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.

Cellar Bar (Bryant Park Hotel)
40 W. 40th St. · 0.1 mi
Same bar, now Célon Bar & Lounge
An absurdly expensive, uneven, imitation wine cellar replete with vaulted ceilings and wrought iron chandeliers. To get there head toward the front desk, turn left, and then look for the clipboard wielding doorman.

Cozy, upscale hotel bar has a backlit bar, a skylight, and candle lit tables creating a simple, sophisticated ambience. There's no scene per se, but that's its biggest charm.

With a location like this a bar/restaurant such as Jack's can aspire to serving quality food and keeping the prices down, and that's about it. Jack does a fine job on both accounts. If you're in a hotel in Times Square and feel like nipping out for a quick low key pint and a spot of grub Jack's is a solid choice.

It's Times Square so it is of course, uttely, completely insane. But if you love sports, and sports bars, how can you not love a sports bar on steroids.

Walking inside it's as if you've suddenly been magically transported around the world to a bog standard, always a bit too crowded, dull as you like pub in midtown Sydney.

109 E. 42nd St. · 0.2 mi

If ever (god forbid) a series of circumstances conspire so that you find yourself in Times Square and also really quite totally stoned, than this dingey basement piano bar is so bad it just might be a really good time. Order a Coke and zone out as you watch the drunken businessmen sing along to Frank Sinatra. Otherwise under pretty much all other circumstances it's best avoided.

The basement lounge of the Morgan Hotel (ie JP Morgan Hotel) is plush, comfortable, and boasts a royalty on acid aesthetic that somehow manages to be really quite endearing.

A large prototypical hotel bar where you easily imagine you were in any city in the US were it not for the floor to ceiling windows overlooking Times Square.But that in and of itself is reason enough to go.
