Same bar, now The Belfry
A solid bar ruined by new ownership that fired the previous bar staff en mass and redecorated the place in Upper East Side chic. Beer pong anyone?

Now in new digs in the former Second Nature space on 2nd ave,the bar may be totally new, but it still remains the prototypical college dive.

Closed; now Coyote Ugly
There was a time not too long ago when bars like this confined themselves to the Upper East Side. This sharp counterpoint to Beauty Bar next door features giant plasma TVs, wings and burgers, and standing room only crowds.

A sports bar in non-descript flat white room. So there's very little to distract you from the game and your beer which is good, if the game's good.

Infinitely preferable music venue to the Hammersein. A pale second to the Bowery Ballroom.

When NYU's out of session Shades thins out a bit leaving a solid core of regulars with appreciation for solid service and a perfect pint of Guinness.

127 4th Ave · 0.1 mi
Closed; now Nomé
Sure, the faux Roman columns at this popular after work spot help lend it a certain classical feel, but it's when you try and vie for the attentions of the bartender at the fifty foot long bar that you really feel like you're at the Roman forum.

Seven TVs blight this otherwise handsome pub with a great beer selection.
-
213 2nd Ave. · 0.1 mi

Outfitted in the style of an ultra-trendy lounge in, say, Boise Idaho, this former dive bar now boasts a velvet rope and electronic shot measures. On weekends, hip-hop DJs draw a primarily Asian crowd.

119 BarPick
119 E. 15th St. · 0.1 mi
Closed; now The High Note
Cheap beers, dim lights, beat up sofas, wood paneling, and a pool table - this could almost be a frat basement, except it's the kind of bar where frat boys get kidney punched.

NYU students mingle with preening collared shirts under the odd misapprehension that this place is trendy. Unless it's an early week night and then amazingly it really is kinda cool.

A different business is licensed at this address: Spectrum Catering And Concessions
This huge historic ballroom smack in the middle of NYU hosts a variety of events from live music to cabaret acts, but on weekends its all about dancing and clubbing and it's the lack exclusivity that's the draw.

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.

64 3rd Ave. · 0.2 mi
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.

Blue OwlPick
196 2nd Ave · 0.2 mi
Closed
Spot the blue owl and head downstairs to this warmly lit semi-secret basement/cavern. You'll find expensive, but expertly crafted cocktails, and a crowd more uptown than East Village.

A little personality, and less charm, make it hard to imagine what will draw people into the plasma TV infested corner bar when there's no game on. Beer pong?
-
192 3rd Ave. · 0.2 mi
Closed; now Triona's On Third
When the game's on it's as good as any place to watch it. When the game's not on it's as good as any place to watch a room full of helmuts swarm a couple of Jersey girls like flys on shit.

It's tiny and often crowded, but the light makes the crowd look as delicious as the tapas, and the wine list is both thoughtful and reasonable.

Pete's TavernPick

A close second to McSorleys Ale House for title of oldest bar in NYC. Pete's Tavern is a surprisingly low key place for a quality pint, although you may wish to stear clear of the food.

An attractive suited after work crowd mingles aggresively all the while protecting their martini's from one another's jostling. The resultings late night scene is one of amorous PDAs and a Grey Goose slicked floor.

A different business is licensed at this address: Hermana
One of the great East Village jazz bars closed after 11 years and reopened under new management. This tiny bar is now one of the most boring and nondescript bars in NYC.
-
155 2nd Ave. · 0.3 mi
Closed; now The Long Pour
Long, narrow and nondescript and usually quiet. The most remarkable feature is a happy hour with a free buffet starting at 5pm on weekdays, and $5 martinis and $3 beers from 2-8pm 7 days a week.
-
149 2nd Ave. · 0.3 mi

A large but otherwise unremarkable pub is at its best in the summer when the patio makes a great place to sip a pint and people watch.

Different rooms with different music on different floors means that there's always somewhere to escape to if you don't like the vibe where you are. It's a good place to bring a large group with disparate tastes.

This tri-level dance and lounge space is mostly remarkable for the disparate crowd it draws. On Thursday nights 2 hours of free booze with no cover brings out scores of boys to the PopRock gay bash, while Mondays are poetry readings and Sunday's are Brit night.

Add one part Irish bar, one part dive, and one part sports bar and you've got this popular 2nd Avenue NYU hangout. If that's not your scene grab a seat on the expansive patio and enjoy the ambience of Second Avenue.
-
322 2nd ave · 0.3 mi
No license found in 2026
A simple and straight forward bar. What it's missing in personality and warmth it makes up for with a rare combination of cleanliness and cheap drinks. Look for the small brass plaque and head downstairs to the basement.
-
25 3rd Ave. · 0.3 mi
Closed; now Sephora
The acts may be hit or miss but they rotate through quick, and it's one of the few joints giving local talent a shot. Add $4 drafts into the mix and you've got a hit.
