Sitting down with the owner of Draft Barn told me what I already knew; that man loves beer.  He told me about the beers only available at Draft Barn, about having the last six kegs of Liefmans in America and about his future expansion plans.  But you don’t need to talk to the guy to know how much he loves beer, all you have to do is look at the enormous bottle list, focused primarily on Belgian beers.  The Beerlord could come here 10 times and would still find brews he hadn’t tried.  Throw in great food and a pleasant outdoor area and you’ll see why it’s worth taking the F to Avenue X for a visit.

A second location has opened in Park Slope (530 3rd Ave, Brooklyn).

SPECIAL FEATURES

Bottles and drafts are all served in the proper glassware.

8 taps, one cask and an INSANE bottle list.  Some bottles are only found here. 

Recommended:  Any Belgian bottle you haven’t tried yet.  This is a place to experiment.
