I really liked this corner parlor. A nice quaint basement and street side outdoor tables. Read three papers and the bartender was pleasant to speak with.
A cool parlor near Columbia University to get a craft beer. Good beer and quick service. The only downfall was it smelled a bit damp and undesirable.
“A Nacho-tastrophe in the Best Way Possible” If you’re like me and have a deep emotional relationship with nachos, then you’ll understand the skepticism that filled my soul when I heard the words “vegan chicken nachos.” But folks, I’m here to tell you: those nachos are straight-up wizardry. First off, the vegan chicken? It had me questioning my life decisions, like, have I been eating real chicken all these years or just a vague concept of it? This stuff was next-level. Seasoned with what I can only assume is unicorn dust, and layered over a mountain of crunchy tortilla chips like a golden retriever’s love — endless and comforting. Then there was the toppings. They didn’t just slap on some sad, watery salsa and call it a day. Oh no. We’re talking avocado/Guac (for a bit extra) on top that tasted like it was picked by angels, jalapeño flavors that hit harder than my therapist’s advice and vegan cheese that actually melted like real cheese — something I was starting to think was a myth. And now… the craft beer. This place takes their beer more seriously than I take my Netflix recommendations. They had a selection that would make even the snobbiest of beer enthusiasts weep into their artisanal hops. I paired my nachos with a hazy IPA “Fidens Vegan IIPA” #8 on the draft list, that was so fresh I’m convinced it still had dreams of becoming a cloud. The flavor was a perfect blend of citrus. So, in conclusion: If you’re looking for a meal that’ll make you question reality, taste buds, and whether or not you can be best friends with nachos, look no further. I’ve found my happy place, and it’s covered in vegan chicken and craft beer.
I used to love this place. Until tonight. Staff was more interested in talking to each other than in taking my order. The nachos used to come with lots of vegan chicken. Not anymore. They serve you a big slop of stale tortilla chips with barely any chicken at all. In the past, we’ve stayed till closing and would be able to order more food. Tonight, when I went to order more food at 9:15P, kitchen was closed. No warning. Last couple of times I was here, they were out of buns and tortilla chips. Tonight, they were out of tater tots and customer service was also off the menu.
Came for Sunday bar trivia as a group of friends in our late 20s (attended during the back to college weekend). Had really good cozy craft beer bar energy. Trivia/bar crowd was fun, not too rowdy. Craft beers had tons of variety, the sours were particularly delicious. Bar also had sangria and ciders as options (no hard alcohol). Prizes for trivia were first and also second place - $30 gift card to the bar and a flight of beers respectively. Overall, great time, great beer. Didn't get any food
Lovely place. Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. Nice variety of beers. Tasters were $5 each, so a 4-beer flight was $20. The Prairie Tiny Esses Sour was my favorite. The Rotbier (smoked rauchbier) was different/odd.
Arts&Crafts Beer Parlor in Manhattan’s lovely Morningside Heights neighborhood is literally one of only a handful of best craft beer bars in all of New York City. If you enjoy really crafty craft beers or just want to explore what Amazing beer is out there, this place is definitely for you!! With that said, they still have wine, hard cider, light lagers, and pilsners for people who don’t want to explore. Further, their 100% plant-based menu is excellent. Arts&Crafts is definitely one of my all-time favorite craft beer bars in New York City.
Amazing staff... gorgeous food absolutely delightful well-presented, gentle chill atmosphere. Clean Corners relaxing amazing cold AC!! the inside design is actually quite pleasurable everything is sustainable minded and the beers on tap are stunning and rotating constantly. they also have a large array of bottled and canned Originals!
Nice beer list and service
Scary story and bad networking experience Food
Excellent craft beer selection, solid IPAs, and fair prices.
Great place for beers and (non meat) snacks - very cozy, nice folks, and good beer selection.
Superb choice of microbrewery beers. Excellent vegan food. Nice place with a typical pub look.
The staff at is establishment are awesome. Best beer ever. Come see YAV and you will be in good hands. Food is vegan and the atmosphere is phenomenal.
Reasonably priced drinks for being on Columbia campus. The pretzel was great, however their jalapeño queso was not my favorite.
I stopped by to take a break after visiting Columbia University, and it was a beer pub that didnt have anything to be desired in terms of atmosphere or taste. If you like lager, you should definitely try the owner s pick, No. 20 OEC Americana It was the most delicious draft beer I had in America.
Unfriendly staff
I was amazed with the brisket sliders. My daughter absolutely loved everything. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you for your hospitality.
Nice and ample selection of beers. Tasty small bites.
the pomegranate cider was awesome. Some bros let us sit at the table with them which was nice. Would come back
Literally the bartender sold me two beers and didn t make it clear they were non alcoholic
Twenty-five CB are on tap, predominantly sourced from the East Coast. While the counter seats cater to quieter adults, the tables might be occupied by jubilant birthday groups of children.
Amazing beer selection!
