http://www.megurestaurants.com Subtlety isn't exactly a virtue here. A humongous temple bell, weighing more than 800 lbs, hangs over an intricate Buddha ice sculpture in the main dining room. Everything exudes sleekness and sex appeal, from the smooth leather banquettes to the glowing red mural. As you can imagine, this place attracts a lot of high rollers; fortunately, the 13,000-square-foot restaurant can hold them all. The kitchen prides itself on its Kobe beef from Japan and its cousin Wagyu beef from the United States. They serve it wrapped around foie gras, grilled on a river stone, and raw and thinly sliced on an igloo of ice. There is also a serious sushi menu and a long list of Asian-style entrees. Serious big spenders can opt for the seven-course prix fixe menu ($145) with an available wine or sake pairing. If you're having a drink in the upstairs lounge overlooking the dining room, you have plenty of choices; the wine list reaches 600 varieties and there are more than 60 types of sake.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about this New York bar or club >>
"Right about here is where go-go boys used to dance" my friend remarked one Friday evening about our table's location as we sipped bourbon cosmos at M&R Bar. He was referring to the last occupantsathe Slideaan infamous gay watering hole where free shots were given out to courageous topless imbibers. Since June, this downstairs space has been reincarnated into the new home of the M&R Bar, a popular place that used to exist a few years back on Elizabeth Street. Owners Michael Howett and Richard Bach hope to entice old and new patrons once again with an extensive wine list and select food menu. Warm boudoir-red hues, nude paintings, and wrought iron details have helped draw people back as this intimate casualness provides welcome relief to the Bowery's meatpacking-ization. M&R's interior coziness, not to mention strong drinks, quickly melted me into the weekend, making the bourbon cosmo well worth the $11. After finishing that aperitif, exotic plates, such as caramelized onions and figs ($4), merlot-infused Irish cheddar and Parmesan Reggiano ($9), and tapas-esque dishes ($5) fueled my salty snack addiction. Thankfully the second drink I ordered, the Fuzzy Valencia ($11), an inspired-whiskey concoction, had enough V.O. shaken into it to make me not mind the extensive Red Hot Chili Peppers songs that made the bar feel less speakeasy and more circa 1993. But as my friend remarked, thankfully no one was shirtless. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.m1-5.com Like many Tribeca establishments, M1-5 has the edifying spaciousness of a warehouse. On slower nights, this leaves the perimeter of the 18-foot-ceilinged room--featuring a cabana section with zebra-pattern cushions, a pool table area, and an entire wall dedicated to, again, zebra-pattern cushions--feeling quiet lonely, which happily encourages the crowd of after-work types to gravitate toward the center of the room, an ovular bar with an extended "halfsy hour" (six-plus hours of half-off drinks during weekdays). And though there are eight plasma televisions surrounding this hub, the sound is always turned off. The Jay-Z-blasting DJ knows he's better at setting the mood, anyway.

The first challenge: Say MacMenamin's three time in a row quickly, then say it backwards. If you can't do it, drink a beer. Then drink another beer, because you're in the middle of the Fulton Street Mall, a sad shopping area that no one should be exposed to. Wave to the tourists on your way out.

http://www.patinagroup.com Shopping is a sport. But the easily fatigued need a time-out-and-jump-start-brew. Amid Herald Square's hubbub, catch a breather in Macy's Cellar Bar & Grill (downstairs). Set down the bags and refuel with a pitcher of Brooklyn ($16) or Rheingold ($15). Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.madrivergrille.com An Upper East Side sports bar dressed up as a Vermont country inn. Drinkers here are young, rich, and overstressed. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.madamgeneva-nyc.com Madame Geneva incorporates the British-Colonial flair of adjacent restaurant Double Crown, adding low-lit intrigue and a whole lot of gin. "Madame Geneva," or the 18th-century phrase for gin, is top-quality here, and served in a variety of clever ways. The Smoked Ribena Collins, for instance, mixes Haymen's Old Tom Gin with lemon, smoked Ribana blackcurrant syrup, and soda. The AvroKo-designed interior is, of course, lauded for its combination of English luxury and Southeast Asian ornamentation, as demonstrated in the room's multitude of prim leather seating and ornate, globe-like lamps. Despite the anachronistic setting, the perpetually well-groomed patrons always blend in with ease. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.madamex.com The velvet furniture, red lights, and overall suave atmosphere of Madame X brings to mind bordellos, passion, and eroticism. Snag one of the plush sofas in the back room and listen to live jazz or a hip-hop DJ, or swing by the outdoor garden to have a smoke; the latter's full of lively conversation. By the end of the evening, the crowd generally takes a more salacious turn, and public displays of affection are rampant in the dark corners. Choose your locale wisely.

