Small but mighty spot for beer. There are about 14 beers on tap. I was surprised by how much stout representation there was on a summer day. Some of the beers are quite pricey, so be sure to check the prices, which are well labeled. You'll see some special craft names, including some locals.
What I don't understand is while there are lots of cans for purchase, most are not refrigerated. My favorite type of beers should really be refrigerated, so I didn't end up buying anything, not knowing how long those beers were on the shelf.Helpful 7Thanks 1Love this 9Oh no 0 - May 23, 2023
Small beer bar. Seats inside and out. Excellent draft list. 14 taps. All were craft and a focus on local and regional beers. Options from Grimm, Barrier, Sloop, Monkish, and other great breweries at the time of my visit. Pricey at $10 for a pint of a Pilsner. Bar was quiet at the time, so service was super quick.

We stumbled upon this bar. We were looking for a bar that was like a brewery. I had a wheat beer from Colorado. The beer was great. The ambience was great and so was the service.

Carmine Street is a fantastic spot to grab a pour or two and/or fill up on craft bottles and cans for takeaway. The selection here is amazing. They bring in a lot of local and non-local offerings and many different styles. This place is a chill neighborhood hangout with friendly staff. Next time I'm in the city and need a craft beer, I can count on Carmine Street for some excellent beer.

We discovered this place when visited two weeks ago and it is fantastic. In the heart of the West Village on Carmine. Amazing selection of beers and the proprietor was so knowledgeable and made some excellent suggestions. My wife loves IPA beers and the Acute Angle from Beer Tree Brew and Phase Three F Stop were perfect we are going to see if we can find them up in Western Mass. I am a fan of darker beers and ales and the Zero Gravity Stout and Bierstadt Oktoberfest were perfect. The bar area is in the front when you enter. It is small and was packed that night with a youthful crowd. They have a small table area in the rear as well. If you are looking for a friendly place to share some tasty brews this is a must.

Look, as craft beer stores go in the city, there are only 2-3 i'll frequent to pick stuff up, and this is one of them. Difficult to get your hands on, they'll have it (if it wasnt scooped up by someone else), large selection yup, prices are good, and the family that owns and runs the place is great.
The draft list is always pretty darn good too.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Jan 5, 2015Previous reviewThe selection here is pretty damn good. Some of the prices are spot on as well. There are a few sore thumbs though in regards to price, but hey, if you can't find it close by, that's what you have to pay.
The owner/manager is rather nice as well. - Janet R.New York, NY1201Mar 26, 2023
Good beer but I can only give 3 stars as they don't let you taste the draft beers to see which one you want to order. Most craft beer places do.

The guy on a Sat afternoon was such a jerk to us for no reason. My boyfriend tipped well, was super polite and friendly but this guy looked and acted like he was miserable. And was super nasty when we asked a few basic questions. Maybe he was having a bad day but it was so over the top we will
Spend our money elsewhereHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
