http://www.slaintenyc.com Slainte, the Scottish equivalent to the word "cheers," is just as welcoming as the name suggests. On a block of high-end restaurants, hotels, and cocktail lounges, the bar sticks out as the sole hyper-casual, hyper-energized spot to watch the English Premier and down one of the spot's 40+ brews. If you're stumped, give Ommegang's ale-and-cherry-lambic fusion Three Philosophers a try. The room itself is an update on the usual pub look, favoring a streamlined, gimmick-free interior, but with all the necessary conventions. Bangers and mash, for example, have not been excluded from the menu. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.swiftnycbar.com Like its beer-bar brethren, Swift Hibernian Lounge requires multiple chalkboards to lay out their entire beer selection. The tastiest things, though, sometimes aren't on the list. Inquire about the Edelweiss, an Austrian white beer, and the Irish bartender might just tap the keg right then and there. The room itself, the walls hung with images from an 18th-century study chamber, pays tribute to legendary satirist Jonathan Swift: As soon as you walk in, you'll see a mural of him smiling and raising a pint. Nothing made him happier, apparently, than seeing another satisfied microbrewery customer. Read more about this New York bar or club >>
http://www.ryansnyc.com In name alone, the Thirsty Scholar is a good reminder that some of our greatest writers--James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway come to mind--loved alcohol. Aside from the mounds of sawdust covering the floor, the Thirsty Scholar promotes its erudite sensibility by decorating the bronze walls with antique photos of distinguished and furry-faced men: Mark Twain, say. Plus, on a ledge just above the entrance is a Madame Tussauds-styled recreation of Albert Einstein chilling out, just another pint or three from cracking the theory of relativity. At the bar down below, the liquor is poured with a generous hand and happy hour lasts until 8 p.m.--enough time to knock back a few yourself, for inspiration's sake, of course.

As you stand and order another Bloody Mary (2 for 1 on Saturdays and Sundays between 12 and 6) at Bar 288, have a look at the massive collection of Tom and Jerry crockery that sits behind the bar. Some are antique and some are not but the fact that theyare there is almost suspiciously cute. 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.winebarnyc.com Lots of Mediterranean cafA(c)s run with the simple-peasant-life decorative scheme, the kind with trellises, faux grape vines, and prop bread baskets, while inexpensive wine bars tend to be cheesy caves appointed with asensuala fabrics and drippy candles. But Winebar, a Mediterranean cafA(c)abar hybrid, has lofty ceilings, long, high, bar-like tables, and outdoor cafA(c) tables tooaa sophisticated backdrop for a tasty cheese plate or a glass of one of the 40 European wines on the menu ($8 to $12) Read more about this New York bar or club >>
