"From the outside, this place looks the sort of place that’s been open since the 70s where you can eat free peanuts and watch a bar fight. But it isn’t actually like that. It might not be the fanciest place in the East Village, but D.B.A. does have a surprisingly large craft beer selection as well as an excellent backyard. Plus, they open at noon seven days a week. So the backyard is a good place to hide if you decide to leave work early on account of your not wanting to be there." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren
