-
Ara Wine BarPick
24 9th Ave.
Closed; now Kobrick Coffee Co.
Forget the front room and bring your friends straight to the back where you'll find a warm and comfy pillowfilled space that makes a welcome place to enjoy a glass of wine and the respite from the Meatpacking "be seen" scene.
-
55 Gansevoort St.
A different business is licensed at this address: Rh
Behind a smoked glass door just past Merkato 55 (you'll spot it by the bouncer standing outside). Head down the stairs, through the kitchen, and into into the door marked private. If all that makes you feel important than you're not alone. Take a look around. Pretense is the name of the game here.
-
55 Little W. 12th St.
Still pouring
A comfortable pub for a pint on a Sunday afternoon or a Tuesday night. On weekend nights the place packs with a fairly typical young Meatpacking crowd of UES and UWS out for a night on the town. Music tends to be a selection of 80s and 90s top 40 dance hits.
-
25 Little W. 12th St.
Closed
This New York outpost of the global Buddha Bar brand of supper clubs will relieve you of your Benjamin's faster than you can say "This is way cooler than a Hard Rock Café."
-
18 Little W. 12th St.
Closed
Imagine elevator electronica at twice the tempo and ten times volume, the crowd here goes wild for it.
-
18 W. 13th St.
Closed; now the Gansevoort Meatpacking hotel
Equal parts Miami and Japan this exquisite cabana garden still attracts the famous and beautiful but the door policy has relaxed.
-
GaslightPick
400 W. 14th St.
Closed; now Gucci
A hopping off point for clubs in the area, Gaslight is oddly comfortable faux Victorian DJ bar.
-
859 Washington St.
Closed
Tourists looking to score, drunk women dancing on the bar, batenders who trade flirtation for drinks, shots ordered by the dozen, and an occasional bared breast. Sounds awful right? The strange thing is we've really only ever had a good time here.
-
409 W. 13th St.
Closed
Boasts the first smoking section since 2001, a private elevator VIP lounge, and DJs who love pop.
-
9 9th Ave
Moved to 52 Gansevoort Street
A near perfect recreation of a Parisian brasserie replete with an aged and distressed patina created by importing weathered and worn design details from the Old Country. If only a sophisticated and world wise crowd could be so easily imported as well.
-
18 9th Ave.
Same bar, now Gansevoort Rooftop
Well drinks in a plastic cup for $14, bottles of Heineken for $9 - welcome to the roof top bar of the Hotel Gansevoort.
-
Tea and SympathyRestaurant
108 Greenwich Ave.
Still pouring
A West Village institution and an expat favorite, serving up classic British dishes in all of their starchy deep fried glory.
Already closed by 2009
-
Double SevenPickClosed by 2009
418 W. 14th St.
No license found in 2026
Cocktails prepared with reverance, waitresses clad in corsets, seats with more leather than a texas ranch, and an overall wow factor somewhere approaching Holy f$$$ing sh$$!

Hunk ManiaPickClosed by 2009
248 W. 14th St.
A different business is licensed at this address: Beatbox
-
The Inn LW12Closed by 2009
7 9th Ave.
Closed; now Serafina Meatpacking
There's little to recommend about this overpriced Canadian "gastropub."
-
LotusPickClosed by 2009
409 W. 14th St.
Closed; now ArtX
Once a great club now sadly the almost exclusive domain of the moneyed unhip.
-
PMClosed by 2009
50 Gansevoort St.
No license found in 2026
Towering ceilings, palm trees, splashes of primary colors, and leather booths create a scene of island glamor. Stop by for dinner first to duck the ultra-exclusive door. NOTE: CLOSED Jan 2 2008 - Feb 1st 2008 by order of State Liquor Authority.
-
R and RClosed by 2009
416 W. 14th St.
No license found in 2026
This intimate music space known as Rock and Rare is indeed a rare find in the Meatpacking District.

Sleek and sexy wine bar draws an chic thirty-something crowd.
