2015 Winner: Stoddard’s

This gastropub’s handsome wooden bar is big: The hand-carved UK import stretches 30 feet. Its craft beer selection is quality: There are more than 100 varieties between taps, cans and casks. (Plus a stacked selection of cocktails and brown liquors.) Its history runs deep: Brick walls bearing framed brassieres nod to the 1868 building’s past life as a corset shop. And its crowds get thick: This is where pre-club crowds start the party right with booze and burgers.
