Sorry, we are no longer accepting reservations for children's parties! Gatherings with small children will be asked to leave if they are deemed disruptive to other guests. //Beer Street South, the larger second location in the family, opened in the heart of Prospect Heights in February 2020. Despite the adverse timing, Beer Street South has continued in its predecessor's footsteps by serving the best, most sought after beer produced in and around New York City, along with a full bar that emphasizes locally produced spirits, wine, cider, & even sake, all of which are offered on draft as well as traditional formats.Named after a 1751 print by English artist William Hogarth to illustrate the merits of drinking beer over gin, Beer Street began in 2011 as a humble beer and tobacco shop tucked on a quiet street in Williamsburg, before converting to New York City's first locally focused beer bar known for its warm, attentive hospitality & thoughtfully curated, constantly rotating selection.

    In a word—outstanding! This was our second visit to Metropolis, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Maître d' Isaiah, who set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our server Ira was not only attentive but also knowledgeable, offering insight into each dish with enthusiasm that made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Chef Sherry's culinary creations were a true work of art—both in taste and presentation. Each bite was a revelation, and the appetizers in particular were nothing short of spectacular. If I could describe it, it was like a celebration of flavors in my mouth— my taste buds were dancing with delight and craving more after every bite. We've dined at top restaurants all over the world- but Metropolis stands out, to us, as one of the best. Chef Sherry, thank you for making this Valentine's truly special. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience!
