The legendary Bulgarian bar with dancing has reopened on Ludlow street. There's nowhere else quite like it.
-
120 Essex St. · 0.1 mi
Moved to 124 Rivington Street
Home of the 3 cocktail brunch. Thanks to a heavy pour 3 screwdrivers should leave you vested. Either you keep drinking or you go home for a nap, but getting much of anything done is safely out of the question.
-
123 Rivington St. · 0.1 mi
Still pouring
It's tempting to dismiss this 70's themed bar simply out of hand, but spend an evening there and you'll soon quite suprisingly discover it's warm, comfortable and populated by some of the tastiest hipsters this side of Greenpoint.
-
105 Rivington · 0.1 mi
Closed; now Tigre
Jet black leather couches, lava red carpets, an illuminated bar, and a stripper pole set the vibe at this ultra-trendy DJ lounge in the Hotel Rivington. Head to the right from the lobby or failing that the steel grey doors outside.

Closed; now Dulce
A Bar as ode to the automobile. The Detroit natives who own this bar have created a remarkably comfortable bar despite the fact its bedecked in auto paraphernalia.
-
GalleryBarPick
120 Orchard St. · 0.1 mi
Closed; now Cowboy Tom's
What looks from the outside to be exclusively a gallery space is actually a bi-level bar within a gallery and not a bad bar at all at that.
-
131 Rivington St. · 0.1 mi
Closed; now Shake Shack
An extremely attractive crowd to match an extremely attractive space perfectly balanced out by an expensive bar with cramped standing room.
-
101 Rivington St. · 0.1 mi
Closed; now Pretty Ricky's
A corner location with garage door windows and interior lined on every surface with natural wood creates the perfect ambience for pork fat popcorn eating, oyster swallowing, and Belgian ale swilling.
-
The MagicianPick
118 Rivington St. · 0.1 mi
Still pouring
Despite a brief trip to trendyland and back, the Magician remains a solid choice on the LES.

Ten BellsPick
247 Broome St. · 0.1 mi

-
122 Rivington St. · 0.1 mi
Still pouring
The reasonable Italian fare at this bat cave, is overshadowed by an enormously popular late night dancing scene where the sonic stylings of Justin Timberlake seem to be always on heavy rotation.

-
133 Essex St. · 0.1 mi
Closed
A country and western bar from the owners of Spitzer's and Fat Baby. The draw here is the mechanical bull (only the 2nd in the city).
-
77 Delancey Street · 0.1 mi
Closed; now Grey Lady
White Slab Palace may look out onto bustling Delancey, but its ambiance is sexily subdued. The décor in this Scandinavian joint is as serene as a fjord, while the staff and soundtrack effortlessly balance chill with engaging.
-
132 Ludlow St. · 0.1 mi
Still pouring
An anachronism in the newly self-conciously hip LES, Iggy's is a bar where people go to get trashed and have fun.
-
129 Orchard St. · 0.1 mi
Still pouring
Lucky Jack's is big enough to have entrances on both Orchard and Allen street and the copper topped bar inside runs over 50ft long. Bars of this ilk tend to attract frat crowds, but this place is much better than most. Thank the indie rock sound track for that.

College kids flock in droves to this Asian fusion restaurant turned late night no cover dance club.

151Pick
151 Rivington St. · 0.1 mi

Comfortable and off the beaten track Lolita Bar is that rare Manhattan bar where you could almost imagine you were in Brooklyn.

St. Jerome'sPick
155 Rivington St. · 0.1 mi
Closed
It's hard to find much bad to say about a downtown New York bar with decent DJs, $2 pints of Budweiser, and a stipper pole. Well, at least not much that hasn't been said already.
-
137 Ludlow St. · 0.1 mi
No license found in 2026
Almost indistinguishable from any number of bars that have come to the LES with velvet rope ambitions and an uptown formula. But, who knows with the wealth of new doorman condos sprouting up, and the clientele that comes with them, perhaps this will be the one that sticks.
-
76 Orchard St. · 0.1 mi
Closed; now Skin Contact
After a run in with the makers of the beer of the same name the Jamaican bar Red Stripe has been redubbed Spur Tree. There's nightly DJs spinning reggae and dub, a big back garden, and tasty Jamaican food.

An intimate cocktail temple from the owner of Milk & Honey. It shares the same sophistication and meticulous attention to detail without the pretenses or reservations only policy.
-
157 Ludlow St. · 0.2 mi
Closed; now Apartment 5
Attractive upscale LES sports bar with 62 plasma TVs and private room. Sounds great? Wait til you get the bill. There's a minimum bill of $50/pp per hour for the cheap seats, and $150/pp per hour for a private room. Leaves you to wonder where exactly those blue seats are…

-
95 Stanton St. · 0.2 mi
Still pouring
The oldest and also the number one music venue on the Lower East Side. Covers tend to be cheap, the acts tend to be well above par, and people are there to have fun. There's even live band karaoke on Monday nights.
-
66 Rivington St · 0.2 mi
Still pouring
A clean, attractive, and sophisticated hard rock den makes about as much sense as an overmastered punk song, and a night out here will serve as an object lesson in why the LES can't keep continue its current trajectory to UES land without imploding.
-
LabelPick
174 Rivington St. · 0.2 mi
A different business is licensed at this address: Joey Roses
A music focused DJ bar hidden behind the façade of a take-out empanadas joint. The space is far from ideal (too long and narrow) but the top notch sound system does well with it.

Closed; now Hair of the Dog
A relaxed and attractive crowd occupy this seductive bar/lounge. They're drawn here by the excellent DJs, comfortable leather couches, tall ceilings, and low key ambience.
