Talia & Matt's Favorite NYC Bars

Matt Russell: Mayflower Sour - all the things: blourbon, butternut squash, lemon, egg white

Talia Fisher: The linden corner is delicious. Pink peppercorn! I've had the garden variety margarita in the past as well and it was pretty good but a bit intense.

Talia Fisher: The Monroe is a strong yet solid drink choice. No frills yet tasty.

The Corcoran Group: Go through the Japanese restaurant and to the unmarked door that faces you as you get to the hostess stand. No parties more than 4. The specialty cocktails are impressive here.

Talia Fisher: Kind of slow service once happy hour gets into full swing. Good drinks though.

Emily Kane: Wonderful spot! Open and breezy with creative cocktails that transport you to a tropical island.

Talia Fisher: Charmane's star is an awesome drink

Dustin Lee: Great happy hour: half off their great cocktails, $5 drafts, wells, and wines. Bartender (Gina?) was a sweetheart. Very cozy environment

Talia Fisher: They habitually change their drink menu so cocktails I've previously recommended are no longer available. My current fav is The Laidback.

Anna Frenkel: Favorite bar right now. The decor, music, atmosphere, munchies -- all rad. Tell the bartender what your preferred liquor is, and the mood you're in. S/he will make you a delicious cocktail. Trust.

Matt Russell: Get the Pistache

Talia Fisher: So far I've had the spirit of diplomacy and death and taxes and LOVE them! Can't go wrong with either.

Sam Brown: Once through the front door it feels like you have been transported back to a 1940's cocktail lounge, plush seating, dim lights and a huge old oak bar. Drink a Whiskey Sour.

Lindsay C: Cocktails and jazz.

Elliot Wehner: Great cocktails. Do the classics right and let's you choose the booze for their specialty cocktails. 50s paradise theme is cool

Brad Benson: Cool spot! Entrance is via the staircase in the back of the Five Guys downstairs!

Fiona Goldstein: Cute speak easy type place with great cocktails and roof seating in the warmer months

New York Habitat: Despite the name, sorry, we've told and so have many others. Enter through the phone booth and go back in time to a prohibition era speakeasy. Sit at the bar if you can, the bartenders are great.

Matt Russell: Sit in the booths in the back and get access to the bar

Mazda: Established in 1854 - McSorley's can boast of being New York City's oldest continuously operated saloon. Everyone from Abe Lincoln to John Lennon have passed thru Mcsorley's swinging doors.

Hannah Y.: Cozy sake bar with a cool atmosphere and a wide selections of sake! One of my favorite sake bars.

AskMen: ACB Co. has 350 domestic beers by the bottle, a battery of imports, a dozen draft lines, local sundries, a cheese case, & a 16-ft communal table for drinking and snacking on sandwiches & charcuterie. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

Thrillist: Beer gardens are better than real gardens. Booze here while snacking on the pretzels, which're stuffed-and-covered with a mix of Gruyere and Parm. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

Gothamist: Newest Barcade will open today on St. Mark's Place. It's mostly '90s games, with lots and lots of fighting games. The main attractions will be the beer, wine, and bar food. Thu, 10/9. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

Lauren: Pitch perfect decor, impeccable cocktail menu, good service. And best of all they serve "high- end" jello-shots! I can already tell this will be my new favorite bar.

Blake Whitman: Go to the roof. Drink beer. Look at the empire state building.

The Corcoran Group: One of our favorite hot new spots to drink outdoors. Best part - they have board games to keep you busy while you sip a beer.

Claudia Schumacher: It is so great to have such cool bar in Midtown! The bartenders are great guys and very knowledgeable, the cocktails are awesome and the atmosphere is perfect!
