Pub Crawl NYC reviews Murray’s Cheese Bar in Manhattan’s West Village

The folks from Murray’s Cheese recently opened a wine and cheese spot three doors west of the cheese shop location.  Taking over from the short-lived Bin on Bleecker (and Bar’rique before that) at 264 Bleecker Street in Manhattan’s West Village, Murray’s Cheese Bar is a must-visit for those who like wine and cheese.  Dozens of wines out-of-the-bottle available, with another 18-20 out of the glass (and 6 quality tap beers).  Open daily from 5pm – 1am, Murray’s Cheese Bar is a long and fairly narrow space.  A long bar is on the left-hand side and seating for parties of two to six opposite the bar.  A kitchen resides in the back.  The food, to state the obvious, centers around cheese.  In addition to cheese plates and chacuterie, Murray’s Cheese Bar offers their take on classic cheese-centered dishes such as grilled cheese and fondue.  We recommend the classic grilled cheese (don’t forget the tomato soup — very tasty!).  This spot is a great addition to the West Village wine bar crawl!
