These are my regular spots to enjoy a drink. Mainly in the West Village, but also a few in Nolita and the East Village.
1. Eataly Downtown
2. Johnny's Bar
Tarik Hart: One of the last authentic dive bars in the village. Get the window seat.
3. WXOU Radio Bar
Tarik Hart: Cash only. The two booths by the window are great for people watching.
4. Highlands
5. 124 Old Rabbit Club
Dens: Diviest dive-bar in the West Village? Lots of beers on the menu (too many?) and definitely not enough light to read the list. Ask the bartender to pick something awesome.
6. Spring Lounge
7. Standings
Tarik Hart: They show Pac12 games during football season. Cal gets sound. #GoBears
8. The Biergarten at The Standard
Tarik Hart: Weekday afternoons during the summer are the best times to go. Afterwork and weekends are slammed.
9. The Jane Hotel Ballroom
10. The Four-Faced Liar
11. Barrow Street Ale House
12. The Rusty Knot
13. The Windsor
14. Analogue
Tarik Hart: Great cocktails and a classy vibe.
15. The Brooklyneer
16. The Library
Tarik Hart: Good jukebox. Cheap beer. Relaxed vibe. Thumbs up.
17. The Wren
Tarik Hart: Solid Bloody Mary.
18. Alexandra
Tarik Hart: Great weekday happy hour. Six dollar quality cocktails in the village can't be beat.
19. The Spotted Pig
Tarik Hart: Can't have brunch here without getting a Bloody Mary. Get there just before 11 and you'll get a seat.
20. Corner Bistro
Tarik Hart: Obviously the burgers, but in case you need to use a pay phone, don't sweat it, they have you covered.
21. Automatic Slims
Tarik Hart: Good weekday happy hour. Weekend nights are a madhouse, but fun.
22. Tortilla Flats
Tarik Hart: Trivia night on Sunday's. Get a question right, get a shot of tequila. That might not be a positive.
23. Mole Restaurante Mexicano & Tequileria
