http://www.stdymphnas.com Dymphna, a martyr who died in A.D. 620 at the tender age of 15, is the patron saint of those suffering from nervous and mental disorders. So thank God for St. Dymphna's in the East Villageaideally itty-bitty, it's not claustrophobic but a cozy bar dotted with a few simple wooden tables. A calmness pervades: The lighting's low and the undecorated walls are a soothing pale green. Inside is a charming place to chow a beef and Guinness casserole; the backyard's nice for getting sloppy with pints or for enjoying your morning coffee and rashers.

Conveniently located at the crossroads of the East Village, this beer bar features food that's a couple notches above the usual pub grub. Sandwiches are refreshingly sided with skin-on red potato salad instead of fries, and there are unexpected snacks like a smoked whitefish appetizer on lavash, French onion soup, and lots of salads. Bargain-priced as low as $3 per pint, there's a choice of 24 beers on tap, of which Brooklyn I.P.A., Stoudts Fest, and Anchor Steam Wheat are highly recommended. Lunch specials are sometimes an absurdly good deal: On a recent weekday you could get a pint and a half-pound Black Angus burger for $5. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.standingsbar.com Say hello to the highly underrated, good-natured brother of Seventh Street. But unlike legendary neighbor bars McSorley's, Jimmy's, and Burp Castle, this one doesn't emphasize its New York history or couture beer; rather, Standings focuses on sports. It has, for example, a relentless collection of sports pennants, swarming everything but the fantasy-football chalkboard and the icicles of shirts and flags hanging from the ceiling. Nonetheless, the beer selection extends way beyond your typical pub finds, providing craft brews alongside an ever-present tap of Bud Light. For those who just want to sit and watch college sports, nothing more--preferably in a completely authentic environment--Standings has one pair of plastic seats (yes, the kind you'd find in a stadium) at the ready.

http://www.stillwaternyc.com The Stillwater Bar & Grill is mercifully light on flair: The one prominent decorative element comes in the form of a giant, glassy-eyed swordfish model tacked to the brick wall. You don't need much more than that décor-wise; what you do need are low ceilings, a pool table, a Big Buck Hunter arcade game, and plentiful TVs broadcasting The Big Game. Meanwhile, a separate room provides patrons with some space to chow down on burgers and throwback $3 pitchers. Simply, unpretentious, expertly effective. The experience is purely, beautifully utilitarian: Come here to get the job done. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.websterhall.com The Studio, a baby performance space lurking in the belly of historic Webster Hall, fits 300 people--less than a quarter of the bigger spot's capacity. Thus, with a stage low enough for climb 'n' dive antics, it's just the right size to host the latest circuit of indie rockers, giving invaluable chances to up-and-comers--including recent breakthrough acts Sleigh Bells, Marnie Stern, and Free Energy--before they graduate to the space right above their heads. There's a full bar, too, while you're waiting around for their transition. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
https://www.teany.com The card at Teany reads, "proprietors kelly + moby," but I wouldn't expect the man behind Play to serve your chai latte and squash soup. It's not exactly his Cheers, even though everyone does know his name. But Teany allows Moby the privilege of inviting his friends to a heated late-night battle of the lettered tiles at a corner table. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.10degreesbar.com Ten Degrees' happy hour is supreme. From noon to 8 p.m., you get two beers, cocktails, or glasses of wine for the price of one. Or, to get specific, two Six Point Sweet Action cream ales, two Godiva and Raspberry Vodka Martinis, or two glasses of chardonnay. Filling and cost-effective. The decor is quintessential wine bar, a mixture of white tile, dimmed lighting, and shelves of bottles, which somehow looks even more sophisticated than a stacked bookshelf. And though most people in here have a glass in hand, they're young and thankfully not snooty enough to know that Ten Degrees' flaky Humboldt Fog Cheese goes best with champagne.

http://www.wineisterroir.com Terroir has a ridiculous amount of wine--a whole binder of the stuff, actually, packed with lists and lists of semi-sweet white wines made with perfume-y riesling grapes, pages of discourse on wine craft, and hyperbolic praise for its producers. Meanwhile, the menu features small plates with downplayed grandeur, such as the "Fried Stuff" section and its gorgonzola-infused beet risotto balls. An impressive variety, overall, considering Terroir squeezes it all into a tiny, 24-seat, bookshelf-equipped, sepia-tinted room. This wine bar is a superstar collaboration between restaurateurs Paul Grieco (a bigger wine connoisseur than Bacchus) and Marco Canora (an Iron Chef), and that's made clear.

