Andy's Corner Bar brags that it "is the Greatest Bar on Earth." and we would heartily agree. Andy's has been on our list for some months since we started our NJ beer adventure. We have always heard great things but were even more impressed once we got there.
Andy's is a small place on Queen Anne Road in Teaneck or Bogota depending on what map software you are using, the exterior is unassuming but the inside is bright and alive, colorful and full of good vibes.
The star of the show is of course the mighty bartender George Gray, a veritable human encyclopedia of beer knowledge, who is always ready with a friendly booming welcome in his deep baritone voice and is happy to share his lagers and ales and vast beer knowledge.
Last nights selection included: BITBURGER PILSNER, PALM SPECIALE, DUVEL SINGLE, YOUNGS DOUBLE CHOCOLATE STOUT, GREEN FLASH WEST COAST IPA, WEYERBACHER HARVEST ALE, SOUTHERN TIER PUMKING IMPERIAL PUMPKIN ALE, STONE LEVITATION ALE, HARPOON OKTOBERFEST, and FRANZISKANER HEFE WEISS. You can get a taste in a tiny mini mug of anything that peaks your fancy.
Each beer is served with a tasty fresh pretzel. Andy's does not serve food but you are more than welcome to bring your own food in. It is BYOF not BYOB. Our next trip we plan to grab some great sandwiches at Little Phil's and then enjoy them with some great fresh beer at Andy's. If you don't like beer, and we know a few people who don't, there is a full selection of good liquor and some wine.
Andy's is named after George's dad who was involved in bars in the area since 1949. The current location has been here since 1999. It is a truly great neighborhood bar that is worth a trip from anywhere. Last night there were a lot of local regulars but as newcomers we were very welcome and were making new friends and sharing beer stories in minutes.
There is a reason that Beer Advocate gives Andy's an A+ and Pub Crawler says "Oustanding." list en to Simply Beer Podcast
