124 Old Rabbit Club - Broad Channel

I can’t remember which but I had one of the best beers here. They played my fav band too so that was awesome.

A hidden gem. We missed it at first. It’s downstairs with a black door to the left of the obvious 124 street address. Bartenders were both super helpful and given my pickiness pointed me in the right direction with my beer choices. They were very knowledgeable about everything they carry. Lots of esoteric stuff you won’t see anywhere else. You won’t be getting anything standard here (no miller bud or coors). We had a lovely time.

Such a cool place! Hidden gem on Mcdougal street! Simply go down to the basement at #124. The metal door is filled with stickers on it. Go ahead and open it!

The place is a hidden gem. You have to really look closely for their gate, which is often closed and is hidden unnoticeable on the wall. The light was very dim, giving out a speak easy vibe. The heater made it very warm inside, so don’t worry that drinking too much beer would make you cold. They have a variety of German and Belgian beer that you usually won’t be able to find elsewhere. Before you leave, they let you finish with a German bitter.

I wish I could give this bar zero stars, but unfortunately that option isn’t available. It’s a nice little bar, but the staff is unbelievably rude. The bartender asked us to leave, and thankfully I had finished my drink and was already on my way out. When I asked him why we were being asked to go, he refused to answer. I have no idea what prompted this — maybe it was because I tapped the bar twice to a song? It’s so strange. It’s a shame, too, since we had already paid and left a tip! We are visiting from the UK, and I will definitely not be recommending this place to anyone. I’ll also be advising Lonely Planet to remove it from their guidebook.
