Lucy's is named after the Betty White of Alphabet City: a beloved, alcohol-distributing grandmother figure who presides over a motley mix of locals, regulars, and neighbors. From the sheet-covered windows, you can tell that this quintessential dive is something more than a quintessential dive-it's a clubhouse. People know each other's names here. Fitted with two pool tables, non-seasonal Christmas lights, and neon beer signs, it has all the dive-bar conventions minus the faux-antique decor of neighboring bars--everything in here has aged through genuine repeated use. Make sure to say hi to Lucy when you drop by; she'll be smiling behind the bar. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Desperate for a new bar adventure on a recent Saturday night, I sent out calls to fellow lushes. When only two random friends agreed to go out, I wondered if they would like this excursion and each other. A very long subway ride on the G to Greenpoint Avenue did not soothe my initial apprehensions, nor did the lengthy walk over to Franklin Street, where we passed the extremely gaudy Polonaise Terrace, quickly followed by a Live Poultry Slaughter sign. My anxiety dissolved once we entered the tri-level bar that is Lulu's. This Brooklyn funhouse takes the simple equation of games plus alcohol equals partay to new levels with its retro carnival-themed space. Case in point: After one round of the arcade game Skee-Ball (Google it if you're too young to know what this is), the three of us instantly bondedaalthough the round of gin and tonics ($5) probably helped too. As new BFFs we migrated over to the bar's sparkly blue stools and sampled the Kentucky Scurvy ($3), a potent blend of Maker's Mark, grapefruit juice, and lime. As we listened to the DJ play everything from rock to reggae, we confessed our haunting memories of '90s fashion (baby tees and flannel shirts?!) before calling it a night. A pounding headache the next morning reminded me that I didn't need to return for any more Kentucky Scurvys, but I would gladly trek back if only to sample the free cheese-and-tomato po' boys (a treat offered from 6 to 10 p.m.) and, of course, to perfect my Skee-Ball skills.

http://www.lunasabar.com This East Village spot basically takes the traditional Irish pub formula and adds a modern, minimalist sheen to it. Its name roughly translates from Gaelic to "August," which refers both to month the bar was born and to an ancient harvest festival. August is also a great time to enjoy its quaint backyard, where ivy-covered walls surround a handful of wooden benches. During colder months, you can settle in at the bar and watch the game on one of several HDTVs. The owners regularly hang exhibitions from artists they like up on the red brick walls. The bar serves pub fare like bangers and mash, fish and chips, and burgers along with more upscale entrees such as pan-seared salmon and wild mushroom ravioli to go with the 11 beers on tap. Come in during the week (Mon-Fri, 4pm-7pm) for happy hour, where a variety of drinks and appetizers are half-off.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.lurefishbar.com Lure Fish Bar was formerly Canteen, and guess what? The name changed, but it's still a high-end, high-maintenance, high-price kinda place. By day a restaurant that serves American-style seafood and features a raw bar, once the sun sets, Lure morphs into a fancy night spot. Its location, across the street from the Mercer hotel, only accentuates its popularity with the "in" crowd. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
