Proletariat

"Proletariat is for the beer lovers out there and a good spot to come after a long day of work. Their focus on ‘rare, new, and unusual beer’ makes it fun to try something different that you’ve probably never heard of. Overall, it’s a chill spot to hang out. Plus, they take credit cards!" - Champions

"The Proletariat, an East Village beer bar that closed after 10 years this spring, will reopen at 21 East Seventh Street, between Second and Third avenues, on June 17." - Luke Fortney

"Proletariat, East Village by Champions. Proletariat is for the beer lovers out there and a good spot to come after a long day of work.

"Ask someone to characterize a quintessential, somewhat-snobby beer bar, and they’ll inadvertently describe Proletariat every time. It’s extremely dark and full of framed cartoon drawings, there’s a tiny chalkboard of the daily-changing draft list, and the East Village space is about as wide as an Amtrak train car. Not to mention, most people in here look like they spent a summer in Vermont preserving maple syrup lines and learning how to grow malt." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren
