It just depends on the 'mood' you want to go to bed with
Rooftops of hotels where you can try more sakes than in Japan, themed speakeasies or hidden bars to 'latinize'. It just depends on the mood with which you wake up... Or, rather, with which you want to go to bed.
ALLEY CAT AMATEUR THEATER _(10, Theater Alley) _
No one would guess that there is more to it than a dusty garage. And that is grace. You turn the corner of the luxurious Beekman Hotel, to which it belongs, and get nervous when you see a doorman in the style of a gangster movie, who looks you up and down and gives you the permission (or not) to enter.
another success of Serge Becker and his team , creators of Joe’s Pub, La Esquina or Miss Lily's.
How good after a dusty garage!
The interior continues with the same game, an atmosphere like a secret place with a lot of theatrical air. The cocktails are classic but with Japanese touches and are accompanied by a menu with some snack options designed by the hotel restaurant itself, also Japanese. There is live music.
PATENT PENDING _(49 West 27th Street) _
New speakeasy in the nomadic , which during the day is a cafeteria with good storytelling: honors Nikola Tesla and his radio waves, since the scientist lived and tinkered in this building. Exposed brick locale with aquamarine blue leather armchairs and great importance of lighting, with visual games that recreate waves.
In the letter (behind her are Harrison Ginsberg and Nick Rolin of Dead Rabbit and BlackTail), nods to Tesla and the world of radio in general, in the different sections : Energy, Frequency, Vibration and Descent, with cocktails such as the Light me up (bourbon, Jamaican rum, mango black tea, amaro, Yellow Chartreuse, Sichuan pepper, lime and pineapple) or the Cosmic rays (pisco, American gin , dry vermouth, green apple, elderflower and Kaffir lime) . They open at 5:00 p.m. and They do not accept reservations.
MAKE BELIEVE _(190 Allen Street 7Th Floor) _
The new rooftop bar at Hotel 60 LES is a very tropical bar that allows drink some Japanese cocktails and a good selection of sakes , and outdoor dining with a view: in this neighborhood, the Lower East Side, there are not many.
You can end up dancing until the thousand from deep house to disco. It's time to book because with these characteristics, you will imagine that they take it out of our hands, hey.
CLYDE'S _(178 N 8th St, Brooklyn) _
If you miss the beach, you can always find a little corner of the Caribbean in this Williamsburg bar , owned by Christopher Leacock, a member of the Jamaican rhythm group Major Lazor.
It's small and narrow, and you enter through the door of the (also Caribbean) **Pearl's** restaurant. It serves fresh, tropical cocktails and especially based on the best artisan rums of Trinidad and other ingredients from the island.
Good music (as expected) is always present, often with live DJs and new talent, and they have reverse happy hour (which is a luxury for us Spaniards, because it is from 11:00 p.m. to 01:00 a.m.). Very funny. They also maintain a commitment to collaboration with those affected by the Trinidad hurricane.
THE WOOD STOCK _(446 W 14th Street) _
In the meatpacking , very close to the Strand Hotel , is this 60's inspired themed bar with a fascinating interior design.
Good cocktails by D'Arell Miller and at unusual prices in The Big Apple , while you peruse its vintage advertisements, play a game of pool or get comfortable on its leather sofas.
The drinks are named after hit songs (Good Vibrations, Helter Skelter...), and the pizzas are named after characters from that decade (Janice, Jackie...) .
