http://www.11thstbar.com Monday nights, pop over to the 11th Street Bar for Glenfiddich sipped neat and a pint of chocolaty-tasting Victory Hopdevil Ale. It's a yummy, cozy pub stocked full of real Irish brogues who don't stand for any pseudo-blarney shenanigans. Table seats are always available, so it's a prime spot to start out your night with laid-back conversation and a little Dropkick Murphys on blast. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Like one particularly conflicting section of the 12th Street Ale House's jukebox (Jay-Z and Simon & Garfunkel are on the same page), the bar itself is difficult to categorize. The dozen beers on tap aren't enough to qualify the place as a true ale house or beer bar; there aren't enough big-screen TVs to deem it a sports bar, and certainly there's not enough grime to call it a dive. But herein lies this bar's charm. To avoid commotion from over-rabid football fans and peer-pressure from beer connoisseurs, locals comfortably flock here and take a seat at the bar as though it's been reserved just for them. Relax: You're among friends, and remarkably sane ones. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.nycbestbar.com/13thstep/ Walk downstairs into the spacious 13th Step and a panoramic scene unfolds. Fresh out of work, men with untucked button-downs sit at the bar, sipping chilly Budweiser from a mug or Busch from a can, craning their necks to glimpse the plasma TVs. Moving to the right of the room, past the waitresses carrying burgers with stuffed insides ("The American" contains American cheddar and bacon, of course), you'll find two ping-pong tables tucked into the corner. There, seasoned old-timers and gunslinging graduates duke it out for recaptured dormitory glory. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Dives don't get more simple than 2A. Happy Hour has a two-for-one special. There are two floors--the bottom a cozy dive, the top a lounge with pleasant floor-to-ceiling windows. And it's located on the corner of 2nd Street and A. The only thing that doesn't revolve around the #2 is the cohesive crowd of subdued Alphabet City bohemians who look like they're attending a neighbor's dinner party. No "too much shit on the walls" decor, rousing bar games, or loud people to churn the stomach here--just a good spot to let a gin & tonic settle. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Some follow the creed "If it's good enough for Jack White, it's good enough for me." These folks love Loretta Lynn, dress in white and red, and drink at 7B. But it's not just the indie rock clientele that makes this bar hot. Drinks are cheap and the jukebox has all the right rock tunes for slinging back brews. More exciting: they have Games-to-Play-When-Drunk, including Big Buck Game Hunter, where you can knock off deer while under the influence and never have to worry about the consequences of a stray bullet.

http://www.acebar.com Like a dive bar version of Funtime Junction, Ace Bar has all the goodies a local could want: pool tables, darts, skee-ball, pinball, and lots of sweet collectibles lining the walls, such as an extensive metal lunchbox collection and a werewolf hologram. As far as dives go, this is as entertaining as they get. The amicable, talkative crowd livens up slower weekday nights, as does the eclectic jukebox, which proves that Hot Chip, N.W.A., and Roy Orbison can peacefully co-exist.

This sliver of a bar, owned by the people behind the Grape and Grain next door, stocks so many beers you'll wonder where they keep them all. Six of them are on tap, brews from small craft brewers like Sixpoint from Brooklyn and Goose Island from Chicago. The bottles, both big and small, come from all over the world: Hitachino from Japan, Westmalle from Belgium, Green Flash from San Diego. It's a beer nerd's heaven with a simple set-up that allows for enjoying your beer without distraction. In the middle of the room is a long, communal wooden table; a counter lined with bar stools runs along the exposed brick wall, which is decorated with photo prints and lit by the glare of a TV hanging above. If you're hungry you can order the beer-steamed mussels or the sausages, which are also cooked in beer, plus oysters and charcuterie plates.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.alphabetnyc.com Decorated in mosaics and local art, this unpretentious dance club hosts DJ-themed nights, live rock, and weepy acoustic sing-alongs. Cocktails are pretty lazily mixed, but cheap beer fits the ambiance anyway. If you're into the casual, determinedly grungy atmosphere, stay away from Alphabet's monthly fetish party: Latex-coated nuns, mermaids, and bunnies have more on their agenda than sporadic, awkward dancing.

