Most people don’t need an excuse to drink beer, the world’s most popular alcoholic drink by far. But in the event that you do, here’s a good one. April 7 just so happens to be National Beer Day. It’s a festive opportunity to throw back a bottle or two of this beloved beverage. You could stick to a six-pack of your run-of-the-mill beer from your nearest gas station, but this holiday really calls for something a little more special than that, don’t you think? Instead, why don’t you head to one of our welcoming watering holes and enjoy a cold one in the company of your fellow beer buffs? Here are some great bars where you can celebrate National Beer Day.
Ben’s Grill & Tap
Ben’s Grill & Tap boasts the largest selection of craft beers in Midtown with an array of brews available on tap, by the bottle and in cans. They’ve got IPAs, lagers, ales, you name it.
