"Came here tonight with my family and friends with a party of 10 period we showed up at about 7:30. We ordered food and drinks. Ruth was an absolute rock star! Not only did she get every single order right?But she kept the table clear comma and kept the drinks coming long after we had finished our food. I honestly don't know how she was able to keep it all together.But for the weekend of my cousin's wedding comma this was perfect. The bar is a perfect combination of an efficient dive and rock and roll spot. Decor was appropriate for the spot. 10/10 would return!!! Special shoutout to Ruth!!!"

"Tucked away in Manhattan’s storied Greenwich Village, The Peculiar Pub has long been more than just a bar—it’s a surviving relic of New York City’s bohemian past, a cozy sanctuary of amber lights and dark brews and everything in between. While so many bars in the city reinvent themselves to chase trends, the Peculiar Pub remains defiant and endearingly itself. Peculiar pub was first born in 1982 on West 4th by a couple who had previously worked in a deli that featured a number of different international beers. They certainly took that to the next level and focused on creating a pub dedicated to the brewer’s arts. When it opened, Peculier was ahead of its time, boasting a beer list that was downright audacious for the era. You see, back then most bars were slinging the usual suspects: Bud, Miller, Coors, maybe a Heineken if they were feeling fancy. But Peculier came out swinging with a selection of over 300 beers from around the globe, including hard-to-find imports like Tusker from Kenya and Beer Lao from Laos. In a city that hadn’t yet caught the craft beer bug, this was nothing short of a foamy revolution! Thus my beloved Peculiar Pub gained a cult following. In 1987 they moved to a larger venue further east, but they kept the same vibe and moved many of the wall decorations and their cult following followed. The eclectic lineup they offer reads like a passport of brewing history. Long before microbrews were buzzwords, this bar was serving Trappist ales, obscure German bocks, and curious Asian lagers to college students, poets, professors, and wayward souls of the Village. Its ambiance is still a delightful contradiction: dimly lit, slightly grimy, with walls covered in vintage beer signs and an unmistakable late-1970s energy. The tables are scratched with decades of conversations and carvings; it isn’t slick or polished—it's authentic, preserved not by design, but by inertia. Generations of NYU students have adopted it as their second living room. A place to argue about philosophy or music over a $6 Belgian strong ale, or to learn the hard way what 11% ABV tastes like after midnight. Many longtime patrons wax nostalgic about the days before the city sterilized much of its character. The Peculiar endures because it never tried to outgrow its soul. In a city that’s constantly bulldozing the old to make room for the new, The Peculiar Pub stands as a beer-stained monument to the weird, the welcoming, and the wonderfully out-of-step. It’s not just a bar—it’s a neighborhood institution, a faded flag of Village counterculture still flying proudly in the foam of a 17oz Schneider Weisse. With the background out of the way, I will first give a list of all the countries represented on their beer menu: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Barbados, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, England, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Holland, India, Italy, Japan, Jamaica, Korea, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Vietnam, Ukraine, USA – and the USA beers are further divided into State of origin. In terms of food, you are getting the standard pub fare here with extremely reasonable prices. I mean, where else in NYC can you find a $10 burger worth eating? Food isn’t their specialty, but offerings will stick to the ribs and satisfy. If you are looking to pop back to the 80s and see what the Village really looked like… this is an excellent way to do just that!"
