Historic neighborhood tavern as comfortable and worn in as a favorite pair of old tennis shoes.
-
62 Laight St. · 0.2 mi
Closed; now Audo Copenhagen

-
Thom's Bar (Thompson Hotel)Pick
60 Thompson St. · 0.2 mi
Closed; now Sloane's
The swank second floor bar of the Thompson Hotel is not the kind of place you want to show up to under dressed - for example just after leaving a wedding.

Solid food and a lively after work crowd has helped keep this neighborhood bar going for the last 25 years.

228 W. Broadway · 0.2 mi

A different business is licensed at this address: Altesi Downtown
-
211 W. Broadway · 0.2 mi
A different business is licensed at this address: Maman

-
Smith & MillsPick
71 N. Moore St. · 0.2 mi
Still pouring
There's little indication from the outside of the hidden treat that lies within. This cozy restaurant and bar has soft lighting, dirty silver mirrors, pressed tin tables, and a bathroom built from an old elevator that is practically a work of art.
-
308 Spring St. · 0.2 mi
No license found in 2026
Spending some time pregaming at the Emerald Pub before you hit the nearby clubs may convince you to abandon your plans and make a whole night of it here.

150 Varick St. · 0.2 mi
No license found in 2026
A club for people who like music and want to dance. No pretense, no attitude, and DJ's who take their job more seriously than themselves.
-
310 Spring St. · 0.3 mi
Closed; now Lazy Point
When a publicist opens a bar you can expect a bit of hype. They've dingied up the entrance of the old Sly to give it a speakeasy feel and set the word out that celebrities frequent the place and yet there's no doorman. The result is expected, people packed in like sardines each wondering why they're here.
-
Don Hill'sPick
511 Greenwich St. · 0.3 mi
Closed
It's dingey. It's dark. The drink are weak and it smells. But it's Don Hill's, so you've got to go just to see what all the fuss is about.
-
114 Franklin St. · 0.3 mi
A different business is licensed at this address: Casa Carmen
A protypical Tribeca tavern set off from an elegant restaurant and featuring a long, beautiful mahogany bar, tin ceilings, and for better or worse a local neighborhood crowd.
-
Antique GaragePick
41 Mercer St. · 0.3 mi
Still pouring
Warm atmosphere, live jazz, and a garage door which swings open in the summer makes for an open air delight. Go for wine with friends and skip the overpriced entrees.
-
305 Spring St. · 0.3 mi
Same bar, now Paul's Casablanca
Hidden in the old McGovern's pub lies lies that rare club that manages to attract a crowd that's beautiful, moneyed, and oddly enough not the least bit boring.
-
326 Spring St. · 0.3 mi
Still pouring
More than a landmark it's just a great place for a drink. On summer afternoons the crowd spill out onto the sidewalk and the setting sun and cobblestone streets can't help but make you fall in love with New York all over again.
