Much is asked of New Yorkers, from high rent, congestion, overstuffed subway cars, and extreme weather conditions, to crowded tourist traps, inconsiderate assess who stand in front of subway doors, and dealing with being attached to a country that is determined to repeatedly vote against its own interests. For this it is fair that we ask and receive some things in return. 

We ask these things as citizens, family members, customers and as members of various groups. When forking over that hard earned cash that's made just a bit more discretionary by subjecting ourselves to living with perfect strangers it is right and fair that we receive in return something of value and quality. Perhaps a steal is too much to ask for but a fair deal nonetheless. 

Prices continue to rise everywhere, the beer scene being no exception. So what are we getting for those ducketts? There’s the marked up pint. What else? 

My  top  priority  in  a  beer  bar  is  naturally  the  beer  but  that's  not  all  that  goes  into  my  preferring  one  place  to  another.  Many ingredients  get tossed into that meat grinder of judgement. Depending how well the various aspects of any one bar mesh  determines  the  final  reaction.  Among  complementary  aspects  that make  beer  taste  even  better  are  location,  clientele,  kitchen,  television  (the  fewer  the  better),  and   <a href="http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/reverb-evolution-architectural-acoustics/" target="_blank">acoustics</a>,  by  which  I  mean  both  ambient  noise  level  and/or  background  music,  if  any.

Again, what are we getting in return for those thrice taxed dollars? General ambience,  heating during the cold months,  some television (say it with me, “the fewer the better”),  perhaps pretzels, and  water.<sup id="a1">[1](#f1)</sup> A convivial bartender. Now we're talking, now we're getting somewhere. And what do you have for food? I see a nice spread on the menu but can it be trusted? 

If  you’re  going  to  spend  time  and  money  drinking and  eating  at  a place  you want some reassurance as to the quality of the products.  Caveat  emptor  and  all  that  carpe.

One  of  the  most  natural  things  to  offer  alongside  craft  beer  is  food.  On  an Epicurean  level  beer pairs  well  with  <a href="http://store.brooklynbrewery.com/brewmasters-table" target="_blank">about  any dish out  there</a> and there are few things more adept at creating a convivial atmosphere than drinking and eating. 

Going  to  a  bar  should  be  a  happy  occasion.  The  more  things  you  have  to  look  forward  to  when  you  head  out  the  better your  chances  of  enjoying  yourself.  There's  the  camaraderie of a close group of  friends,  the  prospects  of  attracting  new  people,  catching  up  with  old  acquaintances,  and  of  course  enjoying  your  libations.  I  prefer  my  beer,  as  you  well  know,  but  whatever  it  is  you  drink  make  sure  it's  something  you  enjoy.<sup id="a2">[2](#f2)</sup>   

## Food & Beverage

Another  feature  to look forward  to  when  heading  out,  and  increasingly  so,  is  the  grub.  The  food  offered  at  craft bars  is  becoming ever more spectacular  and  would  be  unrecognizable  as  pub fare  if  it  weren't  for  the  dozen  or  so  taps on the wall.  It's  not  just  Buffalo wings  and  onion rings that  can  be  appreciated alongside a pint nowadays.  <commit_msg>Update 2016-12-23-clean-food-please.md<commit_after>---
