Last Saturday teased New Yorkers with a glimpse of what spring is like in Gotham. The temperature reached 62. Some New Yorkers brought their bikes and skateboards out for the day. Others decided to do some shopping on Bleeker St.
I, too, ventured out into the West Village Saturday, but not for shopping. I wanted to try “the best beer list in NYC” at the Peculier Pub.
The building that houses Peculier Pub is over 100 years old and was once a Bible shop. Nowadays instead of reading Bibles, patrons are reading from a menu with more than 400 beers and an extensive list of cocktails (http://www.peculierpub.com/Pubmenu.pdf).
The bar of course carries the usual suspects which can be found at any bar (Brooklyn Lager, Yuengling, Budweiser, Stella, Blue Moon, and Wagner’s Cider), as well as an abundance of American craft beers which is currently a ubiquitous theme in the City.
Whether you choose to drink an old favorite or possibly try some new favorites, the jukebox can provide fantastic background music. Although I am still in search of a bar with a complete License to Ill album, selections from The Who, Dr. Dre, Frank Sinatra, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Grateful Dead suffice.
I am an avid fan of German wheat beers (as can be seen below with the Weihenstephaner I ordered), a Belgian every now and then, and the occasional Beer Lao (still have yet to meet a Lao person that likes Beer Lao) or San Miguel (Philippines). It’s good to know that I now have a place in the West Village right around the corner from Washington Square Park where I can find all of these sections (if I have a bunch of cash; Peculier does not accept cards and you must pay for your drinks as you go).
