There's a certain subversive symmetry to a meat market beneath a vegetarian restaurant (Broadway East).However, thanks to the ease of finding parking in Chinatown, and a conspicous lack of neighborhood locals that seems about as edgy as this basement DJ den gets.

Closed; now Clockwork
Sasha Petraske conceived NYC's cocktail craze, and now he's aborting it. The only thing that you'll be able to persuade him to mix into your drink at his latest bar is ice, and even that's viewed with suspicion. At least you'll get your drink fast.

-
77 Delancey Street · 0.3 mi

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.

Closed; now Attaboy
Exquisitely crafted cocktails which lost much of their luster as the prices climbed from $8 to $11 and have no settled at $15. You'll need reservations to get in the door

GalleryBarPick
120 Orchard St. · 0.4 mi

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.
-
121 Essex St. · 0.4 mi
Closed; now Sadie's Ward
A drinking bar usually full, but rarely overcrowded. Not a bad place for picking up what with the enormous bar, friendly pool table, and a long shared sex line for the bathroom.

This unmarked bar with a garage sale design ethic is remincent of the LES that existed ten years ago. A grungy bar for the unselfconsciously hip.
-
120 Essex St. · 0.4 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. · 0.4 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 · 0.4 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.

151Pick
151 Rivington St. · 0.4 mi

St. Jerome'sPick
155 Rivington St. · 0.4 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.
-
133 Essex St. · 0.4 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).

132 Ludlow St. · 0.4 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.
