http://www.deliaslounge.com Delia's has taken the essence of Manhattan martini lounges and placed it in Bay Ridge. Trendy young hipsters party the night away here with a constantly evolving drink menu that always spans at least 14 variations of martini. Later into the night, upscale finger food can be bought to eat by candlelight. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.delmonicosny.com Though the building dates only to 1891 (the columns in front are allegedly from Pompeii), one version of Delmonico"s or another has been in this location since 1837. More importantly, Delmonico"s is considered to be the first actual restaurant in the city, and that"s a heavy load of tradition for the current incarnation to confront. The dining room--where bankers and brokers tuck into thick steaks and chops--is handsome in a Victorian sort of way, the dark bar is appropriately clubby, and the best thing to do here is excavate the dishes from the menu that has made the place what it's famous for (in order or preference): lobster thermidor, Delmonico steak (nowadays, a New York strip), Delmonico potatoes, and baked Alaska (skip the chicken ala king). Get there at 9 p.m. and almost have the place to yourself. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.thedeltagrill.com You don't have to flash anyone for beads in order to enjoy a bit of New Orleans flare in midtown. Alright, we know it's kitschy, but stop being a downtown snob for one minute. It helps if you have a margarita, possibly to wash down the alligator you just ate. Now that's cool.

http://www.dempseyspub.com Good ol' gregarious Dempsey's is notable for three reasons: 1) the daily "Bucket-o-Beer" special ($15 for 5 beers), which, for another five bones, comes with a side of hot wings; 2) traditional Irish music on Tuesdays, including a fiddle-wielding band; and 3) the dartboard, pool table, and "trivia night" trifecta. Sure, most Irish pubs tout like-minded treats, but few deliver them in the context of Dempsey's ultra-clean floors, unsullied walls, and uniformly jovial customers.

http://www.desirebarny.com At the door, there is a muscle-bulging bouncer wearing an Ed Hardy T-shirt. He is the gatekeeper to Desire, a bar that--on the weekends, at least--constructs a portal to Jersey Shore-style hedonism. The cocktails, which are served atop a glowing onyx bar, support this idea by name alone: Frisky Lemonade, Dirty Desires, Donnatella, Forbidden Fruits, and Double D's. If this is your jam, you can rock most effectively alongside Desire's crowd of partiers by attending happy hour. Deals include a "two for the price of one" on the food menu and $10 for three well shots. Jägerbombs not included. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.desmondstavern.com Opened in 1936, Desmond's Tavern is a traditional New York Irish bar, featuring live music Thursday through Saturday and a well-priced menu (corned beef sandwich with fries, $7). Fun without pretension, and with nice bartenders to boot, this large bar is a great place to grab a Guinness ($5) alone or with 30 of your friends. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.jazzatdetour.com Detour rocks because it has live jazz seven nights a week and no cover, although you do need to pick up a couple drinks. I suggest grabbing a table for two. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.deweysflatiron.com This place has nothing to do with the Dewey Decimal System, but rather was named after an old seaman, George Dewey. It has 70 plus beers, a pricey array of single-malt scotches, and a handful of sipping tequilas for the drinker in you. They also serve lots of traditional bar food. If you didn't figure it out already, there's not a lot of ladies hanging around here. So guys, have a bonding night out, and ladies, if you're looking for a little extra male attention, this may be your place. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.diabloroyale.com Gradually, the old margarita mills are being remade with food worth eating. This Mexican bar-cum-cafe; isn't afraid to pile on the chiles, and the glorious masa pizza called momocho features a fiery green sauce and little nuggets of bacon. There are some rather blase entrees, but tacos are the things to get, available wrapped in your choice of oversize tortillas. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.thediamondbrooklyn.com There's no shortage of bars in Greenpoint, but there are few bars like The Diamond. The beer is as upscale as beer gets, and standard Super Bowl domestics are nowhere to be found. The most recognizable available brew is probably Dale's Pale Ale, and it only gets more exotic than that. But each beer, no matter how cryptic the name (Haandbryggeriot Hesjeol, for instance) is accompanied with a brief flavor profile (in the case of the former: multigrain, peat-smoked). Beers are categorized by alcohol content for those looking to get the most buzzy bang for their buck, so that's convenient. The vibe is anything but upscale, though, and the Franklin Street space plays home to a shuffleboard and backyard gondola, which has been converted to permanent seating. With divey vibes and quality brews (and, oh, wine), The Diamond is a good neighborhood spot. --Shane Barnes Read more about this New York bar or club >>
What Dickas Bar lacks in typical gay bar glitz it makes up for in amicability. Without relying on a rotation of spaced-out, G-stringed go-go boys or headlining DJs, Dickas Bar is a haven for people looking for a break from the high-energy cruisefests of the West Village. Comfortable chairs, dependably fierce drinks, a charming pool table, a digital juke box, and a pinball machine create a low maintenance, typically East Village experience.

