Valhalla

An airy, wood-paneled space flanked by elegant wide-plank tables draws a well-dressed crowd of young professionals. This Hell’s Kitchen spot boasts a notable imported beer list: 35 types of brew, including seven frothy Belgian beers such as the chocolaty Corsendonk. It isn’t just a suds haven, either: Scotch-lovers can select from among 30-plus single-malts. That ought to keep the Vikings satisfied.
