Beer Authority

Go if you want a huge beer list, rooftop seating, and filling bar food near Times Square without paying rooftop-bar premiums. Skip if you need a quiet setting for conversation — the music can get loud. The downstairs bar is cash only. Beer list prices on printed menus may lag behind actual pricing by a dollar or so — confirm before ordering. Rooftop is less crowded mid-evening on weekends. Reservations accepted for groups.
