Bridge and Tunnel Brewery (Craft Beer & Brewery in Ridgewood NY)

Bridge and Tunnel Brewery sits on the fringe of Ridgewood, Queens and Liberty, New York, and has turned a 2012 garage experiment into a bona‑fide family‑run microbrewery. In a short few years the place has scooped the 2023 NY State Governor’s Cup, a clear signal that their mix of tradition and eccentric technique isn’t just flash‑in‑the‑pan.

The taproom boasts 16 rotating taps, offering everything from the award‑winning Bear and Bunny Sour Porter to the irreverently titled Get in Shut Up, which arrives with a side of genuine NYC bagels (the founders once thought a sour porter was a joke). A Mango IPA can sit comfortably next to a Hazelnet Brown Ale, while reclaimed wood and metal give the space a dark, industrial feel. Regular comedy nights, food pop‑ups, a vintage arcade cabinet, and a dog‑ and kid‑friendly policy make it feel less like a brewery and more like a neighborhood hub.

Add a few games, a video machine and a commitment to community, and you’ve got a place that drinks deeply from the well of craftsmanship while keeping the vibe as inviting as a good pint after a long day.
