A visit to Alfie’s in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen

Walking north along 9th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen, we were happily surprised to learn of Alfie’s, a new craft-beer focused gastropub, located on the northeast corner of 53rd Street and 9th Avenue.  We had not learned of Alfie’s prior to walking past it (we were, of course, on our way to a different bar when we passed Alfie’s).  The spot offers 20 tap beers, whose rotation varies from three to six weeks and includes a focus on seasonal beers.  A good number of brews hailed from New York State or other Northeastern locales.  The place was fairly spacious: bar on left and tables for dining on right, along with some high-top tables near the entrance.  We did not sample the food menu, so we look forward to doing that on a return trip.  Alfie’s is definitely a nice addition to the HK craft-beer focused NYC bar crawl.
