Party Earth Review Patrons in search of an offbeat experience need look no further than Apothéke, a bar and lounge that transports guests into a 19th-century opium and absinthe den – which is exactly what this space was back in the day. Known for its décor as much as for its mind-blowing cocktails, the bar features the original pressed-tin ... 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 The sparse black exterior of Nolita’s Sweet and Vicious may seem unwelcoming at first, but once patrons walk through the double wood doors, they find themselves in a hip yet unpretentious bar where schmoozing with the regulars is the order of the day. The rustic plank floors in this dark lounge vibrate with incredibly loud ... more

Party Earth Review Alphabet Lounge’s location a few blocks beyond the East Village’s throbbing club and bar scene gives this dance club and music venue an added air of exclusiveness. Past the curtained windows and velvet rope, patrons will find a wide single room packed with dancing downtown party girls, upscale hip-hop types, and affluent ... more

Party Earth Review As the name suggests, the NoHo watering hole Black and White is all about contrasts, and this bar manages to be both dark and sultry and warm and welcoming all at the same time. Popular with a diverse mix of hipsters, young professionals, and college kids, the bar isn’t much more than a candlelit basement room fitted out ... more

Party Earth Review Although its days as a hush-hush in-spot famous for its Ivy parties are gone, Chloe 81 maintains its reputation as an exclusive upscale haunt for a fashionable and moneyed clientele ready to drink and dance the night away. A strict and rather arbitrary door policy – overseen by bouncers with phantom guest lists – still ... more

Party Earth Review Discreetly concealed behind a nondescript awning lined with blue Christmas lights lies d.b.a., a no-frills alehouse featuring over 250 international beers. On weekday evenings, the place is generally packed with a slightly older crowd of forty-something business people who line up at the long wood bar to sip rare whiskeys ... 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 A welcoming English ale house situated in a former Laundromat, Drop Off Service and its cheap imperial pints attract an outgoing clientele of creative types and beer lovers. Afternoons often see loyal regulars and expats – and their dogs – ensconced at the homey wood bar, which boasts one of the friendliest staffs in town ... more

Party Earth Review The decadent divas of Hollywood’s golden age would feel right at home at Ella, a bi-level art deco lounge attracting a fashionable mix of alternative creative types and music lovers. An eye-catching red, black, and white color scheme featuring ornate chandeliers, theater-curtain wallpaper, zebra print carpeting, and checkered ... more

Party Earth Review Nestled behind an unimposing storefront is the International Bar, a deliciously divey neighborhood hangout that brings a reliable mix of old-school booziness and crunchy art-teacher weirdness to the East Village. Exposed brick walls adorned with paintings by local artists, kitschy Halloween decorations, and Christmas lights ... more

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
