About this business
This smoky East Side bar is a beer haven and cigar bar all rolled into one, with over 100 bottled beers and more than 60 brews on tap. The Ginger Man is decorated with antiques, dark woods, brass fixtures and comfortable booths for drinking and eating. Pop and soul music play in the background. There are also good salads, sandwiches and stews, but most patrons come for the fine imported and domestic beers, ales and cigars, as well as the large selection of single-malt Scotch. The crowd is especially thick after work.

All The Draft Beer You Can Handle – This is a great place for drinks, specially if you're into draft beers. They have beers from around the world. They group them by type of beer on the menu so its easy to figure out what you would might like. The selection is constantly changing.
Unfriendly Management and Staff – I had an extremely disappointing experience at the GingerMan on 10/6/2010. One of our selections had a pungent taste as if the meat was spoiled. The manager arrived at our table as if frustrated, left to consult the kitchen staff, and returned to inform that we could eat the food or get something else, but there were no refunds. It was very disconcerting to know that he would prefer that we risk food poisoning to consume a meal which it seemed clear was unfit to eat rather than replace it or... read more
Great Selection of Beer – The Ginger Man is like an oasis in the dead zone of night life. There isn't much around here but Ktown 5 blocks away. It serves the purpose of providing a chill, spacious, beer-flowing bar in the area nonetheless. I really like the chill atmosphere and their sliders are amazing! the meat is juicy, tender and flavorful. Definitely have to order those!
Beer Great Manager Awful – The beer is fabulous and the selection very good, but The Blind Tiger is a far superior pub---the food is 100% better, the staff are more friendly and efficient, and the Management knows how to treat regular customers. Melody at The Ginbgerman is a dweeb- a self involved pretentious brainless dweeb who fails to see the connection between her wages and her customer service. I will never visit the pub again as a result. She's an idiot.
Great beer but waaaay overpriced. – Geez, I really love the Gingerman. The beer selection is out of this world and we always find a neat, rare, or superpowered beer that makes me snobby when when I go to other bars and they have nothing interesting to offer. You wont find the typical watered down stuff here: this bar is for the real beer drinker. The staff is happy to suggest just what we are looking for if you give them a little nudge in the right direction. We want to frequent this place more often but unfortunately it is ... read more
WONDERFUL BAR FOR LARGE GROUPS (with Great service) – I haven't been to Ginger Man in many years. But, by fluke, have been invited to group gatherings there twice in the past month. I have to say the service was great. You know when you're part of a large group and the waitress or bartender gets all cranky with everyone? NOT HERE. I was thoroughly impressed with both Nikki the bartender (total sweetheart) and Teresa (bubbly and fun). Not only were they sincerely nice and helpful but went out of their way to make sure I had a... read more
It Won't Pill Your Sweater – Rarely do I review anything. I just happened to fall into this place last night while trying to find something decent in the 30's. (yeah, I know) Somehow tonight in a gross coincidence, Ginger Man popped up on a related search or "best of" something while on this site. How serendipitous. The clientele was old boring professionals, and the occasional recent-grad yucking it up with his identical Steve Madden / Banana Republic clad friends. There's something to be said about a crowd whose members be... read more
Comfort environment with a large selection of belgium brews – My wife and I had been to ginger man with guys and gals for quite a few times. The reason it kept us there are, 1. Not so noisy - one of the few bars in the City that we could talk without shouting. 2. Comfortable sofa and chairs inside. 3. A large selection of Belgium brews, with great taste. 4. Best cheese I ever had. Recommend - Kwak, Chimay, cheese plate.
Great Beer-Bar with nice atmosphere – If your looking for a GREAT place in mid-town to try some new draft beers with an awesome selection then the Gingerman is your place. My friends and I (Brotherhood) had MANY a great night there, and it was also (before the ban) a great cigar bar. Regardless, nice couches in the back to relax and the I encourage you to try the pretzel with honey or the choices of soup. Also, close to GCS being that it is on 36th street. I enjoy European beers after grwing up drinking buds and coor's light... read more
