McSorley's Old Ale House New York

The last bar in NYC to admit women. The rowdy atmosphere remains in the floor covered in sawdust and demanding barmen (hint: Pay up-front and tip heavily or they’ll stand there and ask for more). The only thing to drink is the house beer, which comes in two flavors — light or dark. What’ll it be, lassie?

Hugs New York

Late-night spot where a young crowd with asymmetrical haircuts dances to electro-pop and indie bands while sipping local beers (if their budgets allow). The long, tunnel-like space has a stage at the back and games like Skee-Ball in the front.