Amazingly tasty tacos and great kombucha Vegetarian options: Every dish could be te one that brings you back to those bar nights after college loved chunk steak tacos and Korean bbq too Food : 5/5 |
Nice place, very cozy, I loved above all the vibe of the place and the relaxed nature of everything, the decoration is elegant and rustic. the beer very delicious and the tacos wow they are amazing I tried 3 different types and the meat is really good we will definitely come back more often Vegetarian options: barbecue chunk steak tacos wow very very delicious
Love this place! The drink selection is great; the first time I came we got a beer flight with 4 different kinds and this time we got mulled wine. Food is also good, we have gotten the pretzels and tater tots and they were the perfect snack to subside us. Vibes are great, music is awesome, not too crowded and so much space to play a card game or two. Once the football game was over they put Bob Ross on the tv
A must if you visit or study at Columbia, great vegan food as well as a huge selection of beer, ale, mead and more.. love the cozy tavern/pub vibes.
Very good services y people services , I mean workers
Cozy, somewhat secluded spot close to the Columbia campus with a cool chalkboard menu of rotating cool drinks on tap!
Hidden gem near MacDougal Street. Its located below the street level, so easily missed my a lot of people passing by and probably thats why we could find an empty table at 9.30 on Friday night. Good selection of beers. The online menu has ratings as well pulled from one of the most famous beer app called Untappd. You can also take cards or broad games to play there. Tables are quite big so that you can easily play games.
Favorite craft beer bar in New York. There are good positions in cold storage
Lovely staff. Excellent beer selection. Food was yummy (and vegan, if that is your thing), only meaningful complaint was beverages were overpriced.
Great spot for university students! Usually a little crowded, so its a lively place. I really enjoy their new menu, especially the sliders.
Really fun little pub, really good vegan food, and great beer
Lots of varieties of beer and decent vegan food
It s fine, too many stuck up academics
Great place to get out of the rain and pick a fight over politics
Great beer selection and food is top notch for bar food.
Haunt of Columbia students. Come for the drink variety, stay for the new menu.
Quiet environment and professional service and staff. Vegetarian options: Excellent tacos. Food : 4/5 |
Lots o beer options
What a great service! Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable about the craft beers, ciders and all they offer. The food is beyond amazing!! Best vegan menu Ive ever had, every dish was outstanding, yummy and delicious. Ill go back because Im craving the food already. Absolutely cozy and fun fun spot.
Lively haunt with low ceilings, energetic student body vibe, and plenty of brews to choose from. Indoor and outdoor seating. Got the chips and salsa which was good but I cant comment on the food beyond that.
Very nice bar with many different beers on tap. Cozy atmosphere and nice staff.
Good beer selection and the best of the neighborhood bars
Some of the best beer selection anywhere on the Upper West Side, excellent relaxed atmosphere
Really chill spot with great staff and a pretty extensive (and rotating) selection of craft beers. I didnt order off their food menu but will definitely try it next time!
Had a delicious Peach sour beer.
This place is a gem of a hole in the wall. Easy to miss because the entrance is sunken off the sidewalk, but the bar itself is absolutely worth a visit. The weekend bartender is a gem of a human, leaves you the right amount of space to chill and drink while being vigilant enough to refill any empty glasses. They have a great beer list, very sizable and accommodating for any preference. Didn t try their tacos on this first go around but they all sound delicious, highly recommend stopping in for a pint and a chat amongst good company. Check out the cool artwork one of the bartenders makes and sells off the wall too!
A classic after classes at Columbia! The food is vegetarian and non-vegetarians would hardly notice, its very good! I only give it 4 stars because of the lack of variety, but it is 100% worth it. The good vibes and service are the best things about the place! Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is via a steep staircase, so accessibility would be a point to improve :)
Good beer place. No outside food allowed
Good selection of brews but prices a little high. Crowd appears to be mostly students from Columbia University which is nearby.
Enjoyed the company of everyone, tipped the friendly bar tenders well. Jeff was a nuisance, like always, not sure why they keep him around. I guess they are short on staff, regardless I will return.
Oh my god. Stop doing whatever you are doing right now and go to Arts and Crafts Beer Parlor. Best beer parlor between 116 and 115 on Amsterdam. Jeff....best bartender ever. As usual.. Reconciled my relationship between me and my long lost brother Thadius. Could not have done it with out him. Colins alright I guess. The owners are super accommodating and knowledgeable. Wish I could give it five stars.
Has an amazing beer selection and has trivia once a week that is quite fun
Excellent selection of draft beer.
Was served by a bulky guy who treated me really badly.
Love the beer, flatbreads and staff
What a beautiful establishment, great food & even better drinks ! Friendly staff and a comfortable vibe! Totally recommend ! Can t wait to visit again!
Great selection of beers. Jon was awesome.
Great place for unique beers. Happy hour is a must
Great beer, with knowledgeable bartenders. Lovely little spot. Snacks looked good, though I didnt try them.
