42 bars that New York on Tap listed under “Fireplace” around 2008, with what's licensed at each address in 2026.
Manhattan
-
800 2nd Ave. · Rose Hill
Closed; now Chai Urgent Care
Lacking personality or location the next best thing is a gimmick. They've come up with two number themed ones. No men under 25 are allowed in, and the number 925 in the name refers not to the address, but to the fact everything on the menu is $9, $2 or $5.
-
52 8th Ave. · West Village
Still pouring
A surprisingly low key bar in a location which is fast becoming anything but. The booths here are big comfortable and wrap around into almost a complete circle, there's couches in the back, and a wood burning fireplace. Service at the bar is hit and miss, but you're hear to sit down with friends anyway.
-
Blind TigerPick
281 Bleecker St. · West Village
Still pouring
Fans of Blind Tiger's 20 taps and 2 handpumps rejoiced when it reopened at this Bleeker Street location in the Spring of 2007. The beer selection remains second to none attracting raucous after work crowds.
-
299 Madison Ave. · Murray Hill
Still pouring
Flowers, stone railings and wrought iron and wicker furniture attract a more conservative crowd than many of the city's other roof decks bars, but at $7 for a Pilsner Urquel it's a veritable roof deck bargain.
-
329 Lexington Ave. · Murray Hill
A different business is licensed at this address: The Junction
Votive candles, exposed brick, leather couches, and a working fireplace creates a rustic, living room aesthetic. Throw in stunning European waitresses and a vast selection of single malt scotches and you've got one of the best lounges in Murray Hill.
-
265 Elizabeth St. · NoLita
Closed; now The Musket Room
A black leather and white marble martini bar and restaurant. On summer evenings the back garden is the real draw.
-
531 2nd Ave. · Rose Hill
Still pouring
Second avenue is lined with cookie cutter Irish pubs that serve more Bud than Guinness. This is not one of them. A solid pint of Guinness, a wood beam ceiling, and a roaring fireplace ensure Failte's place head and shoulders above the rest.
-
15 W. 54th St. · Midtown West
Closed; now Il Gattopardo
The former Aquavit space is now home to this celeb heavy scene to be seen restaurant and lounge.
-
121 E. 17th St. · Union Square/ Flatiron
Closed; now Martiny's
This three story carriage house never made the city's landmarks list and so it became the extraordinarily elegant setting for this wine bar and restaurant. A seat at the bar provides a comfortable vantage to explore the 150 bottle wine menu.
-
Jade Bar (Grammercy Park Hotel)
2 Lexington Ave · Grammercy
No license found in 2026
Attractive upscale hotel bar serves $15 cocktails to a crowd which is at least for now mostly hotel guests.
-
11 Waverly Place · Greenwich Village
Still pouring
Not just a student bar. Josie Wood's is the NYU student bar. It's basement environs might as well be annexed considering the amount of financial aid dollars spent here. And while anyone over 23 will feel like a dinosaur, for the kids with shiny new fake ids this is the place to head after class on a Thursday.
-
160 Central Park S. · Midtown West
Closed; now JW Marriott Essex House
This richly appointed hotel lounge makes an excellent venue for the rich to schedule an appointment with cognac and caviar.
-
356 Bowery · NoHo
Closed; now Yawning Cobra
An upscale British pub in the basement below Marion's Continental and Antik. It's warm, clean, and attractive and it's just far enough off the radar to make for a good place to take over with friends. And if you're party decides it wants something more lively they can always head up to Antik.
-
1020 Lexington Ave. · Upper East Side
Closed; now Melody's Piano Bar
This old school/old men's cigar bar has all the elements of a classic mens club: a strict jacket policy, a 25 and over door policy, waitresses in cocktail dresses, and a glowing fireplace.
-
811 7th Ave. · Midtown West
Still pouring
Generic lobby bar of the Sheraton Hotel offers little beyond a convenient place to wait for a hotel guest.
-
335 Bowery · East Village
Still pouring
Carved wood panels, persian rugs, candelabras and a sandstone fireplace all collaborate to create a regal Victorian atmosphere. Too bad this bar's technically for hotel guests only.
-
Next Door at La Lanterna di VittorioPick
129 MacDougal St. · Greenwich Village
Still pouring
Head to the back and down the stairs of La Lanterna di Vittorio to find a wine and jazz bar that's about as warm and romantic a location as you could imagine.
-
The Rose Bar (Grammercy Park Hotel)
2 Lexington Ave · Grammercy
Closed
From celebrity rolodex, to Page Six, to Citysearch's 10 best list, to the gutter. With a roaring fireplace and vaulted ceilings the Rose Bar feels chic and sophisticatated, unfortunately its overblown publicity has ensured very few of its patrons are.
-
197 2nd Ave · East Village
Closed
There's stained glass, a fireplace, and german beer, but there'll be no bratwurst until they sort it out with the department of health.
-
Tillman'sPick
165 W. 26th St · Chelsea
Closed; now Sid Gold's Request Room
Harlem in the 70's re-envisioned in this Chelsea lounge. Surprisingly it works rather well.
