Lovely little lounge serving up cocktail masterpieces. Come here on a dreary day and order the Stormy Weather to fit the mood.
True Japanese mixology bar. Great flavors and exotic mixes. Get the Tennessee Waltz even if your'e not a Whisky drinker. The lychee drink is also an A+. Great chill date place.
If you like martinis, try the Serenity. My other fave is the Quintessence (Jasmine infused vodka). Request a table to people watch from the window. No parties over 4 people.
Perfect spot to meet a client for deal-closer drinks and Mad Men-esque atmosphere. Leer más.
Get the "bartenders choice". Tell them a few ingredients you like and let them do what they do best. Intimate and cozy. Often live jazz.
Modern, dark atmosphere with some of the best cocktails in midtown.
To find the bar, take the elevator down and look for the gold rat.
If you're a whiskey enthusiast, love live jazz, & are looking for a cozy fireplace to warm up in front of on a cold winter day, you've come to the right spot. Be sure to make reservations on weekends.
The Jazz is amazing. The whiskey is amazing. If its your first time, the waiter might give you and your date complimentary glasses of whiskey!
1,000 whiskeys, free live jazz, and boozy bourbon and scotch friendly cocktails.
Hands down one of the best speakeasies in manhanttan! Luxury vintage atmosphere, amazing cocktails (especially the spicy one), and good looking mixologists. Take your out of town frans here to impress
Speakeasy-style bar that feels like having drinks at your rich friend's house. Excellent cocktails and a beautiful patio. Reservations recommended for peak hours.
This subterranean spot's only marked by a small plaque & doorbell you must ring to be admitted. Inside you'll find perfectly prepared, fresh-juiced, hand-stirred or shaken classic cocktails & punches. Leer más.
Ring the bell & wait for the maitre'd to stick his nose out. This is a fantastic Date Night spot with a true speakeasy feel. TIP: make a reservation for Mon, Tues, or Wed., otherwise be ready to wait.
cool speakeasy bar. there's no sign, you go down the stairs and the entrance is at the back of the building. there's a secret room behind a bookshelf. fridays and saturdays are 25+ to enter.
It's just a speakeasy, not a cocktail place like most others on manhattan. I would rather call it basement bar decorated with freaky dead animals. There's a disco ball, and it's pretty hipster style.
Hidden in the back of an art gallery, this spacious (predominantly standing room) speakeasy has well-trained mixologists. Ask for the bartender's choice; you can't go wrong.
Try chef Sue Torres’s addictive signature Torres Tots, with oozy Chihuahua cheese, chorizo gravy, chile de árbol, chipotle crema and scallions. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Leer más.
You enter this speakeasy through a phone booth at the back of Crif Dogs. Once you do, you’ll enjoy amazingly made cocktails – try the Staggerac or an Old Fashioned. Reservations are required!

Quiet, dark, private atmosphere. Good, strong cocktails. Our favorite was Benton's Old Fashioned. I regretted going after dinner because I was too full to enjoy the complimentary hot dogs we received.
Fantastic, creative fare similar but a bit heartier than ABC Kitchen's: (Must-have) Crab Toast, Duck Breast, Chocolate Strawberry Brownie, & refreshing "To Pretty!" Reserve & be back in a heartbeat!
Pineapple & lychee mojitos are good @ $6 during M-F 4-8pm HH. Deep fried squid legs is decent & Grilled Edamame is 1 of best edamame apps V & I have ever had! LC, pls make this a regular menu item. 😋
1 of my top swanky restaurants-bars to start or end the night! Rock-n-rolla meets Gatsby meets harem vibe. Good, fun food & drinks to match.
Try a bunch of apps instead of getting too many mains. Burrata, heirloom tomatoes, crab tower all amazing.
"Squid ink bucatini has big chunks of nova scotia lobster and coconut milk, and they’ve got this creamy burrata that you’ll dream about... short ribs are absolutely revelatory" via @spoilednyc
"Hangtown Fry omelette with bacon, caramelized onions, and crispy oysters; fried chicken wings with maple butter & a fried egg; and a Mangalitsa pork burger"
If you don't get a sunset shot with your popsicle/prosecco glass, did you really go here?
This is a scene. Maybe the scene. An opulent Spanish-style space with a bohemian air. Schnabels on the walls, celebs around the fireplace, outrageous cocktails. Come before 9pm to secure a table.