http://www.dillonscomedyclub.com This midtown restaurant-lounge has an Off-Broadway showroom, but doesn't mind rearranging the furniture in the main room to put on a show there, either. And with cabaret, improv, and brand name stand-up, there's comedy of one breed or another almost every night. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.dingdonglounge.com At The Ding Dong Lounge, punk (of the '77 variety) never died. The bar is festooned with old-school punk memorabilia, but even with all the Sex Pistols posters and anarchy symbols, it's almost too clean and airy. Even the graffiti in the bathroom seems suspiciously neat. Despite the uptown sensibility, it's hard to complain about a bar on the "Upper Upper West Side" that has atmosphere, good punk-rock DJs, and no yuppies. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.disiacloungenyc.com In case you're wondering, yes, the name is a made-up contraction of "aphrodisiac." Sickly hues of pink abound in this intimate, trying-too-hard-to-be-sexy lounge. The decor is cute, though, and the motley crowd is more Hell's Kitchen than midtown. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
The Distinguished Wakamba Cocktail Lounge is a real New York find, the kind of place that's not supposed to exist anymore except in indie films about the '70s, but there it is. It's a hole-in-the-wall with a wacky ambience to match its name, making it way more textured than your average sports bar—or average anything. The lounge looks semi-tropical/safari-ish on the outside, and inside there are miniature mirrored grottoes backing the bar, giving the place a sort of Goodfellas-meets–Boca Raton touch. But the real foci are the multiple screens for those who watch sports events like they were Dancing With the Stars. The sign outside dutifully tells you the schedule: "12:30 Mets at Pirates; 7 p.m. Royals at Yankees; 8 p.m. Devils, Rangers, Game 6." Even more important is the price chart, which is especially delightful from noon to 5 p.m.: "$3 domestic beers, $4 imported, $5 well drinks." Drinking at noon? Sure, why not? At any time, this place draws stragglers from Penn Station and the Port Authority as well as the office crowd and some ready-to-unwind school personnel. Distinguished indeed.

http://www.d36nyc.com Located in the center of Midtown, District 36 was once a clothing factory. Now, it's changed (sorry) into a massive dance club offering three separate levels and 14,000 square feet of bass-worshipping space. With the massive soundsystem, District 36 caters to the fans of electronic, house, and techno. Their inner decor is a bit swanky, from the dropped down crystal chandeliers on the main dance floor to the bold framed black and white street art. But don’t be fooled, scandalously dressed employees provide glow sticks with which you can rage. All are welcomed to break it down on their cushioned dance floor, with previous DJs such as Mark Farina, Dubfire and Luciano. Bottle service is available in private VIP rooms--but before you head out, remember their card minimum is $50. --Briana Cheng Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.divebarnyc.com What do you expect from a bar named "Dive 75"? If the answer is "not much," you're right. This nondescript neighborhood joint is always packed, for some reason, and it's not a bad place to grab a pint, but for atmosphere, look elsewhere. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.divebarnyc.com Dive Bar's muffuletta--the quintessential hero of New Orleans--won Best of Show in these pages, beating out several other bars on the West Side. The round puffy roll is layered with diverse cold cuts and two types of cheese, but most important is the olive relish that the other places failed to provide: chunky, oily, acidic, relentlessly green. It lubricates and elevates. Other bar food options at this tumultuous place, which runs late into the evening, include a great vegetarian Reuben sandwich, sub-par chicken wings, and a range of perfectly good bar burgers with excellent fries. The list of scotches and tequilas verges on the amazing, and the wine list ain't bad, either. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Not actually a hangout for professional divers, Diver's Cove was named after a former owner. The over-50 set hangs out here generally, drinking beer and watching sports on TV. As a result, it's a fairly mellow crowd. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Divine doesnat limit itself to just wine, but also serves up beer to the after-work crowd. But make no mistake, its extensive wine list, tapas, and cheese menus set the tone for this classy midtown establishment. To escape the bar scene, hit the lounge, inhale the smell of leather club chairs, and pretend youare rich. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.djoniba.com If you're bored by the same mundane exercise routines at your local gym, then Djoniba Dance and Drum Center will provide a breath of fresh air. Classes at Djoniba are soundtracked by live drums, and they are centered on African-based dance rhythms. The East Village dance studio has been open for over two decades, with an experienced staff to help you excel. Sample classes in Capoeira, Mambo, Salsa, and Joneeba, among others. Several classes of varying experience levels meet every day of the week. --Gabriel Herrera Read more about this New York bar or club >>
