There is no better scotch cocktail than the Philadelphia Story, which is mixed with amaro averna, st. germain, grapefruit, and bitters. It's smoky, spicy, with a strong hint of citrus.
One of our ten best Manhattan bars-The bartender will whittle you a perfectly spherical ice ball for your Old Fashioned right before your eyes. A jazz trio keeps the place hopping.
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. An unlikely mash-up between Polynesian and punk, it's got very large, very strong rum drinks. We recommend the Zombie. Read more.

Reynolds is the best mixologist I've met. I highly recommend the Waterloo Sunset.

sexy cocktail lounge above the fray of houston street, you might just be in burma, i love the jamaican firefly and the old cuban, both drinks not people btw
Smith & Mills is one of my favorite places in the city. Better to go earlier in the evening (or on a weekend or on an off-night). Otherwise, the tiny spot is packed+loses charm
Tino the bartender is super-sweet and makes a mean cocktail. Try the Flowers on the Wall.
Cocktails like the Bourbon Highball (bourbon, lemon, simple syrup, soda) or the El Diablo (tequila, ginger syrup, lime, crème de cassis, soda) stay cool with hand-carved ice.
