About this venue

Editor's Take: One of the first true craft beer bars in NYC, d.b.a. remains a sanctuary for those who appreciate a fine pint and a quiet garden. Its no-frills, quality-first approach has made it a local favorite for decades.

A neighborhood staple since 1994, d.b.a. offers a rotating selection of world-class ales, lagers, and rare spirits. Our heated garden is open year-round.