Get there around 7pm to avoid the reservation policy, and enjoy the $19 martinis and Warhol-covered walls.
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).
Skip waiting in line for the actual Rose Bar (which sadly seems to be filled with bridge and tunnel-ers) the bar right off the lobby is excellent and serves the same drinks in a similar atmosphere.
Dope nightlife, amazing cocktails, beautiful artwork! Be sure to arrive before 9 PM so you can guarantee admittance. Very strict door policy.
Dark mahogany. Red velvet curtains. Hell, red velvet everything. If you’ve ever fantasized about dining in a castle a la Beauty and the Beast, this upscale spot inside the NoMad Hotel won’t disappoint Leer más.
One of the UES's cooler, more hipster bars. Great cocktails, even better brunch (love the fried chicken & waffles!). Typical faux vintage-y Williamsburg-esque decor.
Fun place to meet up with friends after work for dinner and/or drinks! Their apps are delicious, particularly the mac & cheese and the mussels.
When you look in through the door, don't stop there. Go right in, it's a lot bigger than it looks. What a great vibe and atmosphere. The fish tacos were excellent with Valentina Mexican Hot Sauce
Great, reasonably priced food! Atmosphere is cozy yet refined. Try the avocado toast or Fried Oyster sandwich for brunch.
The Penrose medium done with caramelized onions will be the best burger you ever had.
First time here...relaxed atmosphere, friendly, attentive staff. Had the poached eggs with avocado on sunflower-seed toast..came with homefries and a small side salad...Excellent! #johnandrich
The baked eggplant appetizer & Mista salad are tasty and satisfying gluten free options - even though this spot has gluten free pasta to substitute for its signature Italian dishes
Unique spirits, fancy cocktails, local craft beers, southern and Brooklyn vibe.
Best martinis and bar snacks on the UES, not to mention the Bemelman murals play nicely agains the dark space and great jazz trio.
Great jazz music. Come on a Sunday night- it's not as crowded. Also, be warned that they strictly enforce their dress code. No shorts ladies and gents!
Whatever your budget, find a way to make a date night here. Drinks are expensive, but worth it. Stay after 9p for great music that will make you think you stepped back in time. Dress for the occasion.
Exceptionally nice cocktails for an indulgent date night (plus jazz after 9:30). Heads up they charge $25 'cover' to view said jazz.
Cafe by day and sake bar by night. In the afternoons they serve lunch, including an impressive pork katsu and seasonally appropriate Japanese vegetables.
Fun 4 groups & dates, great svc (thx Amy!) & tasty & ok-priced Asian tapas, dim sum, sushi & hibachi. Loved Steam Soup Dumplings, Oink Oink Fried Rice & Taste of Asia cocktail! Worthy of repeat visit!
Skip Nougatine next door & spend the extra $6! 2-dish lunch PF w/ comp 3-taste amuse bouche & 6-pcs of homemade petit 4's: chocolates,macaron,fruit gelée,& nut brittle. Uni & sea bass were my faves.;9
Even if you are not a Mai Tai fan the ones they make here are amazing. Plus they come in a cool tiki glass. The firecracker fish was also delicious! !
Wonderful place next to the beach. Amazing fish dishes and desserts too. Try the inverted pineapple cake dessert.
Awesome staff! Awesome food! They have a 3 course Chef's Tasting pretty much daily from 4:45pm to 5:45pm for $26 that was perfectly portioned! Enjoyed the nightly live music as well
The atmosphere is amazing. Put you're feet in the sand and enjoy the view and awesome food. Best shrimp cocktail and lava flows. Happy hour is from 3-5 but only includes limited drinks.
Amazingggg!! Loved the fish tacos in the barefoot bar as well as the coconut calamari! The piña cola dad are the best! We ate here 4 times on our honeymoon! Yum!
Great wedding memories @ this small beach-front luau w/ welcome orchid lei, private table server, live performers, 5-course authentic Polynesian food+open bar. Great pork + Mai Tai's & Blue Hawaiians!
the ninja turtle is my favorite. tastes like an ice pop! :) sample as many as you want!
Super cozy coffeeshop by day and bar by night. Came here for Wifi but was surprised by ambience and cold brew. Definitely visit if you're in the neighborhood.
