Spuyten Duyvil

Like Hop Devil in the East Village, David Copperfield's on the Upper East, and Brazen Head in Brooklyn Heights, Spuyten Duyvil is a bar for the beer lover. Boasting a hand pump for cask conditioned ale and over 100 bottled beers comprised mostly of carefully chosen Belgian ales, this railroad apartment shaped bar is a great place to rinse out the taste of all that Stella you've been drinking on Bedford Ave.

• There's no better place in the city to experience such a large and varied selection of Belgian Ales.
• The atmosphere complements the beer perfectly. The lighting is warm without being dim. The bar fills, but the crowd is thoughtful and conversational, rather than loud and overly boisterous.
• The enormous garden with its ivy covered brick walls is nothing less than wonderful on a spring day.

• Belgian Ales ales labeled dubbel are double strength or about 7% alc, while those labeled tripel can be up to 10% alc.
• Of the worlds 181 Trappist monasteries only 7 produce beer: Achel, Chimay, La Trappe, Orval, Rochefort, Westmalle, and Westvleteren.
