Beer Table rocks!

Spent a few hours in my new most favorite bar again last night - Beer Table. What a great addition to the neighborhood! Going again tonight.


:drunken:

Er what do you love about it so much? And more important, where is it?

I've have to go check it out.

Muggle, it's on 7th and 13th-ish (can't remember exact street).

It's between 14th and 15th right in the middle of the block on the east side of the street (the same side as La Dolce Vita deli)

Can you get hard booze there or only beer?

and what of these so-called tables?

please describe

I've never been, but after reading the times article above, I'm definitely interested.

I <3 beertable but you can drop some serious cash in there. Be aware that the place aint cheap, I think the least expensive beer on the menu is usually around $8 (the menu changes almost daily)

The owners Justin and Trish are freaking awesome and the atmosphere kicks ass. Also be aware that it fills up pretty quickly on weekends because the whole place only holds about 25 people.

In the Time Out review it was listed under "Splurge"
My poor ass ain't going there soon :P

Have they fixed their air conditioner? My husband and I went there a few weeks ago and it was hot as hell inside and they didn't have any ice. Horrible experience. We left after only one drink.

Agreed. It does rock- if you are a beer lover. I am. It can get pricey but you have access to all these great beers you can't get anywhere else or even would think of trying. And a lot of the beers have high alcohol %, so more bang for your buck? Trish and Justin are great and make good recommendations.

I disagree. Almost all of the beers at beer table are available at specialty beer stores like Thrifty American in Carroll Gardens or at bars such as Mug's Ale House or Spuyten Duvyil in Williamsburg.

It's only beer, but by only, I mean Awesome. And as one who usually hits the hard stuff (gin, rum, vodka, scotch) I have to say that Beer Table is really worth it.
The owners (presumably the owners, a bro and sis) have an incredible knowledge of beers. It's more like ordering wine.
They have a giant list that changes regularly and wow there's a lot to choose from.
You might be able to get the same beers BeerTable has at some other venues, but not in Park Slope and certainly not in as long as list (that I personally know of, but then again, I don't usually seek this sort of thing out).
It can be expensive, but then again, you can go to Bar 4 nearby if you wanna get hammered on Buds (though Bar 4 is extending their tap so I should not diss them).
Beer Table is more of a place for refined drinking and comfortable socializing. That end of the slope is really nice right now.

Plus, I doubt strollers would fit there ;-)

Trisha and Justin are married, not siblings...fyi And her sister, who's name escapes me, also works there now.


And I've seen kids in there with strollers parked outside. Yech.

Ahhh, all I know is that he once said someone who was working there was his sister (or sister in law, or I was not hearing him correctly). Eitherway, the two seem really cool. Thanks for the clarification. I don't wanna start any weird/uncomfortable rumors :-)

All I know is that this place sounds kinky as all get out - brothers, sisters, in-laws all working in a tight place. I mean, obviously something is bound to be a brewing in there.

I can't wait to check it out... so, is it BYOB or what?

i went last night for the first time. brought a friend who was in from out of town.

while i loved the owners and the place itself (and of course my beer) the place was so hot, we almost didn't stay.

i could not WAIT to get out of there.

one beer and we were out. it must have been 100 degrees in there.

I have not been there since it's gotten really hot but I do remember trisha saying that they had the AC installed wrong by the contractor- apparently it's in a metal casing instead of mesh or something like that. I know they're aware of the problem.

Speaking of BEER, did you know that GRAB, across the street in the same area, has beer on tap for sale?

YES! I recently bought some for a friend's b-day. I figured, every needs to own at least one growler! It does take a while to fill those suckers tho, so if you go there, tell them which one you want and plan to come back 15 minutes later to pick it up. Well worth the wait though, I mean, you save some money, save the environment and get to drink beer! It's win win win!
