Today I ventured to a few NYC pubs, but the one that really impressed me through technoligy was George Keeleys (485 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10024). As all really good pubs, the space wasn't huge, nor was it catered to the Bud or Bush crowd.
When I first walked in, I was awakened with smiles, a clean smell and a board with roughly 22 micros on taps; along with a cool electronic beer menu behind the bar; which I will speak about later.
Everyone here was full of worry-free thoughts and a hunger for great beer. As I was waiting for my friend Heriberto (a good friend who I introduced to the beer scene) I saw that the entire bar was filled with a wide array of ages; from the early 20s to the ripe age of 67 (I asked a random senior). Regardless of status, people were kind to one another and laughed endlessly.
Now, for the electronic menu board behind the bar. At first I thought it was a typical beer menu but as I continued to look at it, I saw that it's top portion kept their avid drinkers updated on interactions via Foursquare, Twitter and Untappd, when I saw this I had to definitely look for my name.
The coolness didn't stop there. What made this board even cooler was how it monitored which kegs were recently tapped and how much beer was still left (similar color concept of a phone battery). You can look below for a picture that shows what I spoke about and more.
So the next time you are in NYC, please pay this place a visit; you won't regret it.
