Featured Bars/Clubs


http://www.the4040club.com Jay-Z's nightlife contribution is Empire State, through and through--dim lighting dotting two floors, sports stars lounging in inner V.I.P. chambers, short skirts and shiny tops on every female patron, gold fixtures as far as the eye can see. The lower floor is a rowdy club scene on most weekend nights; if a packed dance pit isn't your style, brush that off your shoulders and stop by mid-week for more sedate, but still infectious, hip-hop groove sessions.

Every year brings more exclusive Meatpacking District clubsaand 2004 saw the opening of Aer Lounge. The big sell here is the outdoor smoking veranda, complete with heaters and comfy couches. The main level of this swish venue is a restaurant/lounge with a carpeted dance area and hologrammed images, offering the usual pricey bottle services and dining menu featuring conch fritters. The VIP members get their own downstairs space, private key (what is it with the private key?), and bar. If you pay enough, you shouldn't have to consort with the riff raff, we suppose.

http://www.barflyny.com Barfly's ten TVs have remarkably strategic placement--the only way you could miss a jump shot is if you cover your eyes. Plus, there's a screen designated specifically for MSG games. Despite this fact, Barfly's contents aren't of the typical hurly-burly sports-bar variety. Spires of white branches wrapped in blue lights fill the room, for example, while the crowd attracts folks of all ages and personality types. Some people, in fact, seem to prefer the menu's Crispy Sesame Calamari over the Knicks game. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.eatalyny.com/eat/birreria Despite difficulty in getting to this faux beer garden on the roof of Eataly, the food can be astonishingly good, via Mario Batali and his executive chef Alex Pilas, though the menu is fearfully low on the carbs you need to pursue an evening of drinking. The homemade sausages are gigantic Teutonic-Northern Italian mash-ups of subtle flavor, and the shredded kale with grapefruit in an anchovy vinaigrette may make you remark, “Why didn’t anyone think of that perfect texture and flavor combination before?” But special accolades belong to the oddball mushroom section of the menu, where oyster, ‘shrooms cavort as carpaccio, and maitakes come kissed with pecorino cream. The beer list? Strange but interesting. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.bblnyc.com The Black Bear Lodge is fairly self-explanatory. It has all the lodge-y goodies one can imagine: lamps with deer antlers, antique sleds, snowshoes and skis on the wall, deer head in the back. With a pint of Sierra Nevada or Yuengling in one hand, use the other to take down woodland creatures by playing the lodge's Big Buck Hunters arcade game. Or heat up with its bar specialty: "Pepper Fucker," a mix of six peppers and Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila. Or try the "Ski Shot," but Google what it is beforehand. Trust us.

With low ceilings and randomly jutting pipes, the basement-level Broadway Billiards isnat the most welcoming place for tall people. Proudly unromantic, this loud, not so wonderfully smelling bar has 24 pool tables lined up in neat rows. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
Feeding coins into Cedar Tavern's upstairs jukebox is the musical equivalent of playing sports: The overarching narrative is always the same, even as the details change. To wit: You may regard "Buffalo Soldier" (or "Heart of Glass," or "Going Mobile") as a home run. Naturally, about half of the drunken crowd agrees. There is a common bond thusly formed, although it could not exist without its opposition, Those Who Do Not Like Bob Marley. As if such an opposition were relevant in any way to Legend-soaked reality; as if it was not in essence arbitrary and ultimately meaningless. You can run, but you'll always come back home.

http://www.cluizel.com Fine french chocolatier Michel Cluizel has only one outpost outside Paris: a store/bar at ABC Carpet & Home. Fans of Cluizel's chocolate bars and his chocolate disks (nuanciers), available in different percentages of cocoa, will be able to choose from an extensive selection here. Then there are the bonbons, available in over 50 different flavors. Appreciators of Cluizel's craft have the added pleasure of enjoying their fine candy with hot chocolate or a Cognac (the bar has a full liquor license). Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.thecoffeeshopnyc.com Do you know anyone who regularly eats these overpriced burgers? Yeah, neither do we. Most of us just come to gawk at the jaw-droppingly hot waitstaffathis Union Square restaurant and bar is well-known for pulling their hired help from a flawless model/actor gene pool. Though regarded as a hotspot has-been, you can't tell as much during the summer months, when itas unbelievably hard to score a table outside (diners only, they will not-so-kindly remind you). Try heading to the downstairs lounge instead. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.craftrestaurant.com The casual counterpart to Craft, this Flatiron District restaurant should provide a relatively affordable dining option for Top Chef fans looking to sample some of Tom Colicchio's, or his chef de cuisine Lauren Hirschberg's, seasonal cooking. The menu is contemporary American with Italian undertones, consisting of both small and large plates such as veal ricotta meatballs, whole wheat papardelle with Berkshire pork ragout and bouchot mussels cooked in white wine and garlic. Diners who just want a quick, casual bite sit at the long, wooden bar and order bruschetta, charcuterie plates and Panini. Above the bar sits a massive glass-enclosed wine cellar, featuring more than a hundred wines from all over the world, including a serious selection of Rieslings and around 25 wines available by the glass. Ever since the restaurant moved to its current location in 2005, there has been plenty of seats, the bi-level space outfitted with polished wood and slick industrial lighting.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.thecuttingroomnyc.com The Cutting Room feels like classic old New York with its plush sofas and sparkling chandeliers. You're virtually guaranteed good music, ranging from jazz to rock. However, if you're looking for a bit more adventure, visit the joint on Saturday nights when the erotic burlesque show Le Scandal runs, featuring everything from a bellydancer to a sword-swallower. Specialty drinks ($10 to $12) include the Wasabi Dirty Mary (Absolut Citron and a secret mix) and Strawberry Fields (Stoli Strasberi, strawberry puree, creme de cassis, and sugar syrup).

