Unassuming coffee spot by day, hip cocktail bar and an arts venue by night. Great drinks and a Japanese-based menu. Grab a drink, and inevitably end up staying for the indie film screening or book launch that is happening in the bar.
Sleek Brooklyn bar boasting nostalgic, Vegas-lounge decor. Typically low-key, Goldie's pool table and Friday happy hour karaoke make for a change of pace from New York's more hectic venues. Book ahead for a spot.
Interesting cozy bar in the East Village. There's art all over the place and an overall eclectic kind of grunge vibe to it 🖼. Also some outdoor seating for the summer and mulled wine for the winter.
East Village ale house with sawdust on the floor and walls thick with memorabilia. The cash-only bar pours just two types of ale – light or dark – served two mugs at a time.
Tiki-themed queer dive with chaotic decor, frozen cocktails, and cheap shots. The large, no-frills backyard is the main hangout, with DJs spinning everything from 90s R&B to techno.