http://www.threeofcupsnyc.com The decor is Medieval/Occult, the food, modern Italian with a twist. The butter-dripping baked potato and the crostini with roasted garlic make good starters/snacks. You can top them off with a pizza from the wood-fired oven;like melanzane, made with fried eggplant on a crust nicely charred on the edges. Everything clogged with lots of garlic, and where else can you go to get a baked potato at midnight? Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.theurgenyc.com The rough, industrial entrance gives away nothing about Urgeas subtle, romantic lighting scheme or plush lounges. Lackluster go-go boys dance on the bar waiting for time to pass until they change G-strings as if we won't notice theyare still the same people. Not that it seems to matter to the mango-cosmo-sipping gay male clientele, mind you. Stop by on Wednesday night and get pants-free for Ass Wednesday, where a tight rear can win you a prize.

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.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.websterhall.com Webster Hall has existed for over a century, but this landmarked, three-story venue is not stuck in tradition: It caters to every possible form of nightlife that's popped up in the city since the venue was created. For club-hounds, weekly staples include campy dance party The Awesome '80s Prom and rave Circus. For concertgoers, main-stage booking is handled by indie-rock-and-beyond warlords Bowery Presents. With a disco ball crowning its center, Webster's 2,500-capacity Grand Ballroom was recently called "the best stage in New York City" by none other than Prince. And if it's good enough for him...

http://www.whiskeytownbar.com Bet you hadn't heard of a "pickle back" until this sentence. Well, it's a pickle-juice chaser. At Whiskey Town, the pickle back is served en masse to accompany shots of Jameson, countering the alcohol's bitterness with sourness. Such is the combination of choice for the tightly clothed Whiskey Town crowd, which squeezes into the bar's stark, red-hued, and often tightly-packed interior to shake it to a little Michael Jackson, countering that pickle-y sourness with sweetness.

http://www.wildwoodbbq.com Restaurant conglomerate B.R. Guest's barbecue spot is less like a roadhouse and more like an ark, a hulking wooden structure housing all of the barbecue styles of the United States under one roof. The man behind the menu is "Big" Lou Elrose, a former NYPD policeman who gained fame by winning numerous barbecue competitions and then helping man the pits at nearby Hill Country.The culinary tour through the country includes both Kansas City and Memphis baby back ribs, Carolina pulled pork, Texas-style beef ribs and more, plus sandwiches filled with things like brisket, grilled chicken and Maryland crab cakes. Wash down that meat with pitchers of American craft brews, a huge selection of bottled beers, specialty cocktails and a small selection of New and Old World wines by the glass and bottle. I wouldn't worry about reservations here; the space is huge, with a masculine design job including giant steel and wooden beams, concrete floors and dark leather chairs. —Keith Wagstaff Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.winebarnyc.com Not surprisingly, Winebar is the classiest drinking spot along downtown's Second Avenue nightlife strip. They serve plenty of medium- to full-bodied wines, specializing in drinks that span the Mediterranean, with a focus on France, Italy, and Spain. As fancy-schmancy as this all sounds, the communal table setup inspires liveliness and conversation within the stark, black-and-red, wine-bottle-decorated interior. And if you're not a connoisseur, don't worry: The waitress has recommendations. As do we: Try Atalaya's Monastrell-Garnacha-Tinto-Tera from the Almansa region in Spain . . . if you can remember all that. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.zumschneider.com Try not to get too intoxicated off your liter steins of German beer, or you might not be able to enjoy your meaty bratwurst. In case it wasn't obvious, this place has a bit of a Bavarian vibe. Brick arches, faux trees covered in fake ivy and oompah music make for an experience worthy of a theme park. The one thing that is real, however, is the raucous atmosphere, encouraged by the 14 quality German beers on tap and the long communal tables that invite socializing. Tables can be hard to come by, so arrive early. The menu consists of hearty German fare like beef goulash, homemade spatzle with cheese and bacon, sausage platters, smoked pork belly and more. Sadly, you can't make reservations unless you have a party of ten or more, and not even then on Friday and Saturday night. Luckily you can pass the time like everyone else does; drinking copious amounts of beer while jammed shoulder-to-shoulder between tables.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about this New York bar or club >>
