Party Earth Review: Named after the classic novel by J.P. Donleavy, The Ginger Man is an upscale beer bar with a rustic vibe that’s a welcome addition to Murray Hill’s bustling bar scene. Wood-paneled walls adorned with Chimay and Guinness posters let patrons know that beer is the name of the game here, as do the massive menus boasting seventy drafts and 130 bottles of international suds. A loud buzz of conversation pervades the expansive space, as bearded beer scholars and white-collar professionals mingle at the long wooden bar or chat with their dates at the candlelit tables. Those looking for a quieter spot can take refuge in the small corner room, where groups squeeze onto leather couches to share samplers and decide which fresh brew to take home in their growler. More of an after-work spot than a weekend hangout, the bar is at its liveliest on weekdays when local workers descend in droves to unwind over whatever’s on tap or learn more about their pints in the popular Beer School. Energetic and noisy, but rarely rowdy, The Ginger Man provides a warm and unpretentious atmosphere that will appeal to any serious beer lover.

The Ginger Man Review

Tip from Lucas:

“If you really love beer, sign up for Beer School – the cicerones (ultimate beer masters) will teach you everything you ever wanted to know. If only this was a class in college…”