Decent spot to drink just beer with friends . Not that great to mingle or hook up . All guest were lawyers talking to only each other like there to good to mingle with strangers not dressed up.
Great selection of local draft beers and delicious snack food! Also, some of the hardest questions on the trivia night, if youre up for that kind of fun
I checked out ACBP during Check-in Weekend for Columbia. My kind of place! I plan to visit whenever Im in the neighborhood, for the next four years at least.
Get the number5
Good selection of beer but my measly pour was $14!!!!
Nice little pub in a college part of town. I got the doughnut cider, which was on tap and I wish that I could have taken some cans home. It was a bit crowded when we went, but overall decent
Good ciders but wouldn t recommend sitting outside unless you want to be targeted by the bouncer repeatedly and be rudely spoken to (not sure why just our table was being watched and why the same rules did not apply to other tables). Yes I see the big signs that say no outside food but then maybe don t take an hour to bring the tater tots (literally took one bite of packed up food and was told wrap it up and leave ???). Another note, when people say goodnight, it means that you want the other person to have a good night. It s not too hard to talk politely to people. Super weird experience.
Ok so here s the deal, bartender asked what we like, we said IPAs, she recommended the most expensive beer on the menu and ok yeah it s on me to take note of prices but they have a TON of types of beers on a sprawling menu: we got two ipa s and an order of tater tots (slightly soggy, less than mediocre) and paid over $37 including tax and tip. Welcome to 2022. Also the pours didn t feel like a full pint.
Go for the multiple offerings of beer - not the food.
Columbia University hang out with a Great beer selection & some vegan selection. Only, expect to wait an hour for your food order. A pretzel should not take an hour to cook. Whatever you do DO NOT order the pastrami as it is tough as shoe leather. The menu has changed since I wrote this initially but the wait & noise is the same. I made a mistake coming here again. Never again. The beer selection is still good though.
Warm vibes
Great beer selection
Great place! Tasty and affordable craft beers
Student beer bar
Ever-changing beer list and tons of bottles and cans to choose from. The staff are nice and the few foods Ive tried have been pretty good. Beers are bit pricy.
Two cups and l was done. Great music very nice employees. Great price range
If you like tavern vibes youll enjoy ACBP a lot! They carry mostly local brews plus a few Belgian staples and a great bar bites that are vegan friendly Indoor seating is limited and intimate and there are more outdoor seating too now.
Great beer selection, cool spot - simple and easy going.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Southern Tier Coconut Truffle Stout and enjoying it outside.
Outstanding selection and they changed the taps regularly. The bartenders are both friendly competent and knowledgeable. We love this place.
One of the best curated tap lists in the city sits squarely on the middle of a vast (in nyc terms) desert of good bars.
Great spot near the Columbia University campus. Beer selection is excellent, and the bartenders were very knowledgeable about the menu.
Great selection, they change it up pretty frequently; however, be warned it IS a tad expensive even for Manhattan. A beer will run you up ~$12.
Classy little beer, cider & wine bar adjacent to the Columbia campus.
Quality beer and quality bites. Always an amazing selection on draft. A great after work spot for sure
Good beer
Excellent beer selection and awesome, knowledgeable staff!
Not bad. Nice bar vibe, tasty food but disappointing portion size for what you pay. Maybe thats just the way bars are, though.
Nice selection, nice staff. Pretty chill place.
Super homey! Friendly, good beer selection. A nice place to visit, recommended.
Very fun and comfortable bar. Great selection of unique beers and knowledgeable, friendly bartenders.
Great beer hall near Columbia to unwind, people watch, and try a new beer. The taps frequently rotate with new favorites and the staff and owners are very friendly and quick to notice new regulars and old friends
many beers here. i have yet to try them all
Great scene with a superb selection of craft beers
New favorite place in NYC
Wide selection of beers and if youre very picky theres a beer for you too.
No complaints!
A very chill night out! It was very cool they had Austin Eastciders when I went (Im from Texas.)
Love this place. Great beer and bites.
One of the best draft beer selections I ve seen in Manhattan. Try the tots with beer cheese.
Great chill bar with nice service! The flannel shirts are the best
Extraordinary beer selection and great ambiance. Recommended.
Nice joint.
Great place around campus.
Excellent place
A highly welcome serious beer bar in a neighborhood bereft of enough good restaurants and bars. Very glad to have these guys around!
Very nice beer and kind personnel!
A nice place to chill!!
Spacious craft beer joint right next to Columbia. The staff is the friendliest you ll meet in the area. Food s not bad either.
Made me rethink what I knew about this part of town. I mean that in a great way.
Amazing draft list and a great atmosphere
Huge selection
Nice after work gathering place
Very cool spot! WIDE selection of beers, but leaning on a lot of IPAs.
Love the flat breads!!!
Good on-tap beer selections, rotated regularly. Relaxing atmosphere.