http://www.amsterdambilliardclub.com The inside of Amsterdam Billiards is like a warehouse of pool tables. There are so many in here that you'll believe the room is composed of a big carnival mirror, projecting the image of a pool table a hundred times over. Generally, Amsterdam is billed as an "upscale" spot for racking up another game of eight ball with a whiskey in hand, but the price to play isn't high, and the costumers are neither snooty highbrow folks nor predatory pool sharks. Dress casually and don't let the oriental rugs intimidate you. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Secret bar alert! Angel's Share is located behind an unmarked door in the Village's Yokocho Japanese restaurant. Inside, amid floral wallpaper and muted green drapes, an encompassing mural hangs above the bar depicting a demonic Asian baby. It's an instant conversation piece, as are each of the cocktails: Try the Green Haze, composed of gyokuro-infused gin, fresh kiwi fruit, and honey, among other garnishes. Drinks are enjoyed among an incongruous crowd of well-read tourists, locals, and date-night couples; meanwhile, the bartenders wear rakish, butler-inspired matching outfits and look like swift ninja assassins when they prepare your beverage. Go for the bacon-infused bourbon martini if you're feeling wild. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
At this no-frills bar, you can discuss whether a Pixies reunion tour would end with Frank Black telling Kim Deal she would afucking diea or shoot the shit over whateveras playing. The B-Side special ($5, Rheingold and shot of whiskey) warms the belly and wets the tongue, encouraging sing-alongs to the jukeboxas canon of glam rock and punk (the Clash, Black Sabbath, Love and Rockets, Bad Brains, Fugazi, and more!).

Despite the red lights and faux-snakeskin bar stools, Bar on A has an easygoing atmosphere with live jazz or canned reggae and hip-hop. Tables seat two to four, and the music doesnat hinder conversation. Large front windows stay open in nice weather, creating the illusion of an outdoor seat.

http://www.barveloce.com Reflecting its Milanese heritage, Bar Veloce was the first East Village Italian wine bar, and it remains a very stylish place to have a drink. The panini are prepared a few inches from your nose, the lighting is indirect and flattering, and the wine list, if not expansive, offers many choice wines by the glass.

http://www.barramundiny.com Located in the lower Lower East Side, Barramundi is as cheerful (and clean!) as a dive gets. The quintessential non-seasonal Christmas lights are hanging from the ceiling, alongside a mix of other oddities (beads, a flying bat, a skateboard, an ornamented deer head) polluting the bar, but what truly sets Barramundi apart is the crowd, an assortment of laughing locals huddled in the booth seating or chatting with the bartender. Stop in on your next L.E.S. adventure to recover from the energy-depleting, bar-crammed Ludlow Street scene nearby. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.bedlamnyc.com There are three things you should know about Bedlam, Alphabet City's newest Place to Be. 1) It's owned by Benjamin Maisani, Anderson Cooper's good friend. Both can be frequently spotted there. 2) The interior is essentially a club version of the SoHo store Evolution. Taxidermied critters and Jumanji-type oddities are plastered all over the walls, including a giant moose head, 19th-century anatomical prints, leather-bound books, and artifacts aplenty. 3) It boasts a very cool, bro-less crowd: an even mix of indie dudes, gay guys, and It Girls. All of them can be spotted on the dance floor, especially when the DJ is playing Nicki Minaj--something they can all agree on. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.harrysburritos.com Benny's was one of the first California-style burrito joints to open in New York, opening way back in 1988. They specialize in the giant, gut-busting burritos popular in San Francisco as opposed to the smaller, more portable burritos of Southern California. Most of them come stuffed with black beans, Spanish rice, Monterrey Jack cheese and your choice of filling. Chicken and vegetarian options are plentiful: shredded barbecue chicken, grilled chicken with mango salsa, sautéed spinach and vegetarian chili are just a few of the 19 different options. Beef and fish burritos, tacos, nachos, quesadillas and more are also on the menu. It's not a huge restaurant, which would explain its brisk business in take-out, but it's certainly a fun one. Bright colors, funky lamps and booming music keep things constantly upbeat. It really gets jumping during happy hour, when beers are $1 off and margaritas are half-price.
