I've lived down the road from Spuyten Duyvil for over three-quarters of a year, but only went there for the first time a couple weeks ago. It took a post-dinner pre-flight late-night rendezvous to get me there. And though I spent months precariously listening to friends rave about the joint, I can now safely say from personal experience that it is indeed a beautiful haunt, especially if you avoid the crowd and go for one of their delicious pints on a weekday. I can't wait to go back and imbibe the Dieu du Ciel that they're importing from Montreal.CONSUMED: Spuyten Duyvil; 359 Metropolitan Ave, Williamsburg (Brooklyn)

I've added a pseudo-blogroll (see on the right). These are my friends, all with exquisite blogs. They deserve your patronage perhaps more than I do.
Kurt - this is Julia from choir, found you via Emily's blog, can't remember if I ever commented here before - anyway I can't believe you'd never been to Spuyten before! I love love that place, it's so warm and inviting, and they have my favorite Belgian beers. I'm sad they just raised their prices :-(
ReplyDeleteSee you tonight!
Hey Julia! Yeah I was a bit disappointed in myself, to tell you the truth. But for some reason, every time I tried to aim my friends at Spuyten, we'd end up at Fette Sau or Roebling Tea Room. Both of those places are good alternatives. But certainly no Spuyten Duyvil.
ReplyDeleteKurt. I'd like to be A-type about something for once: we should make a list of all the places in our neighbourhood (maybe with the whiteboard markers!) and make sure to go to all of them before you go.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. "Before you go." Aw!
ReplyDeleteAlso: I've never been to Spuyten Duyvil. Let's make it our next beer!
Yes Dory. An NYC bucket list. I'll get on it.
ReplyDeleteI really like this place, even though I'm not that into beer. Also, the Opie thing wasn't that hot. I didn't really have the stomach for it. It did include polaroids though, which is cool
ReplyDeleteI tend to get the drunkest out of all the bars in New York City here.
ReplyDeleteah tanveer. it appears we need to visit this bar together.
ReplyDeleteOkay! How about a wednesday night dory's-back-in-town evening at Spyten? Everyone who comments on this post gets to come.
