Destination-worthy craft beer bar with rotating taps and solid bar snacks; great for beer lovers, but cocktails, no-sample policy, and pricing controversies divide opinions.
As Is NYC delivers solid gastropub performance anchored by strong food quality and exceptional bartender expertise on rotating taps. However, inconsistent execution and recent friction over pricing and sampling policies prevent a higher grade. The attractive industrial setting and loyal following make it a worthwhile destination for serious beer enthusiasts, though it falls short of the area's premier dining establishments.
One caveat: No free tasting policy; some only offer small paid pours
