FYI... The Hurricane's taste awesome! And, if you get a mini-boot of it, remember that it is 4.5 shots and wine within!!! Are you ready to rock?!?
$5 Happy Hour Drinks include Sweet Tea and Hurricanes--can't go wrong with either one!
So...much...rum. HC's got 150+ options, including plenty of overproofs and spiced jobs, more than 30 each of dark and gold, and 40+ aged affairs. 続きを読む
Pig's Ass Sandwich: Thin shavings of Fiscalini Cheddar, nutty Fol Epi, and, er, pig's ass, with house-made bread and butter pickles whose bright crunch lightens each bite. 続きを読む
Arrive early at this best bar for birthdays to claim to prime barside real estate, and order a round of original cocktails mixed by rascally, white-jacketed gents. 続きを読む
The best dive bar in NYC is filled with regulars making efficient use of the low prices. The owners have banished TVs to promote friendly banter and there’s always the jukebox to keep you company. 続きを読む
Tony met up with David Chang at this “genuine dive bar.” As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
This bar is great when you are a Jazz music fan! Join the Tuesday night jam, it starts at 12 am. :-)
Awesome restaurant/lounge serving up a variety of dishes in the LES. The french onion soup is to die for and we also recommend the red snapper tacos. Yum!
This mellow LES lounge offers $5 drinks every night until 10PM. Try one of the martinis, kick back, and relax.
Great spot to enjoy a glass of wine and a cheese plate, plus their egg truffle is to die for.
Fun spot for a drink and to catch a live band. Come here during happy hour for some cheap drinks and a good time.
Need to 'woo' your date? This romantic French spot is perfect and light on the wallet, get $4 glasses of wine from 5-7pm Tuesday - Saturday
The owner Sunita is a sweetheart and she serves up awesome mixed drinks in this quiet, low-key bar amidst the chaos that is LES. Need some heat? Definitely try the jalapeno cocktails!
This is a great place if you enjoy cheap drinks and live music. They have special themes twice a week and on Tuesdays they offer different brands of beer!
A nice, relaxing lounge to grab a drink. Lines can be long on weekends but it's worth it, especially if you love a classic jazzy atmosphere.
What could be better than chocolate covered bacon? Eating it while playing foosball. Expect a big crowd but a lot of fun.
Vin Sur Vingt brings a little France to the West Village. It's cozy, intimate, and a great spot to impress your date. There are types of wine for everyone here, it doesn't disappoint.
We're obsessed with their sheep's ricotta cheese and black truffle honey bruchetta. Don't think, just get it. Pair it with the gnocchi di ricotta and a wine by the glass for a perfect experience.
It's dark, seductive, romantic, and a gem of a speakeasy. If you're lucky you can snag a seat on a couch.
Not quite a dive bar but certainly not an upscale joint, just a good local spot. They've got pool, darts, and even a basketball game to pass the time. Plus who can argue with free potato chips?
Enter Bemelmans in the Carlyle Hotel through an unassuming door off the lobby. Expensive drinks but one of the finest atmospheres in the city, complete with dim lighting and a piano player.
Great bar for sports fanatics. People who love to enjoy cheap beer and food should also give this place a try!
If you're a sports fan, stop into this neighborhood pub to watch the game with some great microbrews. Not to mention all the free popcorn you could ask for!
One of the best places in the city to enjoy a beer and a burger while watching the sun set. Come here after a nice walk along the Hudson and clear your mind.
Work space by day (outlets + WiFi). Bar by night w/ awesome wine list! Vibe = rustic hipster.
Such a cute place! You can actually hear each other talk. $10 glasses of wine $5 tapas $5 beers. Bartender will even play your ipod music.
Come here to relax after a hard days work, its the metaphorical equivalent to your favorite comfort food! Great service and food!
Go to Dive 75 and play Jenga, Scrabble and Yahtzee with game-loving patrons. Down a gimlet.
Awesome Happy Hour from 11am-7pm! $2.50 Bottles of Bud, Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Light plus so much more. Can you beat that?
Awesome DAILY happy hour 4-8pm: $3 drafts (GOOD drafts), $4 wells & wine, $5 cosmos & apple martinis.
This spacious rooftop bar has great views but the outrageously expensive drinks, ambivalent servers, rude bouncers and extremely loud music totally turned us off.
This rooftop is one of the most romantic spots in the city. We’re especially fond of their literary-themed drinks like the Tequila Mockingird or Jackie Collins.
Whether it is hot or cold, sunny or rainy, the rooftop is our favorite tropical oasis in the city. Go on Wednesday night for their rooftop BBQ for 8 bucks.
