B4 PubPick
50 New St.
No license found in 2026
Tall ceilings, marble walls and a happy hour running from noon to midnight every weeknight.
-
220 Front St.
No license found in 2026
A historic restoration of Front Street has has yielded this attractive Italian wine bar. Exposed brick and iron-work create a chic downtown ambience just far enough away from the tourist crush.
-
11 Trinity Pl.
Still pouring
A gritty downtown dive deli with top notch reubens and a solid pint of Guinness. Feels like NYC circa Taxi Driver.
-
Bridge CaféPick
279 Water St.
Closed
In the early 19th century Water street was home to a nearly continuous string of saloons and brothels. The Bridge Café was one of the latter.
-
94 1/2 Greenwich St.
A different business is licensed at this address: Cafe De Novo
-
111 Front St.
No license found in 2026
A huge loft space, live music, a convivial neighborhood drinking crowd and authentic Mexican cuisine ala Hecho en Dumbo.
-
90 Fulton St.
Closed
Thanks to $2 well drinks for women all night every night the stripper pull at this "upscale lounge" gets plenty of use.
-
146 Beekman St
Still pouring
Taking it's name from the faded advertisement painted on the façade of 146 Beekman this bar quickly became a local favorite and garned a crowd of afficianados as disparate as the neighborhood itself.
-
160 Pearl St.
Still pouring
The entire interior of this bar was shipped piece by piece from Ireland and reassembled here. The effect is an ambience of genuine authenticity with a only a few jarring details: an HVAC vent, false ceiling, and of course the omnipresent Wall Street yuppies boozing after work.
-
93 South St.
No license found in 2026
This micro-brewery chain offers a platters of 5 sample size beers for $8.
-
133 John St.
No license found in 2026
Second floor bar that's popular with Pace University students thanks to all you can drink specials.
-
228 Front St.
Still pouring
At Jeremey's there are 21 beers on tap, but from 8am to 10am Coors is the only one anyone's drinking. The morning special, a 32oz styrofoam cup of Coors brings in a crowd of fishmongers and a few stockbrokers looking to kick start the day. If you opt to avoid the morning crowds and have dinner the kitchen serves some unsurprisingly exceptional seafood.
-
17 John St.
Closed; now Carragher's at the Irish American
A bar for stock clerks not stock brokers.
-
Liquid Assets (Millenium Hilton)
55 Church St.
A different business is licensed at this address: Millenium Downtown New York
A big, popular hotel bar has all the atmosphere of the WTC pit across the street, but its location is commuter heaven.
-
3 Madison St
No license found in 2026
New York's best bar to pick up a cop. Just across the street from police HQ and well behind the security barrier. You'd need to head to the ocean to find more blue.
-
96 Greenwich St.
Still pouring
Sleezy in the best possible way. A strip club that attracts as many women as men, books rock bands, and where people actually dance together at the same time without exchanging cash.
-
104 Greenwich St.
No license found in 2026
Hugely popular latin club where the crowd dresses to impress and comes to dance. Hot is really the only word for it.
-
2 West St.
Closed
Relatively small and perhaps a little dull, but the view is neither. Step out on the roof deck and have your breath taken away by one of the best views of the Statue of Liberty to be had this side of the Hudson.
-
28 Cliff St.
Still pouring
Well worth the hike from Wall Street this Irish pub is a strong choice for after work drinks. The kitchen is head and shoulders above pub par and the crowd is a nice mix of two disparate groups, those who work downtown and those who live there.
-
115 Broadway
Still pouring
This large, subteranean bar is located within a 1900's bank vault. It's a ghost town on weekends, but draws a huge and very loud after work crowd.
Already closed by 2009

Radio MexicoPickClosed by 2009
259 Front St.
Closed; now Cowgirl SeaHorse
It's all about the location, the patio, and the margaritas at this hidden gem.