This spot has the bonus of cozy sofas, but sadly no wifi after 5pm. The good news is, once you close out your workday, the cocktails and s'mores here make for a great happy hour. Leer más.
Unassumingly great Korean gojuchang drumsticks & live band - Lucky Chops (Thur's @ 9:30pm)!
Fun UES bar with a live band on Thursday's and more of a club vibe w/DJ on Friday and Saturday.
90+whiskeys+24 rotating craft beers on tap. HH Mon-Fri 11AM-7PM+ Wed-Sun 12am-4am. $1 oysters@HH + ALL-DAY@bar. Late Nite Eats Sun-Thur 'til 1am. Live Music on Thur@9PM + Sun@5pm. Dancing+DJ Fri+Sat
Great place for lunch. Request table outside overlooking sculpture garden. Then visit Vincent and the other impressionistic boys just across the hall. Perfect.
Bland-sounding Center Bar is anything but: a stylish refuge serving killer, uptown-classy small plates with live piano. The Moroccan-spiced halibut is a favorite. Leer más.
Yellowfin Tuna Tartare, Richard’s Soup, Crispy Skin, House-Made Spaghetti, and Atlantic Salmon, accompanied by Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé, Mareuil-sur-Ay nv. Pasta was full of crabmeat & al dente!
Head to the 2nd floor for a big bar, and grab a seat by the window for good ppl watching below. Good, strong drinks and lots of banker-types. Does not feel like you're in Times Square.
It's a pricey place but go for restaurant week and sit upstairs with the Jazz band! Yummy food, good music, and comfy booths!
You must try the Strawberry Gimlet. Absolutely incredible - like a fresh, liquid strawberry
An old fashioned speakeasy that allows smoking? Who knew! Great cocktails. Next time I'll have to try their food.
Pricier tourist trap w/ nicest H2Oront view in Bar Harbour! Must try: Clam chowder - more NE (Boston-style) than Maine-style. Crab roll was meaty but drowned in lotsa mayo. Fries were frm a frozen bag
HH Mon-Fri's 4-7pm: $1 East (mostly) & West coast oysters (some) off of menu selection of 10 varieties, 65¢ raw clams + $8 cocktails & beers. Fresh oysters (lil' sand), cocktail shrimp+steamed clams!
Even though I am not a cocktail person,every single one ( out of 5 cocktails I tried ) was great! :) oyster happy hour was very enjoyable. Oysters,lobster,truffle fries was all very fresh and tasty!
The King Cole Bar is great for business meetings - elegant, quiet, and historic. In 1934, the Bloody Mary was created here. The St. Regis is part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, a FORTUNE 500 company.
If you just dined at Asiate, they'll seat you faster! Phenomenal views of the city - ask for the big (best) table in the SE corner of the lounge (seats 8) - the NE most corner has the best seat for 2.
Make a reservation in advance, don't mistakenly sit at the bar, their cocktails are hit or miss, the views are known to be the best in the city. Go for brunch, tea time, or late night drinks.
Get here before 5 pm and you might get a seat by the windows overlooking columbus circle and central park.
$1 all East & West Coast oysters HH everyday 5-7pm w/ beer, wine & cocktail specials!
Pricey & slow svc but ambiance is worth it! My fave retreat to grab cocktails, lounge & play pool during Spring or Summer afternoons. ❤️ Philippe Starck-designed garden, library & glowing floors.
The Garnier cocktail, made with Mount Gay Rum, is sweet and refreshing; perfect for a summer afternoon on the waterfront patio.
HH M-F 3-6pm w/ $1 oysters & couple of drink specials @ Le Bar. Grab a seat outside for good Hudson River water views of yachts & downtown NJ. Otherwise, mediocre food & slow service.
Great H20 views of South St Seaport+Bklyn & ok 4 few cocktails+a nibble off-peak hrs & maybe hosting up to 300+ party but don't expect great prices, food or svc. Pizza wasn't great by NYC standards.
Built in 1930 by Sylvan Bien this Art Deco Hotel is part of the Upper East Side Historic District, designated in 1981.
To the left, the bar/restaurant everyone hangs out at. To the right, the "hotel guests only" lounge with crazy art work. Just lie -- you're in room #403.
