Brooklyn Tap House (CLOSED)

Forty taps dispense craft brews (Founders, Delirium Tremens, Stone) at this Bed-Stuy beer hall. The spot's ethos is "no crap on tap," and the bottle (Maredsous, Lindemans) and can (Porkslap, Oskar Blues) lists are carefully curated as well. Snag a red vinyl banquette and order from the menu of rib-sticking comfort eats, including hot wings, a Schaller & Webber beer-braised brat and a vegan tempeh Reuben. The 80-seat space features barn-wood–paneled walls, poured concrete floors, and a Brooklyn-themed mural of trains, a bridge and subway-map fragments painted by graffiti artist Jamie Hef.
