I understand why the other reviewers mentions that the bartender can be stand-offish sometimes, but he's a nice guy and he's willing to talk beer if you're friendly and don't sound like too much like an amateur. You can meet some weirdos in this place, but honestly I like that kind of vibe, so it doesn't bother me. Beer list is good, and I had some options I hadn't tried before (even though I live in Brooklyn where a lot of the selections come from). You may like it you may not, but you should definitely come check it out!
Best spot. John is the man. Super good recommendations. Amazing beer list on tap. Perfect spot for after Hudson Valley Brewery.
I visited Draught Industries tonight, 12/26.
The beer list was solid. I had some beers from a brewery that I’ve never tried before (Relic Brewery), which were awesome. I did not have any food, so I can’t speak to that.
I asked the bartender, “what’s the best dark beer you have on tap?” He couldn’t think of a single one, and just shoved a beer menu at me, not offering any input. There’s a list of the beers on the wall. I didn’t need to see a menu, I just wanted advice/his opinion.
Most bartenders are knowledgeable about the beer they serve. As someone who’s worked in the food and beverage industry for 7 years, I just feel like you should be able to describe products that your restaurant/bar sells.
Anyway, I ended up loving the beer I chose.
To be honest, I would have given this place a 4 or 5 star rating, but I read some of the comments that the owner made towards people leaving negative reviews, and it left a super bad taste in my mouth. For that reason, and that reason alone, I probably won’t return.
