Featured Bars and Clubs


http://www.thompsonhotels.com/hotels/nyc/60-thompson/explore-hotel.aspx It's members only, ya plebes, so take your non-A-list ass to a dive down the street. Jason Pomeranc takes luxury seriously at his 100-room hotel, 60 Thompson (linens by Frette, staff uniforms by Cerruti), all the way up to the building's exclusive rooftop bar. A60's visitors are limited to celebs and those who pay out for a room at Pomeranc's pricey palace. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
This minimalist lounge opens at 10 p.m., so youad expect it to rock hard until at least 8 a.m. Sadly, thatas not the caseatheyall boot you out at 4. However, the stark design, white walls, and contrasting black furniture make for an interesting atmosphere. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
This dedicated sports bar has everything you'd expect. They seem to try other things like wine and cocktails but really only get by when it comes to burgers. The bar gets incredibly full come game time so plan ahead for a stampede. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
The red lights give the Abbey a goth feel, until you see the deer hunter game, throwing counter-culture out the window. When DJs occupy the booth, the music varies from Brit pop to rock, and the jukebox caters to those who peaked during the early a90s while worshipping indie rock. The area around the pool table is often packed, so unless you arrive early, donat even think about it. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.abilenebarbrooklyn.com Although this Carroll Gardens hangout is named partly after the Texas town, don't expect cowboys and honky-tonk here. On a recent Sunday night the only country-western vibe came from an iPod that mixed Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline with Cat Power, Built to Spill, and other indie-rock favorites. Those tired of fighting for a seat at the always crowded Brooklyn Social nearby will be happy to see there's ample room to stretch out here: Church pews and tables run along one wall, 17 bar stools line the extra-long oak-topped bar, and '60s-ish vintage sofas and cushy benches are in back. Futuristic chandeliers that resemble glowing molecular models hang over the bar while candles give off just enough table light to play Connect Four, Yahtzee, and other games.

http://www.acebar.com Like a dive bar version of Funtime Junction, Ace Bar has all the goodies a local could want: pool tables, darts, skee-ball, pinball, and lots of sweet collectibles lining the walls, such as an extensive metal lunchbox collection and a werewolf hologram. As far as dives go, this is as entertaining as they get. The amicable, talkative crowd livens up slower weekday nights, as does the eclectic jukebox, which proves that Hot Chip, N.W.A., and Roy Orbison can peacefully co-exist.

http://www.aceofclubsnyc.com Beneath Acme Bar, under the tables of people downing po-boys and catfish fingers, the tiny Ace of Clubs awaits. There is almost nothing inside it except some chairs, a stage, and bare black 'n' blue walls. Consequently, all focus is targeted at the band of the night, which ranges from pentagram-wielding shredders to scowling detuned headbangers to the screamo-incarnations of both. A disparate bunch of pop/punk/indie rockers punctuate this venue's show calendar, and the staunchly neutral interior is always ready to accommodate. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Every year brings more exclusive Meatpacking District clubsaand 2004 saw the opening of Aer Lounge. The big sell here is the outdoor smoking veranda, complete with heaters and comfy couches. The main level of this swish venue is a restaurant/lounge with a carpeted dance area and hologrammed images, offering the usual pricey bottle services and dining menu featuring conch fritters. The VIP members get their own downstairs space, private key (what is it with the private key?), and bar. If you pay enough, you shouldn't have to consort with the riff raff, we suppose.

This sliver of a bar, owned by the people behind the Grape and Grain next door, stocks so many beers you'll wonder where they keep them all. Six of them are on tap, brews from small craft brewers like Sixpoint from Brooklyn and Goose Island from Chicago. The bottles, both big and small, come from all over the world: Hitachino from Japan, Westmalle from Belgium, Green Flash from San Diego. It's a beer nerd's heaven with a simple set-up that allows for enjoying your beer without distraction. In the middle of the room is a long, communal wooden table; a counter lined with bar stools runs along the exposed brick wall, which is decorated with photo prints and lit by the glare of a TV hanging above. If you're hungry you can order the beer-steamed mussels or the sausages, which are also cooked in beer, plus oysters and charcuterie plates.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.agaveny.com The vibe is the Southwest by way of L.A., modern, breezy and as much about drinking and socializing as it is about eating. Low ceilings with exposed beams, slick adobe walls, cacti and polished steers skulls drive the Southwest theme home, as does the menu: Kobe beef fajitas, chile-crusted ahi tuna and blue corn enchiladas filled with chipotle chicken. There are smaller dishes as well, tacos and quesadillas filled with things like blue crab and carne asada. The wine list is small and affordably priced, but the real reason most people come here is the cocktails: margaritas made with fresh, seasonal juices, sangria splashed with tequila and more. Mexican beers and flights of premium tequilas are also available. Stop in during lunch for a special prix fixe meal, consisting of an appetizer, a main dish (including several sandwiches and quesadillas) and a margarita tasting.

