There are more NYC bars than you can shake a stick at. Citytapper doesn't attempt to list all of the best bars in New York, but does provide in their NY travel guide the classic and historic bar guide for New York.
If the idea of entering a time machine holds the slightest fascination for you and one of your destinations would be a trip to old New York during the Roaring Twenties, go to 57 East 54th Street, walk four steps down and back into time at Bill's Gay Nineties.
Supercool Bowlmor isn't your daddy's bowling alley: DJs spin, martinis flow, candy-colored balls knock down Day-Glo pins, and strikes and spares are automatically tallied into the wee hours.
Old Town opened as Viemeist's in 1892, it still has its original tile floors, pressed tin ceilings, beveled glass cabinets and light diffusers, wood bar and booths that have hidden compartments to store drinks while the coppers raided during Prohibition. White Horse Tavern: Classic, historic, ancient and beer splattered since 1800's.
Here are a few more listed in our free iPad app and mobile travel directory:
Subway Inn Bar
143 E. 60th St.
New York, NY United States 10022
In an era of recast hipness, and transparent attraction, the Subway Inn reminds us of what a bar was and is supposed to be. Over looking Bloomingdale's loading dock, the view couldn't be better.
Ear Inn
326 Spring St.
New York, NY United States 10013
http://earinn.com
The house was built in 1817 for a certain James Brown. He is reputed to have been a black man and aide to George Washington during the Revolution. He is perhaps pictured in the Cass Gilbert painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware River. After the war, James Brown settled in New York and worked in the lucrative tobacco trade between the South and Europe. He was successful enough to move to the suburbs near the village of Greenwich, and build, a fashionable Federal townhouse. The site was only five feet from the original shoreline of the Hudson River.
Fanelli's Cafe
94 Prince St.
New York, NY United States 10012
Soho's best watering hole. A classic corner bar since 1922.
Apotheke
9 Doyers St
New York, NY United States 10013
Telephone: 1 212 406-0400
http://www.apothekenyc.com
The entire experience from wandering down a hidden street to find the entrance, to tasting the first sip of a specialty cocktail made with exotic herbs and fruits – is a privilege. The space is anchored by a 30-foot performance bar made from imported Carrara marble. The hand-carved back bar is filled with hundreds of antique medicine bottles that were collected from around the world. The Manhattan martinis are the real alchemy.Not easy to find in Chinatown. Below Canal and tucked in between Chatham Square (Bowery) and Fell Street.
Bridge Cafe
279 Water St.
New York, NY United States 10038
http://www.bridgecafenyc.com
Dating back to 1794 when the portion of Water Street running through this neighborhood and the buildings on its east side marked the East River's western edge, and Lawrence's wharf occupied the space near where the restaurant's kitchen now stands. In 1888 the exterior of the building was altered to its present form.
Raines Law Room
48 West 17th Street
New York, NY United States 10011
http://www.raineslawroom.com/
Behind and unassuming door, on a street stocked with not so impressive bars lies quite a little gem. Nothing but drinks here, and seriously good cocktails with a Russian vodka theme. Not cheap.
