  Spuyten Duyvil
The origins of the spot's name, which is a bastardization of the old Dutch "spuit den duyvil" or "in spite of the devil," may have something to do with its beer selection (one category of which is labelled "Flemish").
It is presumably unrelated to the channel that divides Manhattan and the Bronx, which shares the same moniker.
Spuyten Duyvil is a smart, cosy bar which first opened September 2003; there are six ever-changing taps and a cask-conditioned beer engine, all pouring microbrews and unusual imports, and a truly amazing selection of bottled beers from around the world.
