46 Best Bars in New York

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“My dining experience at Minetta Tavern was impeccable.My friend and I had Fois Gras and Oysters as Appetizers, Strak Frites and Minetta Burger for our entrees, and topped it up with their delicious Soufflé for two.Everything was truly incredible, from the lively and yet cozy atmosphere, to the outstanding quality of food, and flawless service.It was my first time and will definitely be back for more.A huge thank you to the whole team again!“

“One of New York’s hidden secrets. Not to be missed.“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“Excellent food, each item special“

“I wouldn’t call Katana a dive bar, but on a Tuesday night it felt like a great neighborhood bar. Relaxed atmosphere. Was surprised at how small it was but that added to the chill vibe. I bet on a Thirsty Thursday and the weekend that all changes, but the bartenders and the craft cocktails will be just as great.“

“Delicious food. Small portions so order a lot. Point is to share !!“

“Another fantastic dinner at PS Kitchen. Highly recommend the Thai Chili wings, crabby cakes and Brussel Sprouts. Our table also had the Linguini Alfredo, Cesar wrap and the Thai Sweet Chili Sandwich. We didn’t like the pretzel bun but otherwise everything was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. Staff are friendly and we did not feel rushed. Will definitely be coming again and highly recommend.“

“The food the service overall everything is impeccable“

“The FOOD is fabulous. Great flavor combinations, beautifully plated, unusual but tasty food, perfect portions. I loved everything we ordered.“

“That was the best restaurant meal I’ve have ever had. The lobster risotto was unbelievable and the duck appetizer was so delicious. I will recommend this restaurant to everyone! We loved sitting upstairs in the corner. The staff and service were outstanding.“

“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“it was fun to be here i enjoyed so much.“

“We came in last Thursday night for some pre dinner drinks while on vacation and we're so glad we found this spot! Our trip was drink/food focused and the bartenders here did not disappoint. My husband and our friend had a "Ramos Gin Fizz", (which was literally like the best cocktail I have ever tasted), I would have had one myself but I was already three deep into the Cucumber Mint Collins (which was also delicious)! There was a great live band playing and it was just what we needed after not being in the city for so long. Can't wait to come back!! Did I mention the bartenders were awesome? (It needed to be said twice).“

“WE LOVED our Tuesday night at Bathtub Gin!! Our night began around 7pm and we left after midnight, having enjoyed the experience, beyond. The show is dynamite, the cocktails terrific (even for a non Gin drinker), the service is attentive and the environment is a blast.“

“Great little place. Small menu. Cute vibe. Great service.“

“The Food was innovative and seriously delicious. I think this is a must-try in my books. 5 STARS!!!“

“This place rocked. We wanted something close to the High Line and this place popped up. We made a reservation via Open Table. After getting delayed on the subway, we were a little late. The hostess was understandable and we were seated at a table right away. It was busy and lively. We ate the sourdough bread, citrus salad and deviled eggs. It was all good. I am certain anything is good on their menu. Thanks Cookshop!“

“A gem in the neighborhood. I never had a bad meal there. They are consitant with their food.“

“Fantastic service, fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere“

“Went here for the first time last night and was blown away. They've found a way to make such simple food just so delicious. I think I can say their spicy feta cheese dip that came out with an appetizer was the best dip I've ever had. And their buffalo chicken sandwich was just phenomenal. You should really check this place out.“

“Nice place to meet up with friends. more of a bar with appeti,ets feel. Didnt have drinks. The dumplings were good, most of the food seemed to be healthy or vegan...not really my thing. atmosphere was good. It was a friday evening around 8-9:00 so understandable that service was a little slow“

“We hosted welcome drinks at The Wren before a family wedding. Elizabeth walked us through every detail ahead of time so that by the night of the event, we were nothing but excited. We live out of town and hadn't seen the space in person and were so pleased. Very attractive with seating for guests, a convenient food station, and dedicated restrooms. Our bartender, Troy, was terrific and managed the lights and music when it was time for toasts. I can't say enough good things about The Wren and its staff--book your event there; you won't regret it!“

“Wonderful and relaxing. Very enjoyable.“

“Upstairs in the dining room at the golden swan the atmosphere is very cool, dimly lit with several good little nooks for a quiet dinner over a cocktail.Recommend having a mix of cold and warm apps and one entre per person. We shared everything between four.We enjoyed the risotto, the foie gras, the Dover sole and the Brixton burger.“

