Against The Grain is a bar that The Beerlord has wanted to place on the site since launch.  This cozy, quiet, candle-lit sibling to the wine bar, Grape and Grain, has six unique taps and a varied bottle selection.  The laid-back atmosphere makes it the ideal spot to head after more raucous East Village locations such as Zum Schneider and dba.  So then, Mr. Beerlord, why did you wait?  Well I had been told on numerous occasions by the proprietors that they would prefer I use their professional photos on my site.  No problem, except for the fact they never sent them.  But The Beerlord can wait no longer!  To hide this gem from my readers would be a crime and my pictures are probably better than theirs anyway.  Get thee to Against The Grain!
