Party Earth Review Spanning sixteen thousand square feet over three floors, Stout NYC is an immense but homey Irish pub usually filled with a bustling crowd of young professionals – not to mention the yells of rowdy University of Texas football fans who have made the pub their official hangout on fall Saturday afternoons. Originally designed ... more

Party Earth Review Patrons might experience a bit of déjà vu when they walk into Botanica Bar, a quintessential dive bar whose black-and-red linoleum and second-hand décor every New Yorker has seen at least once, but was probably too drunk to remember. Friday and Saturday nights draw an intoxicated weekend warrior crowd that swarms around ... more

Party Earth Review Although its first-come first-served door policy is deadly serious, Death & Co.’s mix of cocktail den class and warm personality makes this sleek lounge far more welcoming than its name suggests. A chic clientele of suited financiers and fashionable model types are ushered through large wooden doors and black drapes into ... more

Party Earth Review Charmingly dingy and as quirky as the movie it’s named after, Heathers is a welcoming retreat for a diverse clientele who can appreciate the color-changing Christmas light shrine to Stevie Nicks and the collection of Hall & Oates album covers on display by the bar. Not much more than a small, square room beyond unmarked ... more

Party Earth Review Aussies know how to party, and The Sunburnt Cow with its all-you-can-drink brunch brings that down-under spirit to the East Village. Singles roaming the orange-and-black cow print seating areas in search of companionship may be hypnotized as much by the giant video wall projecting everything from sports to anime as they ... more

Bar / Club / Live Music Venue
Party Earth Review It’s not hard to see how Webster Hall came to be known as the first modern nightclub – since its inception back in 1886, this multilevel space has shown a chameleon-like ability to transform from dance hall to live music venue or from hip-hop hangout to salsa palace. Once past the door and into the foyer ... more

Party Earth Review While its simple white exterior and austere white subway-tiled walls might recall a fifties shake shack, Schiller’s Liquor Bar is all about the hard stuff, making it a must-stop for young New Yorkers who do their barhopping on the Lower East Side. A small one-room bar and restaurant owned by Keith McNally of Pravda fame ... more

Party Earth Review Legend has it that oysters are an aphrodisiac, so a cushy spot with an oyster bar seems made for amorous encounters – and that’s just what The Ten Bells delivers. Although the venue’s simple chalkboard sign in front of a black tenement door is less than promising, this candlelit and affably chic wine cellar turns out to ... more

Party Earth Review Patrons who like their eggs Benedict served with pumping dance music, pyrotechnic champagne, and beautiful girls dancing wildly on the tables should head to Brasserie Beaumarchais, one of the few venues in town where brunch devolves into an all-day dance party.

Party Earth Review Popular with cliquish trust-fund kids and well-heeled twenty-somethings, GoldBar has set itself apart from generic dance-club lounges with its stunning all-gold décor punctuated with some tasteful graffiti.

NYC Bars Overview
Everyone knows that the bars in New York are second to none, and anyone who can’t find a bar to suit their personality probably doesn’t love bars all that much. Whether people are in the mood for cutting edge cocktails, tourist-laden chain bars, authentic Irish joints, or the chicest rooftop bars on the planet, NYC has it all – with new drinking dens popping up every day.
Over in Chinatown and the East Village, hip, alternative trendsetters head to hole-in-the-wall bars, dirty dives, and DIY upstarts to down cheap beer, while the city’s sports culture is well represented by hundreds of New York bars all over where fun-loving, more mainstream crowds show up to watch the Yankees, Jets, Knicks, and countless other teams over a few friendly brews.
The fashion set and hipsters with money make the Meatpacking District the place to be for late-night drinking, Hell’s Kitchen is a flourishing artist’s community packed with cozy bars and warm hangouts, and the stunning rooftop bars in Chelsea cater to A-list celebrities and A-list wannabes with money to burn.
Of course, it’s not just New York proper where the bar scene is the stuff of legend, as Brooklyn has long been a vibrant area that still stands apart as a less expensive alternative to exorbitantly priced Manhattan. But even though the price of beer is cheaper in BK, the party isn’t any less intense, with DIY bars, choice wine bars, student dives, and classic old speakeasies all over town.
