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 >>
http://www.vinceandeddies.com Between snuggling by the fireplace during a winter storm, or enjoying a summer breeze on the patio, we can't figure out the best time of year to stop by Vince & Eddie's. During any season, though, expect cramped (intimate?) quarters at this neighborhood locale. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Before entering Vintage, you might spot a little sign with a chalk-drawn martini creature announcing, "I'm a party in your mouth!!" That's in reference to the menu--a dictionary, really--of 200+ $10 martinis. The bottled-beer selection is vast, too, and stars Ommegang's Three Philosophers, a sweet quadruple ale. Besides the paralyzing variety, the bar's only stable trait is a crimson light that washes over the weathered interior. To make things simple, get Nadia's Perfect 10, a mix of Absolut Peach vodka and pomegranate juice, among other ingredients. Yes, the celebrity-inspired martinis get as obscure as a Romanian gymnast champion from the 1976 Olympics. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Sadly, this Ridgewood topless bar has nothing to do with the all-girl a80s pop-metal band that shares its name (aEdge of a Broken Hearta ruled!), although its cheesy lighting could have been used in one of their videos. With complimentary drinks, T-shirt giveaways, and no cover, whatas keeping you away? Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.voldenuitbar.com Vol de Nuit isn't where self-proclaimed "beer dorks" hang out (you'll find them at the Blind Tiger a couple blocks down), but it's a gateway spot for those looking to add a few new glasses to their repertoire. Comprised of three layers--a bar, an inside patio, and a dark-wooded alcove--this Belgian spot turns into a loud, non-dancing nightclub during the weekend. Basking in the scarlet lighting that pervades the room, customers snack on clams and frites, washing it all down with Vol de Nuit's prized beer: the framboise, a lambic brew made with raspberries. And man, it doesn't taste like beer. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.vonbar.com Inside Von, you'll find patrons mouthing the words to songs by Atlas Sound: a telltale sign that East Village locals rule this wine bar. They're an artier set, sure, but unlike those frequenting the bars further south, mustaches and loud clothing are kept to a minimum. Equally subtle, the bar's decor is of the speakeasy variety: muted tones, exposed white bricks, antique light fixtures, tin ceilings. As it should be, the flashiest item on display here is the chalkboard drink menu, which advertises a 30+ wine selection. They're all pretty cheap, but nonetheless highly drinkable.

http://www.vudulounge.com Vudu is exactly as bad as the phrase "Upper East Side dance club" would have you believe. Overpriced drinks and cover, attack-dog-style bouncers, generic dance music, and a boring crowd all make for a less than stimulating experience. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.kg-ny.com Chef Kurt Gutenbrunner's restaurant-bar, named after his Austrian hometown of WallsA(c), is admittedly more restaurant than bar. Quaintly elegant and chic, the cozy space is filled with tables and banquettes that engulf the centralized baraperhaps a deliberate design to entice bargoers to sample Gutenbrunner's oeuvre of personalized Austrian delicacies. Still, those strictly eyeing the drinks will feel pleasantly at home. Apart from a lengthy list of wines, WallsA(c) features a handful of cocktails that shifts emphasis each season (fall, for example, will play with Cuvee Klimt, an Austrian sparkling wine, and with apples, pears, and other seasonal fruits like elderberry). The most distinct of the bunch is the Lemon Grass ($9), a refreshing take on the mojito that, in lieu of mint, places its focus on the flavor of citrus (Absolut Citron, lemongrass, Kaffir lime, and lemon juice), thereby granting it the smooth, lightweight taste of a vodka lemonade, minus the tart. Zum Wohl! Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.waltersbar.com The only sign of life in here is the displaced candy machine, always full. The bar opens at 8 a.m. for those interested in the dreamy breakfast combo of Bud ($2.25) and, say, gumballs (?). Non-culinary treats: pool, darts, and modest-sized jukebox.

http://www.warsawconcerts.com Itas true a Warsaw, one of the hottest clubs in Brooklyn doubles as the Polish National Home, hosting Patti Smith one night and throwing a polka party the next a literally. Order up a z-beer, known as Zywiec to Slavic people who can speak without vowels, and take in a show in the huge ballroom. Or skip the band, walk to the other side of the venue, and for next to nothing order up a pile pierogis, kielbasa and sauerkraut, served up by a saucy middle-aged Polish woman with a penchant for leopard print. Time for another z-beer. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.watertaxibeach.com Find your way to this outdoor oasis overlooking the East River and the Manhattan skyline and pass a few hours digging your feet in the sand. Wash down Idaho elk burgers and other tasty treats with beer, well drinks, or a frozen tropical cocktail. Harry Hawk, chef and part owner, welcomes all beach bums to relax in Queens.

http://www.waterfrontalehouse.com It's not located on the waterfront, but as we're not Marlon Brando, we really don't care. The chill atmosphere lends itself to drinking beer and eating burgers, but those with a bent for risk, who don't mind morning-after headaches, should definitely throw back a few homemade liqueurs, such as "apple pie vodka." Live jazz on Saturdays. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.waterfrontalehouse.com Despite its apparent connection with Brooklyn's Pete's Ale House, the food here is considerably better. Old-timer Waterfront Ale House has long been Kip's Bay's favorite neighborhood bar, shading into gastropub territory with its slightly-sophisticated-for-bar-food offerings. The hamburger is solid and reliable, the nachos more well-cheesed than they need to be. But check the evening chalkboard specials, which include rather daring things for a bar, such as diverse fish carefully broiled, various chops and cutlets, and, especially, meal-size salads that seem aimed at the ladies. The main draw here, though, is an extensive on-tap beer list, including the products of craft brewers from all over the country. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.wateringholenyc.com Owned by NY Knicks' Art Heyman, Tracy J's is, unsurprisingly, a sports bar. The cool thing about this place is the free buffet of pizza, chicken wings, and salad served with happy hour. Karaoke we could do without, but hey, sometimes it's amusing to see some drunk idiot earnestly singing Bon Jovi. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
