This past weekend I ventured to my new favorite bar Peculier Pub. Located in a mecca of bars down on Bleecker, the safe haven for twenty-something-year-olds and college students, rests Peculier Pub. It’s up for some steep competition with The Bitter End next door and the allure of the pirate bar Wicked Willy’s. But how could either really compete with a bar boasting over 300 beers? Yeah that menu was a good 4-5 pages long of beer alone, plus another few dedicated for mixed drinks, beer cocktails, and food.
Do I even need to divulge into this epic beer menu of epicness? Let’s! You’ve got your classics from Belgium like Chimay and Saison Dupont, Samuel Smiths from England, and plenty of Hefeweizens from Germany. The U.S. beers are broken down by state and it’s everything you would expect like Harpoon, Rogue, and Southampton. But we have some beer from Hawaii like Fire Rock, Lobster Red Ale from Maine, and Voodoo Vator from Michigan. Did you ever think you’d have beer from Vietnam or Korea? Well now you can. Along with beer from Latvia, Peru, Israel, Turkey, and New Zealand. I could literally go to this bar every week and always try something new –I think I’m up for that challenge.
As if the beer selection wasn’t amazing enough, the food wasn’t too shabby either. They have all the classic pub food you’d expect like foccacia pizza, quesadillas, chicken fingers, burgers, wings, and sandwiches. You might not expect edamame, rosemary and garlic french fries, and beer battered mushrooms though. I can vouch for the mushroom and bacon pizza and the french fries, I recommend both.
Another plus is the pay as you go option. There was no crazy bill at the end of the night (that would have been scary as f*ck with 6 people alone at our table). No worrying about people jipping you, figuring out tax, and all that other b/s. It was easy and convenient. This English major couldn’t ask for more.
Overall, I can’t really say anything negative about Peculier Pub. Except the onion rings lacked any flavor whatsoever. Don’t get them unless you plan on smothering them in ketchup. Otherwise, it was a fantastic experience and I can’t talk highly enough about that beer selection. 300 beers!!!!!!! With seasonal beers always on tap and literally a beer from every country, it’s a beer lover’s dream come true. I’ll be back Peculier Pub. My ass will be back.