Get there early to take in the heavenly views of Manhattan while sipping on your favorite cocktail. Eventually, the masses will arrive and you’ll be fighting to keep your spot.
Head straight to the third floor with its retractable roof for some delicious tapas on a warm summer night – get the PB&J, Truffle Pops and Lobster Crack.
A great place to see and be seen – that is once you get past the bouncer. As expected, service is expensive and slow. And, don’t jump in the pool, you’ll be escorted out.
More than 50 beers by the bottle and 28 on tap. Craft, imported, Trappist. Don't bother asking for Bud Light here. 続きを読む
The bartender is always super knowledgable about the beer list, so don't be afraid to ask questions. P.S. the chocolate cake w/ mint ice cream = killer.
If it's warm, snag a seat outside with a Duvel Green and order up some moules et frites. If it's cold, cozy up on a couch with a date and a lambic. Then let the happy sink in.
Built before 1812, it was the house of African-American revolutionary James Brown. The first-floor tavern opened in 1817. It reopened in it's current form in 1977, after a short gap in operation.
Established in 1854 (or early 1860s) and operated continuously since, it is the oldest NYC Irish tavern. Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, & JFK have reportedly drank here. Women weren't allowed until 1970.
Built 1829. A "grocery & grog" store from 1852 and a tavern from 1864. Named Healy's in 1899 and alluded to in O.Henry's works. Renamed Pete's in 1932. Appears in numerous films and TV shows.
Established in 1868 and continuously operated. It originally faced the Hudson River, before the shores had been artificially extended and developed.
Established in 1880 and continuously operated. Known as a haunt for several prominent authors and artists of the 1950-60s, including Dylan Thomas and Jack Kerouac, among others.
An oasis away from the area's postgrad-filled sports bars, Terrior serves a large list of tasty vinos ($9-$18 per glass; $32-$199 per bottle), cheese plates, bar snacks and sandwiches.
'20s decor remains en vogue at this multi-story restaurant and piano bar, once a top speakeasy.
Here, nothing beats a dram of peaty, smoky 18-year-old Laphroaig single malt, except when it’s coupled with a savory lamb sausage roll or a wild mushroom shepherd’s pie.
Take advantage of the happy-hour special: Buy one glass of pinot grigio, Bordeaux or rosé and get the second one half off (from 5-7 p.m. daily). The cozy spot also has semi-regular jazz nights.
There might be no wine bar more radical than Terroir. This bustling spot aims to unsettle long-held wine biases: out with the Pinot and in with the Riesling.
This ultra-exclusive spot has so little interest in ordinary folks (that’s you and me) that you must request a reservation via e-mail if you want a drink after 9 p.m. (rosebar@gramercyparkhotel.com).
Drink the refreshing Greenmarket Melonball. The orange-tinged tipple is one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. 続きを読む
Try the house gin and tonic, a complex cocktail with little in common with your garden-variety G&T. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. 続きを読む
Try the Sweet Hereafter. Swapping in pisco for gin, barkeep Joachim Simo takes the straightlaced martini for a sultry Latin American spin. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. 続きを読む
Order the herbaceous Broken Mirror Skyscraper. A mix of absinthe, lime & muddled mint—w/ dandelion & burdock bitters—is chilled with slow-melting ice. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011. 続きを読む
Try the fried chickpeas, tossed with a savory mix of salt, cayenne pepper and pungent garam masala. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. 続きを読む
Fancy cocktails are nice but if you want to settle in & chillax try a Dave Pale Ale. It has a slightly sweet/almost bitter finish.
A total hidden gem of a wine bar, great to just chill out and enjoy a glass of wine or beer, whether alone or with company. You can't go wrong if you're in the area.
Soak in the great ambiance as your mixologists make you the perfect cocktail. Need a dose of euphoria, we recommend one of their cocktails with their House Absinthe.
The focus at this Italian-themed bar is luscious red wine paired with succulent sandwiches, from three-layered finger varieties to a dozen hot panini (speck with grappa-cured apples, please!)
Note to romantics: couples receive free truffles on Sunday nights, when Ayza covers its tables in candlelight and rose petals.
With 800-bottle cellars and 35 wines by the glass, Anthony Mazzola’s wine bars are slices of Italian heaven.
This was a go-to during my grad school days at NYU, Ace Bar was always used as the "example" for dodgeball.com & foursquare use cases. It's still the first place I think of when testing new features.
This place was ground zero for the blogger/Gawker scene in 2003-2004 and has always been a big hangout for the early dodgeball.com crowd. My brain is hardwired to use "The Magician" as a test search.
