http://www.vapornyc.com More bars should come complete with their own special effects, we think. This new Murray Hill lounge, from the co-creator of bed-themed bar Duvet, features mist machines at the front-room bar and every bottle-service table. Thrusting your face right in it might make you look like kind of an asshole, but we imagine you emerge with a desirably dewey J. Lo glow. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Vasmay used to be the landmark lesbian club Meow Mix, but thanks to a makeover worthy of the Queer Eye folks, this tiny bar is now a local dive geared toward the dudes. With mismatched flea market chandeliers, a pool table, and a kickass jukebox, this comfortable, laid-back spot is like the rec room you always wish you had, where the music is loud, the locals are friendly, and the beer is always cheap and cold.

http://www.vbar.net Vbar, the Greenwich Village predecessor of Vbar St. Marks, is the more studious of the two. Located in the heart of NYU-ville, it mimics the dormitory lair of a brooding philosophy major, wherein books, Roman statues, and emptied bottles are displayed on shelves circling the room. Mac-equipped grad students line the wooden countertops on the left side of the room, directly across from Vbar's comprehensive-and reasonably priced-bottled beer menu. Naturally, the Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre (brewed with raisons and beet sugar) tastes best with a chapter of cranky ol' Sartre. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.vbar.net It's the little things that matter at VBar: the cozy mahogany bar with a bronze countertop, the bartender who pours Brooklyn Lager and neatly shaves off the foam with a napkin, the great selection of bottled craft beers. VBar insists that Italians make pretty good brews, and it's a quaint little spot that will placate your beer-snob buddies while still assuring you that it's okay to sip a Stella if you want one.

http://www.frankrestaurant.com Serving 750 labels of wine(!), the Vera Bar is the snug add-on to Frank, an Italian restaurant whose menu features Grandma's secret recipes and homemade pasta. The bar's look is that of an exquisitely curated vintage-furniture boutique: stained-glass portraits, exposed brick walls, and an ornate chandelier amid regal white, maroon, copper, and mahogany fixtures. Now, the drinks: though few in number, the beer choices are great, Ommengang's Rare Vos especially. To narrow down the extensive wine collection, go for the '99 Poggio l'Aiole Toscana Canaiolo, which conjures up the tastiest of buzzwords: "ruby red," "lingering berry-fruit perfume," and "velvety finish."

http://www.verlainenyc.com Happy hours are rarely the bargain they claim to be. With discounted drink menus limited to dollar-off PBR and Bud, they're always transpiring between those "peak hours" of five and seven, when everyone's still at work. But if a bar took a more generous deviation from this standard happy-hour formula, we assume it wouldn't make a decent buck. That's why we wonder how Verlaine does it. A happy hour until 10 p.m. every night is unheard of. For seven days a week, unimaginable. There's no weenie, buck-off deals here either. The bar's most popular cocktail, a litchi martini called the Hanoi, is half-price at $4, as is the Suko, a white sangria with pureed Granny Smith apples, longan syrup, and grapefruit, and a red sangria with rambutan syrup and loquat fruit. The Bloody Mary, also $4, gets a Southeast Asian update with fresh ginger, coriander, chili paste, and your choice of plain or infused vodkas with lemongrass, cucumber, or hot pepper. Glasses of Cotes du Rhone and Chardonnay are available for the same price, and the daily beer special (usually McSorley's Irish Ale) is two for $5. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.victorscafe.com Substitute waving palm trees, peeling porticos, and street musicians for the tourists, marquees, and traffic of the theater district. Victor's opened its doors in 1963 as a home away from home for Cubans missing those pre-Fidel days. The bar room--tucked away from the airy dining space--is the perfect setting for a late rendezvous, with the '70s shabby-chic appeal of its crimson interior, velvet love seats, and gilded ceiling. On Saturday nights, the clientele is largely tourists and old Cuban men drinking mojitos. It's authentic Havana. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.theviewnyc.com Situated on the 48th floor of the Marriott Marquis in the Theater District, View Lounge embodies the quintessentially elegant experience of a high-class hotel lounge in the sky. Bored of looking in one direction? Worry not, because View Lounge slowly rotates, providing picturesque panoramas of Midtown Manhattan. The spectacular views attract many tourists, unsurprisingly, but it's not uncommon to see businesspeople with clients or couples on romantic dates. An extensive buffet menu, priced at $37 per person (or $19 per person for dessert and cheese only) includes a cheese montage, meezze & tapenades, two salad bars, several entrees, pasta, and dessert. The fully stocked bar also serves signature cocktails, specializing in margaritas and martinis. --Gabriel Herrera Read more about this New York bar or club >>
The View delivers on what its name promisesaa dizzying panorama of skyscrapers and lights. The men in cravats, Japanese tourists, and giddy newlyweds sip pricey cocktails like the pie-flavored Key Lime martini ($11.75), which comes with whipped cream on top, orafor the less adventurous (howad they get up here?)athe ever classic Southern Comfort Manhattan ($10.25), while the doughnut-shaped 48th-floor aerie rotates at the rate of once per hour. Itas a perfect place to wow out-of-town relatives. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.vigbar.com Patrons from Sweet & Vicious across the street usually spillover into cozy Vig Bar, which is not so much destination spot as bar compromise. Velvet curtains near the doorway block traffic from the outside, a DJ crams his selection into a miniature booth, and occupants on Vig's plush couches always try futilely to dance in the three-feet-wide lounge space.

http://www.villagepourhouse.com The Village Pourhouse touts itself as the "Best Sports & Beer Bar in NYC." Outside, grandiose sets of neon lights proclaim the bar's name, and rah-rah football fans perpetually spill onto the street; you can reach the place by dialing 212-979-BEER. There are more brews available here than in most sports bars, though patrons tend to prefer standard game-watching accessories (Budweiser, Magic Hat) to tastier, more esoteric concoctions (Goose Island IPA). But to a transient crowd just hopping off the subway, leaving Webster Hall, or looking to chat about the movie they just saw at Regal Cinemas, sometimes a dark-wooded room filled with plasma TVs and cheap Bud is the best option.

http://www.villagepourhouse.com This is the NYC bar chain whose phone number is (212) 979-BEER. And its patrons--mostly tourists, sports hounds, and weathered locals--demand lots of it. Within the brick-lined interior of the Pourhouse, a bevy of projection screens and plasmas display the latest sports outing in unison, like Best Buy's TV department; this sports-centric layout is complemented by the beers on tap, with a range of Bud Light alternatives for traditionalists, plus Sixpoint's creamy Sweet Action Ale for the pickier sort. Also notable is the inexplicably named selection of shots, which ranges from the orange-liqueur-based "Brass Balls" to the rum-centric "Surfer on Acid" to, uh, "Spongebob." That last one's a surprise. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.villagevanguard.com Any upcoming or established artist will make an appearance at this Village institution, the granddaddy of New York's jazz scene. In the past, Village Vanguard has hosted the likes of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, making it a popular tourist destination. Take Mom and Dad when they visit, and let them pick up the $30 to $35 admission price. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
