Editorial Review for Spitzer's Corner – by Justine Goodman
In Short
Perhaps you've never heard of Rogue Dead Guy Ale, but the proprietors of Spitzer's Corner have, and with an astounding selection of draft beers--plus additional choices by the bottle--even the biggest brewsky snobs will be pleasantly surprised. French windows give way to a dark wood interior, starkly decorated with hanging industrial-style lamps and very little else--perfect for the lively crowd of hipsters and beer dorks who occupy the long communal tables and benches, sipping Hedonism Red Ale and humming along to tunes by bands like The Killers.
Hits: Pints range from $6-$8, and the knowledgeable bartenders will happily provide samples to help the indecisive find what they're looking for.
Misses: While the bar is open nightly until 4am, table service ends on the early side, so you'll have to get your own beer and carry it back to your table if it's past the dinner hour.

Insider Tips
Food ServedFoodies will approve of the carefully wielded menu, which features $4 bar snacks such as pork fat popcorn, a complete raw bar, and small and large plates like the hickory burger, PBLT (crispy pork belly, lettuce and pickled tomato on brioche) and beer-battered oysters.
Fun FactAccording to the bartender, the name "Spitzer's Corner" is not a less-than-subtle allusion to the former governor of New York, but refers to the previous tenant, a sewing establishment that occupied the space for many years.
The ExtrasYou'll never have to wait in line or contend with unreasonable or uncomfortable crowds, thanks in part to a back area that offers additional space when the main room fills.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! This place...I dont know what the hell this other guy is talking about. Ive never once had a bad experience at Spitzers and I come here constantly. The manager and the bartenders are always so sweet and accommodating. I have friends of a variety of colors and everyone has been treated wonderfully. They are super strict with their ID policy but its also their job. I bartend in New York so I get it. Spitzers is truly a gem!
Pros: Great Beer Selection, Friendly and Knowledgeable Staff
Cons: No liquor but they said they're trying to change that
