Closed; now Blue Ruin
The much loved Bellevue Bar has gone the way of the dodo, but its replacement has the same cheap beer, many of the same regulars, and of course the same prime location next to the Port Authority. With a winning combo like that Why Not is hoping its name will be its calling card to the Greyhound traveling legions.

Don't be fooled by the name. This ain't no Tiki bar. As dives go this is a cliff dive, not a swan dive. It's a dive for experts, the kind that keep a bottle next to their bed to stave off the DTs.

A different business is licensed at this address: The Independent
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.

This hotel bar and lounge isn't a bad option if you're in the area. The lounge isn't a scene, and the ambience crystal chandeliers, chalkboard walls, and couches with throws and pillows is comfortable enough if a bit of a style misfire.

A different business is licensed at this address: Bareburger Hells Kitchen

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.
