The Ginger Man

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.

Nice beer selection, friendly, expensive & over-crowded – Maybe it's the floor staff from Macy's. Maybe local bankers working late. Whatever it is, this place is packed from 8-Midnight, then it suddenly thins out like a 30 year old's hair. Yeah, there are lots of suits, but also business casual, and some jeans and t-shirts. It looks like the LATE after-work crowd, getting in that last pint before hitting the trains for Long Island or New Jersey. The beer selection is good, especially the taps. Prices are not cheap. A glass o... read more

Amazing Beer Selection Draws Crowds – I'm part of a weekly Wednesday drinking group of 30 or so regulars who love to drink, geek out, talk and eat after work. We check out a different bar each week. We've been kicking around the city for 12 years. In that time we've visited several hundred bars (with repeats of faves). Ginger Man has an absolutely amazing beer selection. The food wan't half bad, however, the menu is limited. I had a decent sandwich. I would return in a heartbeat with a friend or two. For large groups, it's t... read more

Excellent Beer Selection in a Pleasant Large Space – I was glad I got to try Ginger Man last night for a drink with an old friend. It was exactly what we were looking for... it wasn't crowded at 8:30 on a Wednesday, and there was a really great selection of beers, both domestic and international. I went with a domestic IPA, which I enjoyed. The waitress was happy to provide advice when we asked her questions, and she was quite knowledgable and helpful. Ginger Man is really large also... this is a huge plus to me because I ju... read more

Boring..... – This just isn't my idea of a Bar.. You may enjoy it though, but i stopped in for a drink and was like WHOA?!? do i belong here? Everyone looked the same, and they were all either dressed up and looking like they just got off of work and they left there suit jackets in the car (some brought them in) And everyone was old, I seen alot of bald heads, pale bald heads.. The beer selection was cool.. The place looked nice, but i just felt wild out of place, there is no diversity in there and the place felt really stif... read more

Watch your bar tab in this place! – If you go here beware! We gave the bartender a credit card to run a tab, and we noticed that each time she added drinks to our check the last name on the credit card came up on the computer screen in letters easily big enough for patrons at the bar to read; the name stayed up on screen for about a minute after she had walked away. We noticed this early in the night and my friend joked about how easy it would be to simply pick a name off the computer screen and charge drinks to it. Well lat... read more

This swank pub caters to New York's upscale. – The Scene The dark wood interior, amber light, towering ceiling and iron-work chandeliers create an old-world atmosphere. The spacious booths, long polished bar, smoked-glass exterior and leather-upholstered back lounge would comfort any captain of industry. While lunchtime is more civilized, good luck even getting near the bar after work or on weekend evenings. The Draw Those 66 draft and two bar-pump handles aren't just for show. Tour the Western World with drawn pints or the ... read more

Beer, Beer, Beer – This place is wall to wall beer and it was great. The service is okay, but the beer selection is unbelievable. Check it out if your in the midtown area.