-
Ty Lounge (Four Seasons Hotel)
57 E. 57th St. · Midtown East
Still pouring
The lobby lounge of the Four Season's Hotel has a roaring fireplace and makes a mean Manhattan, of course the $20 price tag is pretty mean as well.
-
119 E. 27th St. · Rose Hill
A different business is licensed at this address: Turnmill
The music blares. The guys are all squares. If you're looking for a good time you're not going to find it here, because if you had a buck for every douchebag you'd be a millionaire.
-
64 3rd Ave. · NoHo
Closed
The giant Times Square style ticker outside insures that everyone who passes through knows what to expect. This is a bar for the NYU frat pack, a place to get drunk on Bud Light, watch the game, and if the stars are aligned have a drunken hook-up with that hot kid in your Bussiness and Marketing class.
-
Wheeltapper Pub (Fitzpatrick Hotel)
141 E. 44th St. · Midtown East
Still pouring
Upscale Irish pub in the Fitzpatrick Hotel serves consistent if somewhat pricey comfort food to an after work and tourist crowd.
Brooklyn
-
224 Smith St. · Boerum Hill
Closed
This dog friendly sports bar is a second home for its neighborhood regulars, but can feel more like foreign territory for anyone else.
-
415 Union St. · Gowanus
Still pouring
A rustic wine bar with an emphasis on craft and organic wines from smaller vineyards. Thanks to the warm and comfortable atmosphere and a flirtatious and handsome bar staff it consistently has one of the highest female to male ratios of any bar in Carroll Gardens or quite possibly the entire city.
-
Black RabbitPick
91 Greenpoint Ave. · Greenpoint
Still pouring
A country pub atmosphere, a cocktail list that changes nightly, $3 drafts of Brooklyn Lager, good food, and a back garden. Take over one of the huge booths with a group of friends and hit the service button whenever you need to place a drink order.
-
BoatPick
175 Smith St. · Boerum Hill
Still pouring
Comfy couches, a fireplace, attentive service, and an attractive crowd make Boat a top choice on Smith Street.
-
31 3rd Ave. · Boerum Hill
Closed; now Claw Daddy's
Low key watering hole offers refuge to locals avoiding Smith Street's Saturday night crowds.
-
179 Smith St. · Boerum Hill
Closed; now Smith Deli and Grill Juice Bar
The theme is summer camp, which granted is more than a little camp itself. The bar's popularity rests in the fact that rather than attempting to capture camp kitsch, they've instead pretty successfully captured the feeling of warmth and camaraderie topped off with some smores for dessert.
-
339 9th St · Central Slope
Still pouring
This long saloon bar aims to be Park Slope's answer to the likes of cocktail focused bars like Pegu Club or Milk & Honey. Hopefully a fireplace, and dark wood interior will help it keep a cozy neighborhood vibe despite a location just down the street from a giant new condo development.
-
130 Franklin St. · Greenpoint
A different business is licensed at this address: Little Rascal Bar
A warm and comfortable Irish pub with a solid beer selection, tasty sangria, and a back garden.
-
790 Metropolitan Ave · East Williamsburg
Closed; now Easy Lover
This small, dimly lit bar replaced everyone's favorite neighborhood hole, Pour House. The music's seems to be always a bit too loud, the pool table is uneven, but the crowd tends to be pretty friendly and they've got cask conditioned ale.
-
Loki LoungePick
304 5th Ave. · North Slope
A different business is licensed at this address: Lofi
A gargantuan loft space an efficient bar, couches galore, and a $4 beer. Only in Brooklyn.
-
312 Grand St. · Williamsburg North Side
Closed; now Quarter Club
The ambience that might otherwise exist in this attractive space is obliterated by no fewer than 10 plasma TVs. If you're not hear to watch sports head to the cozy backyard garden insead, and enjoy a pint of Chimary on tap.
-
Pacific StandardPick
82 4th Ave. · North Slope
Closed
Half bar, half living room this spacious and attractive bar serves as spiritual home for West Coast expats in NYC. And a well stocked home it is. There are 16 tap beers, including 2 cask conditioned ales, and 6 West Coast drafts.
-
149 Fourth Ave. · Gowanus
Closed; now The Armory
Like a real Australian sheep station, this pub on a remote section of 4th avenue with nothing to keep it company but gas stations and auto body shops, provides warm and welcoming respite. There's a fireplace, a full aussie menu, and a friendly welcoming staff.
-
Zombie HutPick
273 Smith St. · Boerum Hill
Still pouring
A tiny tiki bar with friendly bartenders and stiff drinks. Unfortunately on weekends those stiff drinks seem to bring out a surprisingly aggro-frat crowd.
Already closed by 2009
-
Gin LaneClosed by 2009
355 W. 14th St. · Chelsea
No license found in 2026
The former Village Idiot space (god rest its soul) has been transformed into a decadent supper club with leather banquettes, wrought-iron chandeliers, mahogany panels, and a 100 year old bar.
-
The Slide BarPickClosed by 2009
356 Bowery St. · Coney Island
Closed; now Yawning Cobra
One of the few bars in the city that manages to be simultaneously sleazy and warm.
