So this place basically has non-New York prices in NYC? Why can’t there be more like this place! Drink prices are so far out of sight…

HOB does a lot of things right (brew selection, comfortable surroundings) but I can never get over the prices. Even with the Happy Hour discount it’s a rip. When you consider you can go to a place like The Australian and pay MUCH less in a better location with better food and a better crowd, HOB is exposed as the tourist trap it is. Too bad.

crazy story…hoping it’s an isolated incident even though sucks when it happens to you. i’ve been once and enjoyed the beer selection. now that CB6 closed, not too many ‘beer bars’ in midtown.

Be wary of this place. I went there after work with my girlfriend about a year ago and the waitress scammed us. The bill came to $170. We were just drinking beer. No food. No exotic $18 a bottle beers. I questioned the waitress and said there’s no way we drank this amount of beer. She said that I drank most of them because my girlfriend only had about 4 pints. So I said, “you mean to tell me that I had between 15-20 pints of beer in 2 hours? and I’m still upright and having this conversation with you?”. She said the bill was correct because the bartender doesn’t give her beers unless she enters them in the system. I’m not sure how that justifies it…it only justified her entering extra beer on our tab to give to the group of 8 guys at a table in the back she was fawning over for free. The manager came over and said the computer system is correct and that’s what the bill was. We’ve never been back and never will go back.
