From happy hours to drink specials to just plain old good prices, New York's rife with watering holes that won't dilute your bank account.
Since 1999, the Slipper Room has been instrumental in reviving—perhaps even creating—the burlesque community in New York City, for the first eleven years as the cozy, intimate cocktail lounge it once was, and now as the two-level burlesque theater and bar and it's become. James H...
167 Orchard StreetDon’t really feel like leaving the comfort of your own living room for the evening, but still want to listen to some great live music? Then transplant yourself to a living room that is probably a hell of a lot bigger than yours, has cocktail waitresses, live music and amazing aco...
134 Metropolitan Ave (bet. Berry and Wythe)Great live music in an interesting venue on the Lower East Side's original nightlife capital, Ludlow Street. You never know who (or what) will be playing here, but a good time is guaranteed. Some shows are free, and others usually range from $5 to $10.
158 Ludlow St.2A has been around forever, and that's what makes it so special; a survivor of the punk era, you go there plastered or to get plastered. The furniture lends itself to getting wasted, and the tunes are great. Drinks are reasonably priced, and some of the patrons look like they're ...

236 West 78th StWood-clad and dimly-lit, the Barrow Street Ale House is a bit of yesteryear (well, yestercentury, really) in the West Village.
15 Barrow StreetEast Village pub with a long bar, cheap booze and the youthful hordes that come with it. Long time staple of East Village carousing, great place to start - or end - or do the in-between - of an evening. Popular with the kids from nearby NYU.
155 2nd AveNow over four score old, Arthur's still provides the same jazzy environment--and the music to match--that it has since 1937. The style of the live music offerings waver between jazz and blues and there's never a cover. The two drink minimum is more for show than anything else, as...
