Burgers and Beer

New York continues to churn out spots where a quick bite meets a well-chosen drink, and Burgers and Beer sits squarely in that lane. At 170 W 4th St, in the West 4th stretch, you’ll find a straightforward place for eat-in or take-out orders that keep the lines moving. Over the counter, alcohol runs a gamut from beer to cocktails, while the back-of-menu quick items add a simple buffer for solo diners racing through lunch or dinner.

The bar edge here shows up during its happy-hour stretches, nudging beer selections into the spotlight and pulling in grab-and-go drinkers. Comfort food lines up beside hard liquor, turning the formula into something more than just sandwiches under glass: a tight menu built for speed without sacrificing the component that turns a meal into an outing.

The no-frills frontage keeps the door swinging at all hours, and the cellar stock tilts local enough that beer fans can eyeball a rotation without scrolling an encyclopedia. Cocktails ride shotgun, just in case a clear-headed beer isn’t on the menu.

Find the curb-side spot on the map: head to 170 W 4th St for the fastest route, or dial 212.242.6480 if the line’s long and you’d rather call ahead. The block sits between Washington and Wooster, where foot traffic keeps the sidewalk alive long after the lunch rush.
