How we score

The editorial take

Harlem Hops runs a 16-tap craft beer list that moves through mead/cyser, stout, Scotch ale, four IPAs, pilsner, lager, dubbel, festbier, table beer, sour IPA, and dry cider. Pours come in 5oz, 10oz, and some 14oz sizes, with 25oz and 32oz crowlers for takeaway. The bar works with local breweries on bespoke beers and keeps a 'Beer History = Black History' page by Tonya Hopkins.

What should I order?: Start with a 5oz pour of the Cherry Haze Mead - Cyser from St. Ambrose Cellars, then a 5oz of the Black Is Beautiful W/Baobab & Peanut Butter Stout from Montclair Brewery. If you want hops, the Dario's Double IPA from Noble Savage uses 100% NYS malt with Citra, Nectaron, and Idaho 7.
Who will enjoy this place?: Drinkers who want a compact, rotating craft list with local and diverse options, and who value being able to order 5oz pours to compare several styles without committing to a full glass.
What should I expect to spend?: 5oz draft pours run $5.00-$7.00, 10oz pours $8.00-$13.00, and 14oz pours $11.00-$12.00. Crowlers are $20.00-$23.00 for 25oz and $25.00-$28.00 for 32oz.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The bar describes itself as Manhattan's first 100% African American owned NYC local craft beer bar, works with local breweries on bespoke niche beers, and maintains a 'Beer History = Black History' page by Tonya Hopkins.
