A nice, inoffensive and surprisingly neighborhoody spot to go to dodge the Greenwich Village crush. Sure the décor seen better days, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. |

Although anyone who's lived in Williamsburg more than a year will claim the scene is far past its sell by date, Union Pool remains an attractive and popular space. On a weeknight in the fall a spot by the firepit in the back garden is nothing short of a treasure. |

Depending on night and time changes from a chill lounge to a packed pick up joint, but then depending on the night and time maybe your preferences change as well. |

An unpresuming dive, but the Cherry Tavern is that rare Manhattan bar where strangers interact. |

An enormously popular East Village dive. Comfortable and lively during the week, packed to capacity on the weekend. Always cheap. |

In the ongoing culture wars of the East Village bar scene, Royale is a huge strike for UESification. Between the plasma TVs, baseball caps, rounds of shots and the girls whose most comfortable mode of communication is via a series of high pitched squeels you can easily forget that not too long ago this used to be one of the best Jazz bars in New York. |
