New York is filled with bars, mostly expensive overpriced bars where a glass of wine from a $10 bottle costs you $30. But we do have some jewels that offer more than attitude. Check out these bars for some amazing NYC drinking experiences!
WEST VILLAGE
Fat Cat NYC: This favorite has jazz, pool, shuffleboard, ping pong & drinks…could you ask for anything more? The Blind Tiger: This classic has been around since 1955. You don’t go here for bud, they’ve got an incredible artisinal beer list in both draugts and bottles. Did I forget to mention really yummy food? The Standard Biergarten: This is the mother of all Biergartens in NYC, sausages, beer, pretzels, and ping pong. A great place to spend some time when it is Sunny out.LOWER EAST SIDE
The BackRoom: Incredibly hard to find and totally worth it. This was a speakeasy during prohibition and is one of two that still function today. I don’t want to give too much away…but it’s worth the walk down the creepily dirty stairs. This is definitely not a cheap place, but worth the experience.
EAST VILLAGE
Keybar: Buy one get one drinks in NYC. You buy a drink and you get a voucher for another drink of the same value. It’s probably one of the best values in NYC. Just expect it to be crowded.
