewers. There's also canned beers and ciders starting at $5 each, and a full bar for cocktails like the Uncle Nearest Old Fashioned, made with Uncle Nearest Tennessee Whiskey. The best menu items are the three bratwursts (one vegan), which are perfectly snappy and served on pretzel buns alongside handfuls of kettle chips." - Emily Saladino, Devra Ferst
