Needless to say, the hard work has paid off—Bronx Alehouse is quite the destination, from neighboring Manhattan College to the local “youth”, the Alehouse rarely sees an empty row of stools. Upon walking in, you’ll first notice the brick and wood interior, the meticulously planned décor, and of course, the popcorn machine, a tradeoff for the ubiquitous pool table. Oh, and the popcorn is on the house. But to focus on the popcorn is nothing shy of an insult. When asked what their pride and joy was, Brian Duffy, the daytime bartender replied, without the least trace of hesitation, “Our beers!” And beers they have—fifteen on tap, all but one consistently cycled throughout the seasons (loyalty to Guinness never wavers).
