A Great Place for Great Beer

The 4th Avenue Pub, on 4th Avenue and Bergen Street in Brooklyn, is an excellent place for BEER. They have about 20 taps filled with some of the coldest and most delicious beer this side of heaven. Both foreign and domestic microbrews abound, and the knowledgeable staff will gladly pour a taste for you (in a tiny shot glass mug). They’ll also make recommendations and once they get to know your tastes, you can’t beat this place with a stick.
