Coming To A Neighborhood Near You

It’s nice going to that upscale bar or lounge with your friends, hanging out, drinking it up and dancing it up like it is the end of the millennium. However, at the end of the night, after you have finished popping bottles and toe tapping, you get that bill for those jugs of Patron and those fancy appetizers, and then you remember that $20 cover charge you paid to get in, and all of a sudden, it does not seem worth it.

Then you realize that you could have just went to that local club or bar around your apartment building, and you can’t believe you paid all of that money for leather seats and fake ambiance.

Well, the next time you are in need of some late night, socialite fun, make sure that you pay heed to this list of bars, in a neighborhood near you, that will more that satisfy your appetite for a little nightlife entertainment.

Upper Westside
420 Bar & Lounge
420 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10024

Remember when you were little and your parents took you buy a bike? Your parents were about to get you that plain old blue thing on the rack, but you wanted that sparkling royal blue one with 10-speed gear, bells, whistles and hand brakes that was out for display. Your parents wound up getting you that blue one off the rack, and you ended up enjoying that bike for the next 7 years and you could not imagine ever having gotten that other thing. Well 420 Bar is like that plain old good bike; it will get the job done while making you forget about that other bar and all of its bells and whistles. 420 has two floors, three bars and hundreds of patrons each day that can make a bar feel like a bar. It is very easy to lose track of time chatting it up with other young, urban professionals, but for drinks that are priced at $5-$7, and one heck of DJ, all of sudden, your plans do not seem so important anymore.

Greenwich Village
R Bar
218 Bowery Street, New York, NY 10012

Located in the heart of the village, R Bar is one of the coolest places you will find in a locale know for being trendy. When you go inside, the interior will make you feel like you just walked into a 70’s rock concert. There are no chic and fancy couches and paintings. Instead, you will find images of Mick Jagger and leather-clad models. The only thing that is hot and sexy about R Bar is the New York singles that go there. There is plenty of space to find you one those sexy singles and dance, talk or make-out to all night. It tends to get rowdy at the R Bar; apparently, people who go there do not seem to adhere to the “don’t get drunk on Wednesday rule” anymore.

Union Square
Underbar
201 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10003

On any given Saturday night in New York City, you could pay a big cover and spend lots of money on a bottle of alcohol and a private room at some club or lounge. On the other hand, you could just go to the Underbar, get in free, and take up one of their infamous curtain-enclosed enclaves that offer you and your party all of the privacy you could possibly need. The best part is that you do not have to buy a bottle to sit there. Nevertheless, once you are around all of the sexy men and women, laughing, socializing, grooving and rendezvousing, you will probably want to buy a bottle anyway just to keep up with everyone else! It will get crowded on the weekends, and it is the perfect pick-up spot, because there is only one bar and so everyone who comes through ends up there at least four or five times a night. Therefore, when the woman or man of your dreams stops by at the Underbar, you can’t miss’em!
