Description
TALEA Beer Co.'s Bryant Park taproom is a woman-founded craft brewery and bar from Tara Hankinson and LeAnn Darland, designed as a stylish refuge from the Midtown bustle. The space nods to the neighboring New York Public Library with metal arches and terrazzo surfaces, while a long bar serves approachable beers, flights, and snacks. Reviews praise the cozy, airy atmosphere and welcoming staff, though the space is smaller than other outposts and flights are set without substitutions. Expect a young professional crowd in the late afternoon; after 6 PM, the energy and music pick up, making it less of a quiet evening spot.
