Coney Island Brewery Named Best of 2016

In a category labeled Best of New York Nightlife 2016, the editors of Grub Street tapped the Coney Island Brewing Co. on Surf ave. New York’s Best Beachside Beer Hall. The brewery located in front of Keyspan Park at 1904 Surf ave. was welcomed back to Coney Island last summer after it’s diminutive W.12th st location was destroyed by Sandy.

Not only can you take a tour of the brewery and try their samples which includes  the popular Hard Root Beer, in addition food may be ordered from neighboring Peggy O’Neill’s.  

Here’s what Grub Street has to say:

“While breweries continue to pop up boroughwide, with Strong Rope simmering oatmeal stouts in Gowanus and LIC Beer Project fermenting beers in industrial Long Island City, their locations leave something to be desired. Especially when compared to the salt-breeze setting of Coney Island Brewing. Unveiled in September, the brewery has beachy blue walls, boardwalk-style floors, and a steel bar where Eric Hernandez serves beers every bit as thrilling as the Thunderbolt: a whiskey-cocktail-inspired Hot Toddy ale and Belgian-style Trapp’d on the Cyclone. Come summer, the patio is the perfect après-beach roost for toweling sand off toes while hydrating with a Mermaid Pilsner.”
