Beer, beer and more beer. This place has well over a hundred kinds of beer to choose from. There are a huge variety of whiskeys and the usual mixed drink concoctions. While the food selections are limited, the Guinness stew is terrific.

An Ian Schrager icon from the 1980s, this bar has recently undergone a major facelift. Victorian chairs and crystal chandeliers have replaced the vinyl booths of yesteryear. A far cry from what it used to be, it's still somehow managed to retain the same low key vibe.

A Randy Gerber bar with the usual sense of style and well-heeled after-work crowds. Trendy and expensive, it has more than its fair share of fans. Located in the W Hotel right on Lexington, it gets particularly crowded in early evenings.
