The Name.  The Website.  The Location.  Everything pointed to Rattle 'N' Hum being just another New York Irish Pub.  Then I saw The Blackboard. To your left as you enter, one half of The Blackboard lists the easy-to-find beers that R 'N' H doesn't carry and the other half lists the superior alternatives that they do.  Like Hoegaarten?  Have an Allagash White.  Like Bud?  Have a Brooklyn Lager.  Work for InBev?  Stay the Hell out of this bar.  Of course, The Blackboard isn't quite enough to make the place Beerlord worthy. A warm atmosphere, 40+ taps and separate cask bar complete the picture.   Overall, a great spot that fills a void in midtown Manhattan.
