    There were lines around the block for the chain restaurants near Times Square, and this place was just a block away. It was quiet, we got great service, and the food was good and nicely presented. I wanted to tell people in that long line, “hey right there is a place with great beer and bar food with no wait.”

    Stopped in for dinner after a matinee show before heading home.Seated on time.Friendly staff.Nice menu.Great beer selection and more non alcoholic beers than most places.Cuban sandwich was one of best I’ve had,they’re my current choice to try if it’s on the menu.My wife loved her burger and very pleased to get side salad instead of fries as an option.Will definitely be here again when we park at Port Authority

    Friday night at 6:00pm. Nice ambience. Easily hold a conversation without yelling. We sat at the windows overlooking Broadway. Food was good, nothing overwhelming. We got burgers and cheesesteak. Good selection of beer. Kind of pricey, but it’s NYC. Would not hesitate to go again.

    Stopped in at Beer Authority for a quick bite - and it was a fantastic meal. The fig salad was fresh and delicious. The homemade veggie burger was outstanding. And the waffles with ice cream were amazing. My server Antonio was an absolute star. Reasonable prices, too. It can get a bit loud, but that’s part of the fun.

    Originally booked to watch the Super Bowl. So had dinner and drinks. Food was amazing portion sizes are on point. Good selection of food and drink. Staff are great, very friendly. This was next to my hotel so perfect to walk to and from if the weather wasn’t the best.
