Jen Torrerio, Manager and Bartender. Nice hat!
Love this place. Great light, curved bar, history and great beer all around.
Go into the light...
Join everyone at the Spring Lounge aka the Shark Bar! Corner of Spring & Mulberry, tomorrow morning starting at 8AM (till noon), Kegs N Eggs, featuring draft brews from Lagunitas & Smuttynose! This is one of THE BEST places to Day Drink in NYC. YOU won't want to miss this one!
This one's a bit of a teaser folks. Suffice it to say, there is video coming soon (as in Summer soon) from the fine folks at Ithaca Beer Co. Fingers crossed! Flower Power IPA... Wonderful. Like the Happy Hour Guys Hideaway, by the way? Hee hee!
Artsy Guy here. I'm new. Jimmy and Mark tossed me on board at the Pony All American party last week, and if that isn't a way to join the party I don't know what is. Howdy!
What better way is there to spend a beautiful (if breezy) Sunday afternoon than brunch? Brunch with beer you say? I'll agree with you. Thanks for the segue!
I'm occupying a sidewalk-view stool at Blind Tiger Ale House in NYC's West Village. They've got a killer breakfast sandwich (and more on their improved menu), and those who know me will attest to the fact that I'm a happy camper with a pint of West Coast IPA from Green Flash in lovely Vista, CA.
Great place, this Blind Tiger! And the people watching is lively too. And that's what's HOPpenin'. (Man, did I just attempt a catch phrase?) Cheers, y'all!
(Photo note: Not all pints come with minivans.)
The line begins.
Mirjana - why so happy? Because you're pouring cask ale?
Love the headgear. And the beer.
Happy Happy Hour Guys.
... with the owner of the Pony Bar, Dan McLaughlin. Way to go Dan!

The Guys made a nice an appearance at the Whisky LIVE event at Chelsea Pier 60 in NYC this evening, reconvening with old friends and making new ones. We very much enjoyed getting a chance to hang out with our friends from Four Roses Distillery in KY, and made some new great friends at thatgirlattheparty.com - y'all should definitely go and check those gals out!
pixelation? Or too many whiskies?
Our good friends at Four Roses distillery definitely hooked us up. Goodness, what wonderful bourbon!
With Hollis Bulleit (of Bulleit Bourbon and Bulleit Rye) at Whisky LIVE. I'm the one without the headdress. Not that I'm against headdresses, it just didn't fit in my suitcase.
Yup, I made it. And here's the proof:
Safe to say, there was a lot of mixology going on. More to come soon. Mmmmmm, Rye.
So after hanging out with Tom Bulleit at this event, I must say that Bulleit's Rye is quite surprising: It's actually very mellow, like it was intended to be mixed in a cocktail. One would expect that rye to come charging across the palate like a 'high rye' bourbon, but it doesn't. Ironically, I would place Bulleit Rye in a softer arena than Bulleit Bourbon! Sampled neat, I found it to be very easy going and with a little (very little) water it came alive with some spice - but this is not a spirit that's going to stand up to a lot of water or ice. Interesting choice, Tom. Very cool.
Here at The Happy Hour Guys, we love many things: ;We love Astoria; we love 5 Napkin; and we love Boulder Beer Company's Mojo IPA.
