The Last Call in Williamsburg is a retro punk rock izakaya that features a DJ spinning vinyl under a spinning disco ball on Fridays and Saturdays.

Yakitori is available from Thursday to Sunday, but you can stop by any day of the week to enjoy fun snacks at the bar, such as wonton nachos topped with tuna and spicy mayonnaise. Al Coro in Chelsea is a great spot for those looking for a relaxed atmosphere; Discolo is basically two relatively small octagonal rooms, one with a bar and the other with small round tables. Keys & Heels is one of New York City's most popular speakeasies. This bar disguises itself as a locksmith and shoe repair shop that opened its doors in 1971. Inside, you'll find lots of bistro tables, a disco ball, comfortable sofas, and well-prepared cocktails with names like Barefoot & Topless and Late Night Lover. The Bar at Baccarat Hotel is one of New York's most creative cocktail bars; it has an exclusive dance club (without cover) on the ground floor and serves some of New York's most creative cocktails in an elegant setting. The Campbell is another one of New York City's best cocktail bars located in Grand Central Terminal.

PDT (which stands for Please Don't Tell) hides behind a telephone booth inside the hot dog venue Crif Dogs. The bar master Jeff Bell has won all kinds of awards for his concoctions which are very legitimate.

Bailey's Corner Pub on the Upper East Side has been a favorite of locals since the 1950s; it's known for its attractive murals that adorn its walls.
