Fodor's Expert Review Spuyten Duyvil

Williamsburg

Once a dimly lit refuge for beer geeks to sample obscure brews from around the world, this rustic space has pivoted to a new concept: being more of a purveyor of amari (Italian herbal liqueurs) and vermouths, which is obvious when you walk in and see all the colorful bottles of them behind the bar. Beer nerds need not worry; there's still an impressive rotating beer list, but expect to share the space with others ordering from the wine list, or imbibing on an amaro or vermouth cocktail, while noshing on a charcuterie platter. The narrow space has shed its former bro-ey past and is actually more romantic, and that vibe spills out to the huge backyard when its warm.
