Queue Beer

Laid-back, cozy bar featuring rotating craft beer taps and cans, plus wine and cider.

Queue Beer is a $$ bar with serious craft-beer credibility: a 4.9 Google rating across 121 reviews and 2,234 all-time Blackbird check-ins. The loudest signals are simple and specific—fresh pours, an extensive tap-and-can selection, fair prices, and a clean, sharply designed room with a view of the Smith/9th Street bridge.

Reviewers frame it less as a generic beer stop than a regular’s beer bar: one calls it “one of New York’s top craft beer bars,” another says they became a near-permanent patron after walking in on a whim. Blackbird data backs the weekend pull, with Friday and Saturday as its busiest check-in days.

The human draw matters too. One highlighted review names owner and bartender Shane as the person to talk to about beer, while others praise the staff’s attentiveness and the bar’s regular events.