Humphrey Bogart got married on the rooftop terrace! The Rolling Stones & U2 are among the many musicians who've stayed here. The hotel's look is artsy & includes pieces by Hirst, Haring, and Warhol. Leer más.

Great addition to Brooklyn with some amazing views of the city and best rooftop view of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Draft beers-$7-$8, $6 Corona, $3.50 fries, $5 chicken tenders, $3.50 hot dogs and $13 hamburgers. The food was good and the water views spectacular.
Great place with an amazing view at sunset. Cocktails are expensive but delicious and totally worth it !
Get a table on the East Terrace, where you can overlook the shops of Fifth Avenue from 23 stories up. Settle in and order a “Ning Sling,” a gin-based passion fruit mojito topped with lychees. Leer más.
Had a small birthday party here. The hosts and servers were gorgeous and couldn't have been more accommodating. The DJ was excellent. Exceptional views. The hors d'oeuvres were great.
Scenic view and beautiful interior. A wide choice of cocktails, good but too pricey. The waitress was grumpy
Upstairs frequently hosts private events, and thus closes to the public. It’s always smart to call ahead to make sure they’re open before you make the trip. Leer más.
Made TONY's 2016 top bars in NYC list! Prohibition-style bar w/ seasonal cocktails +fresh ingredients. Christian mixed sone super-creative tastes! My faves: Behind the Curtain, Moscow Mule & C. Vidal.
Not blown away by food & super-uncomfortable eating in a small space w/ NO AC on a hot day. Everyday HH seems decent w/ drink & food specials. We’ll def be back when cooler temps prevail!
Order the oddball "St. Feuillien Triple 9L Salmanazar" aka the "largest beer bottle in the world". Leer más.
Cozy neighborhood British gastropub. Recommend: scotch egg, fish and chips with mushy peas, pot pies and sticky toffee pudding. Great beer selection.
Try the curry club every Monday in November - great combo of British and Indian cuisine! #JWF
All the different types of toast are amazing - be adventurous and try to chicken liver and steak tar tar.
Go upstairs to the Japanese restaurant and go left through the unmarked door. Quiet, intimate, and great drinks. Loved the Smoke in Your Face whiskey cocktail - it's exactly what it sounds like.
There isn't a bad seat in the house, but if you're feeling fancy, ask for a table in the back room. If there isn't one available, sit at the bar to watch the talented team do their magic.
Super difficult to get in tonight. Ask to be seated in the bar room vs the library. Good cocktails and very good bar food- the cheese toast, the scotch egg and the ricotta is amazing.
A gorgeous speakeasy above an English Pub that serves $20 cocktails to remind you that you're still in NYC.
Check in with the hostess & try not to be a dick if there's a waitlist. Worth the wait, the cocktails are yummy and the back patio is perfect for a hot summer night. You have to order at the bar.
Sexy wallpaper, awesome booths, delicious drinks. My tip is to leave your name early, get dinner and drinks around the area, and then be ready for Raines at a minute's notice when they call!
Well mixed cocktails on and off the menu. Good music and chilled vibes for a spot on a main street. No food served any more.
Chill UES speakeasy w/ excellent, creative cocktails...esp "Maya Made" & "Unforgiven" made by Dan! Kitchen closes ~11:30pm. Just wish that food matched sophistication of cocktail menu & hip factor!
Entrance is on 75th St (btwn 1st / York Aves) behind 2nd Ave Deli on the 2nd Flr
To enter, walk down Cannons Walk alley and press the buzzer on the black door with the mouse placard.
Super cool downstairs; bartender brought me two free drinks. Upstairs has games; cool vibe all around with good beers which can also be affordable.
The Empire Hotel's rooftop lounge features live jazz on Monday night, and DJs Thursday through Saturday. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a long day of work—or a busy spell of weekend shopping.
The outdoor tables are usually reserved after 9pm, so dress nice and go early. You won’t have to worry about the line, and you’ll see the sunset over Lincoln Center. A beautiful start to the evening! Leer más.
Fantastic little spot to look down on Broadway, pretty quiet week nights, try the sangria
If you come here during Friday or Saturday primetime, get ready for popped collars and pick-up artists. Pretentious as hell. But the views and decor can't be beat, so come for a 5-8p cocktail instead.
Amazing view of city sights, $29 all you can eat brunch on Sundays! So many spots to sit at this rooftop bar and they have strong drinks!
