    Once you find it (on the West corner of Leroy and 7th Ave. South.), get the Ward 8. Mindscrambler - hurt so good! :-)

    This hard to find dimly lit joint has live music and great service. They make a mean death in the afternoon and an amazing sazerac. If you can't decide, tell the bartender some ingredients and he'll

    Gordon's Breakfast ... the best off-menu cocktail ever. Gin, cucumber, lime, hot sauce. Amazing.

    Cash only. Tiny place. Only worth coming when there is live Jazz.

    No longer serve spherical ice balls but still makes a good old fashioned. Limited in whiskey selections.

    The perfect after date drink place in the lower west. Order the "Fair and Day" (off menu) - a rum based revelation haha. Or something a little sweet, try their "Dominicana."

    If you're one for martinis, order a Tuxedo No. 2, the predecessor to the traditional cocktail. Gin + Absinthe = Heaven.

    Many old rules apply in this place: No misbehaving, no loud and boisterous behaviour. If you are not sure what you want, name a liquor you enjoy, and they'll give you a list of what they can make.

    This place has old school cocktails, nightly jazz, and the dark mood-lighting only associated with a 1920s speakeasy.

    This West Village basement lounge is owned by mixologist Joseph Schwartz. Drinks are served with ice that's custom-made for each glass.

    Indecisive? Tell a bartender what you like. Week from hell? A stiff rye is better than a good cry!
