British-influenced vegan dishes & rare craft beers in a cozy bar
"Proletariat is for the beer lovers out there and a good spot to come after a long day of work. Their focus on ‘rare, new, and unusual beer’ makes it fun to try something different that you’ve probably never heard of. Overall, it’s a chill spot to hang out. Plus, they take credit cards!" - Champions
"Ask someone to characterize a quintessential, somewhat-snobby beer bar, and they’ll inadvertently describe Proletariat every time. It’s extremely dark and full of framed cartoon drawings, there’s a tiny chalkboard of the daily-changing draft list, and the East Village space is about as wide as an Amtrak train car. Not to mention, most people in here look like they spent a summer in Vermont preserving maple syrup lines and learning how to grow malt." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
"The beer bar Proletariat relocated to a larger East Village space, retaining its extensive beer program while pairing it with vegan English fare such as a shepherd’s pie stuffed with polenta and potato cakes." - Eater Staff
"I learned that The Proletariat, an East Village beer bar that closed after 10 years this spring, will reopen on June 17 at 21 East Seventh Street, between Second and Third avenues. The bar from restaurateur Ravi DeRossi will be anchored by a full-service vegan kitchen, churning out potato and polenta shepherd’s pie and a version of the British “bubble and squeak” made with mushroom and lentil." - Luke Fortney