http://www.agozarnyc.com There is a reason that this little Noho eatery is so festive. That would be its daily happy hour, which runs all night Sunday and Monday and from 5pm to 8pm the rest of the week, with two-for-one drink specials on mojitos and other specialty cocktails at the bar. Of course, there are other reasons to come here besides boozing. The restaurant serves up Latin American cuisine with a Cuban bent, including tapas like tiny empanadas, plantain chips with guacamoles and mini Cuban sandwiches. There are entrees as well, Cuban classics like lechon (Cuban roast pork) and shredded beef, plus dishes from other Latin American countries like grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce, paella, and chicken and rice. As one would expect for a place with such great drink deals, the atmosphere can be a bit raucous at times, especially in the narrow bar area in front. The dining room, painted in bright shades of red and orange and decorated with large colorful paintings depicting life in Cuba, is a little bigger and the vibe a little more laid-back.

http://www.ainsworthnyc.com This posh Chelsea restaurant is something of a monster, 6,000 square feet of polished wood and handsome leather seats and banquettes. Sleek lines are complemented with vintage touches like antique mirrors and damask wallpaper. It certainly doesn't look like a sports bar but plenty of people come to watch the game on one of the 40 flat-screen, hi-def televisions. The food is upscale pub grub, tweaked classics like sliders filled with lobster or sirloin steak, a goat cheese-stuffed lamb burger, grilled cheese filled with braised short rib, tuna tartar tacos and more. What would a sports bar be without beer? Choose from seven brews on tap, from craft beers like Goose Island to domestics like Budweiser, available in pints and pitchers. A small wine list and a selection of specialty cocktails like pomegranate margaritas are available as well. On game days, expect large crowds of dressed-up sports fans.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.aixnyc.com An attempt at acapturing the soul of Provence,a Aix serves snooty, but tasty inventions like sheepas milk yogurt horseradish and celery cocunut venison puree in a pastel, old-man setting. Although the wine list numbers well over 200, if the Francophilia is getting to you, try the Casino Royale 75 (champagne, Tanqueray, maraschino liqueur, orange and lemon, $12), or the Apple Manhattan (Makeras Mark, Berentzen apple schnapps, $12); you'll quickly be drunk.

http://www.albatrossbar.com A former biker bar turned gay hangout, Albatross makes anyone wearing lots of leather and chaps feel comfortable. Come for the cheap drinks, or just play a round of pool. If you're looking to be entertained, Albatross also has karaoke and comedy. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Join the multilingual multitudes for billiards in this Astoria hall. Itas $8 for two games, so bring your cash (and possibly a Greek-Spanish-English dictionary) for a night of beers and balls. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.alibiny.com It's hard to imagine what the owners were going for, trying to create a swank lounge in the middle of NYU/tourist central. Alibi may be stocked with the cushy banquettes and the fancy martinis, but it's quickly devolved into "Girls Wanna Have Fun" Thursday nights with $3 Buds and DJs over-reliant on the Top 40.

http://www.facebook.com/AliseoRestaurant#!/AliseoRestaurant?sk=wall The wine list-especially reds from the Marche-is of paramount importance at this Prospect Heights shoe box. The food is picnic-like, with no pastas and rather impromptu main courses, sometimes including a fennel-stuffed suckling pig. The cured meats also triumph.

http://www.all-american-male.com A last stop for bachelorette parties, strip joint All American Male tosses the anemic androgynous/hipster look for that of the corn-fed Midwesterner. Tall muscular men with leathery (but well-oiled) skin and thick necks saunter down the catwalk, wearing jeans so butt-tight you can see the freckles on their balls. Located on the fringes of Soho, these guys of every color give you something to feel patriotic about! Read more about this New York bar or club >>
