After a long afternoon of museum going, one needs a beer. Bierocracy is conveniently located a couple blocks from MoMA PS 1. Low lighting, long communal tables, good selection of German and Czech style beers. The soft pretzels are well worth ordering, while the seasoned fries were fine (would have liked a little tub of mayo instead of ketchup). I enjoyed the Bayreuther Zwick'l (Rustic, copper-colored lager with a sweet, caramel-like body that finishes with just a slight bite). Beers come in a fun collection of mugs and bier steins. On an early Saturday evening (6pm-ish), plenty of young families and kids having fun along with someone celebrating a birthday, things were starting to get crowded when we left around 8:30pm. Overall seemed like a fun neighborhood place to gather some friends and drink a couple of beers. -
Alobar draws from the hipster playbook - low-key come-as-you-are vibe, all sorts of reclaimed stuff, mismatched furniture, old timey lighting, open kitchen, chefy riffs on comfort food. Fortunately they do it well. Baked Huevos Rancheros was a bowl of chorizo, eggs, blacks and rice, with a side of tortillas and avocado slices. A couple splashes of hot sauce was all it needed. Graceland Toast (brioche, peanut butter, and caramelized bananas) and Wild Mushroom Toast (Sunny Side Egg, Smoked Ricotta, red wine onions) kept the vegetarians more than happy. Slices of freshly baked raisin bread were enjoyed while deciding on entrees. The only disappointing item was the weak Bloody Mary. Alobar is conveniently located two blocks from MoMA PS 1, so if you find yourself in this part of Queens, I would recommend, especially for brunch.