“Eat drink be merry. Loved this place“

“This might just become my go-to spot in the city! They change the menu every few months -- keeping things fresh, especially with their inventive takes on classic cocktails and more experimental cocktails. The bartender gave us a sample of the mushroom gin--imagine hints of vanilla and earl grey. I opted for the vøkkå nåtu swiit (pronounced: "vodka not too sweet"), and it was a unique, flavorful choice. Plus, the staff is super friendly and the vibes were incredible!“

“Delicious food, great service, amazing ambiance… Highly recommended!“

“muito aconchegante, preços justos e ótima musica“

“This place was such a gem! Seats are first come, first served, so no reservations- but we were seated after 15 minutes or so.The food here is absolutely amazing, specifically their specialty tater tots. We had the Disco Tots and I was taken to another world!The ambience is beyond amazing, and they have specialty nights as well like disco brunch and movie nights. Highly recommend.“

“i usually don't leave reviews but Salinas begs for such a stellar two words. the food was wonderful and the service was immaculate, quick, attentive and generous. we were lucky enough to try multiple items on the menu by the gratuity of the house and i must say, it made my night. shout out to the dear server, jonny, that helped us that night!“

“Delicious & great service! We loved Esca but this was also v delicious & v healthy. Room is pretty. The bar is not as cozy & stylish as it was in its former iteration but overall we will be back & wish them great success! Great space & option including while in the theatre district, Sony Hall, etc;))“

“Got to sit on the fourth floor in "Johnny Carson's" space. Delightful ambiance and delicious cocktail in the Dirty Deeds 22. Make a reservation as the walk in area on the 2nd floor is way too crowded. And make sure to hear the story of the building from the guy at the podium.“

“always impeccable, the best option to spend a few days in New York“

“One of the best places I've been to in quite some time! Beautiful inside, fabulous food, great vibe, soooo fun!“

“Sake, selection was selective and inclusive. Too many dishes which are unexpected for the presentation sunny did a great job on making sure we were happy and comfortable. It is special place especially in the bar area would definitely come here again.“

“We found this gem of a bar/restaurant and visited five or six times. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff very professional and friendly. Eddie provided excellent service and Gabriel the owner is so welcoming and friendly and has time for everyone. The food was out of this world - particular mentions are Ravioli Zucca and the Brasato di Costolette di Manzo (short ribs to die for). The bomboloni (Italian doughnuts with chocolate and caramel sauces) is one of the best desserts I’ve had! We would definitely recommend this place. It’s in an excellent location opposite Central Park.“

“I had some great cocktails here for my birthday hang with friends. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, especially when I only had a reservation for 8 and much to my surprise, 16 people showed up. They moved us to another table where more friends could stand around and socialize better. I appreciate it, Primo’s! Definitely will be back for the yummy drinks, friendly service, and great atmosphere! ?“

“Wonderful place to hangout not enough seating though drinks were awesome“

“Ever since you reopened, the food has been exquisite. The earlier years when it was GB&G, the different chefs never really found themselves. Since the reopening and the re-emergence of the original chef, I think, the food is back to its glory as it was 15 years ago. Regardless, service has always remained superlative. I do miss the complimentary exquisite breads, intermezzo and after dinner edibles though.“

“The BEST fish tacos I have had in the city and I have tried many! The ingredients are high quality and you can taste it … Brussels Sprouts amazing … Nashville Chicken hot and juicy … Steak just perfect. I also get the margaritas delivered and store them in my freezer.“

“Went for our anniversary!! Had an amazing meal!! Wonderful service and great atmosphere!! Highly recommend!!“

“A Korean restaurant I found by chance while traveling!The staff and owner are all very friendly and the food is so delicious!! After my first visit, I remembered the taste, so I visited again and ate it, and I think it tasted even better!!!!!Even after my trip, I will still think of Korean restaurants in New York!Thank you for the good food and good service :)“

“Jajaja Mexicana was a nice surprise that came from a quick search in the city. The atmosphere was amazing and our servista was a doll. The food was an exciting experience and lived up to the hype. I would definitely go back there and tell friends about it.“

“Food was great! I got carne asada tacos and split some nachos with friends! I normally don’t order carne asada tacos because I’ve had some with overly chewy meat but these were super yummy! I only wish the price included some rice and refried beans is my only comment. The nachos were good as well. Our waitress was polite as well. The music playing was really enjoyable too. Will def be back“
