Best beer bar in the city. They pay attention to details like... clean glasses, proper serving pressure/temperature, great selection. They have coolers full of curated regional and international beers so you can always find something interesting to try. The staff is knowledgeable. Breweries make this place their first stop in the city to do tap takeovers. They don't do a lot of food but what they have they do well. Makes it hard to go to other bars knowing I'll always have a great experience here.
Came here on a lovely Saturday afternoon so it wasn’t as packed. The beer & cider selections are impeccable, both on tap and in cans. I had the St. Ambrose with a hint of mango and jalapeño. I also had the peach beer. Yum!Get the grilled cheese especially the fig & arugula. Will definitely come back.
The space has a great vibe and there’s an awesome selection of tap and canned beverages. The spot we sat in had music so loud we were shouting to hear each other. The plant-based food selection also needs an upgrade, especially since you’re not allowed to bring your own food.
The grilled cheeses hit the spot (especially the havarti + fig + arugula) & there's always a couple phenomenal dark beers on tap.
It’s probably the best beer bar in NYC in terms of space/aesthetics, and probably somewhere in the #5-10 range in terms of beer selection
Grilled cheese was ?. I got the one with ham and Gruyère. Nice beer selection. I love a place with taps and fridges. The backyard is incredible. ??
Do not go here on the weekends; save yourself the time and go elsewhere. I wish I could give this place five stars because its beer selections are delicious, numerous, and impressive; however, the service is TERRIBLE. I waited nearly 2 hours for a simple grilled cheese sandwich, which never came. A biergarten is only as good as its accompanying dishes in my opinion, so this was a grave strike against this place. The backyard area is lovely and the beer selection is extensive. So, if you DO plan on going to Covenhoven, resolve to only drink beer and do not order any food. Also, one of the bartenders was pointedly creepy towards the women in my group, which is unacceptable.
Always a good time, cozy and a great back yard. It’s got dozens and dozens of can/bottle beer options and a rotating tap list that turns over daily with great craft beer.
Great ambience. Wonderful spot to hang out. Delicious beer and grilled cheese.
Awesome beer selection, great back yard, and delicious good (have had pretzel, bratwurst, and grilled cheese ... all good).