The difference between this bar and all the others on Bell Boulevard is the '80s music that constantly leaks from the sound system. There is a backyard area to enjoy the sunshine in warm weather. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.maggiesnyc.com Opened in 1974 by an Irish-immigrant couple, Teddy and Maggie Whelan, Maggie's Place has since been taken over by the couple's two sons. An unusual homey Irish pub smack in the middle of Midtown, Maggie's Place offers perfectly-poured Guinness, and 14 beers on draft and more by the bottle. The dinner and lunch menus offers pub fare and a cut above: entrees like rack of lamb, tuna steak, and homemade pies. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
The L.E.S. swarms with wandering zombie-people on Saturday nights, though the Magician has developed immunity to such rowdiness. You will find cheap, cheap drinks ($2.50 during happy hour!), but the crowd never settles here, as seats are always readily available; the Magician is more of a pit stop. The interior design--a combo of black-and-white tiles, neon clocks, a glowing jukebox, and a mailbox(?)--furthers this idea, making the place look like a 1950's diner with the lights turned off. But that's OK: Use the Magician as a cut-rate spot to fuel before a night on the L.E.S., or as a wind-down afterward. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.maguirespublichouse.com A pub with great (and cheap) wingsacould life get any better? Lots of beers grace the long, dark bar, and a sports game is never hard to find. The bar staff seem to like their jobs, but never enjoy them so much that they donat serve up orders quickly. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Malachy's is an Irish-style neighborhood pub that serves hearty, meaty food and hearty, meaty beer. The crowd is mostly regulars. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.mamasfoodshop.com Sweet simplicity reigns at the newly opened Mamaas Bar, sibling and neighbor of bustling Mamaas Food Shop. Thereas no sign on the door at this cozy, low-key, a40s-style neighborhood joint. Grab a cheap bottle ($4), one of the Brooklyn Brewery beers on tap ($4), or a shot of Mamaas homemade flavor-infused vodkas, which include ginger, raspberry, and cherry varieties. Kick back and check out the hot, bike-riding barflies and delicately assembled jukebox catalog. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
First-timers to this red-lit den in Williamsburg are greeted by its owner, Baron, an energetic dreadlocked Dominican, who runs around taking photos of friends, both new and old, and eliciting sounds from odd instruments (or objects) strewn about. The five-month-old bar is his living room: comfortable old couches, music to move to, a wooden dancefloor begging to be worn out, and photos of his mom and grandmother watching over the place. There's even an enclosed alcove for smokers who don't want to throw on a coat and gloves every time they want a cig. But what makes this house party really stand out is the cocktail menuaa well-thought-out list with a Latin American twist. Sweet guava margaritas and well-muddled caipirinhas ($6 each) are among the offerings, but the real star is the bar's namesake drink, the mamajuana (a blend of herbs, spices, leaves, and Brugal rum; $5), which is considered to be an aphrodisiac and a natural form of Viagra in the Dominican Republic. After one of those, it is quite possible that even the most chill party guest will be going all night long. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.manchesterpubnyc.com Whether you prefer Brooklyn ales or Guinness draft, your bartenderas got it at this Murray Hill pub. Be sure to grab a bar stool early (I suggest not chatting with the boss after clocking outagrab your jacket and be the first out of the lobby) because this place gets crowded by 7 or 8. I dig the digital jukebox, so get the tunes rolling before your coworkers realize what theyare missing. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.mancorarestaurantandbar.com This Peruvian restaurant relocated to the East Village after outgrowing its Brooklyn digs in 2004. Named after a coastal region of northwestern Peru, its menu is filled with seafood like shrimp sautéed in garlic, sweet potato-encrusted red snapper and seven different ceviches featuring everything from salmon to squid. Not everything is from the sea, including meaty dishes like grilled sirloin with chimichurri and Peruvian rotisserie chicken. If you just want to stop in for a Peruvian beer or pisco sour, you can always just order a few tapas at the bar. Also available: margaritas, tropical cocktails and several affordable house wines. The whole place has a lively nautical theme with fishing nets, starfish and an octopus painting contrasting with more subdued design elements like exposed brick walls and flickering tea lights. During brunch, you can get entrees such as grilled steak and eggs or a salmon omelette with a cocktail for under $10.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.mandarinoriental.com The Mandarin Oriental, located on floors 35 through 54 of the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle, represents the newest in hotel opulence. All 203 of the guest rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that show off views of Central Park, the Hudson River, or the Manhattan skyline.