http://www.sakebardecibel.com Do not disrespect Decibel with intentions of sake-bombing--this grungy, subterranean speakeasy offers a purist's take on the consumption of Japan's alcohol of choice. The menu contains junmai, honjozo, ginjo, and daiginjo variations on the rice-based beverage, with about 100 choices in total. No wussy English explanations are provided, so just close your eyes and pick: They're all good, or at least authentic. Similarly, the decor refuses to acknowledge that you're in New York City, and so the graffiti of the wrecked, Blade Runner-esque interior is also written in Japanese. Technically, you can't understand anything here, but the message is very clear. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.deweysflatiron.com This place has nothing to do with the Dewey Decimal System, but rather was named after an old seaman, George Dewey. It has 70 plus beers, a pricey array of single-malt scotches, and a handful of sipping tequilas for the drinker in you. They also serve lots of traditional bar food. If you didn't figure it out already, there's not a lot of ladies hanging around here. So guys, have a bonding night out, and ladies, if you're looking for a little extra male attention, this may be your place. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.djoniba.com If you're bored by the same mundane exercise routines at your local gym, then Djoniba Dance and Drum Center will provide a breath of fresh air. Classes at Djoniba are soundtracked by live drums, and they are centered on African-based dance rhythms. The East Village dance studio has been open for over two decades, with an experienced staff to help you excel. Sample classes in Capoeira, Mambo, Salsa, and Joneeba, among others. Several classes of varying experience levels meet every day of the week. --Gabriel Herrera Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.dukesnyc.com Southern-fried innocenceasports, huge food portions, and silly decorations. Skip it unless youave got sheltered family in tow or need a rib fix. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.duvetny.com Located in Chelsea, Duvet lacks the item it's named after, among other things. This white, spacious venue has beds that are as comfortable as cardboard. Don't expect privacy, either. As we attempted to untie the bed curtains, a manager rushed over and explained that customers shouldn't fuss with the property. Duvet's White Satin Mojito (mint, vanilla bean, yuzu juice, Mount Gay Rum, and Moët & Chandon champagne) and pear margarita (each $12) were nothing to dream about, and the bright, fluorescent lighting and generic lounge music only added to the sterile scene. Duvet does have its soft spots, though: a colorful and sophisticated unisex bathroom and a unique aquarium that displays more than 100 exotic jellyfish. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.flatironlounge.com Ever wanted to find one of those really charming 1920s speakeasy lounges so you could pretend to be in a Damon Runyon short story? Youare not crazy, itas okathese days everyone does it. The Flatiron Lounge has gone to enormous lengths to create the atmosphere of a 1920s speakeasy with art deco design and architecture everywhere. Theyave unmistakably succeeded quite glamorously too. Swing on by and have a dirty martini while sitting in a shiny red booth. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.flutebar.com When youare feeling good and rolling in money, stop by flute and order champagne from their selection of more than 100 sorts. The bubbly is sold by the bottle or by the glass, and can come with crushed fruit on the bottom for a bit of pizzazz. The place is filled with cubbyholes designed for playing footsie. For those looking for something to nibble on while getting giddy, Flute offers finger foods and chocolate. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.gstaadnyc.com With all the efficient, inadvertent coolness that seems to characterize the Swiss, Gstaad is a ski-lodge-style place where anyone can sit and warm themselves. Lots of clean wood surfaces that would seem more stark if the place werenat so relaxed. Good selection of beers Read more about this New York bar or club >>
