There are many places to get drinks as a single person in New York City. Whether you want to kick back at a low-key dive bar or show off your dancing skills, there is a place for everyone. You can also try Judy & Punch, which is a saloon-style bar with cool cocktails.
e’s Bar
e’s Bar is a great place to hang out in the Upper West Side. This bar offers classic cocktails and a vintage vibe that makes it the perfect place for singles to meet new people. It also has a fun atmosphere that will make you want to stay all night.
The place is divided into several areas, including the main bar, a small middle area, and the back “Rumpus Room.” Brick walls, graffiti-sticker covered surfaces, tufted banquettes, and neon define this neighborhood favorite. The jukebox plays classic rock, and the crowd is mostly neighborhood folk.
You can grab a booth in the front and eat a burger while watching a game or play some board games with your friends. This place is reminiscent of old-school downtown music dive bars, but for grown ups.
Keybar
The Keybar is one of the coolest places to go single in NYC. It has a laid-back vibe, great music and board games. It also has a good selection of drinks and food. There are drink specials during the week and happy hour. You can even get free shots on your birthday!
In 2014, Mike left his full-time job to pursue his passion for making EDC key organizers. Today, KeyBar has a thriving online store, retailers around the country are carrying them, and they have an entire team of employees in their Savannah, Georgia machine shop. KeyBars are made from many different materials, and they use Harvey Tool and Helical Solutions end mills to make them. The resulting KeyBar is sleek, durable and light.
Skinny Dennis
Skinny Dennis is a fun honky-tonk dive bar in Williamsburg that offers good bourbon and cheap beer. It also has a live music venue that features country artists. Its small space makes it a tight fit, but it adds to the fun atmosphere of the place. The bar has a variety of cocktails that are sure to please every palate.
This Brooklyn bar opened in 2013, but you wouldn’t know it by the worn wooden interior plastered with penned-on graffiti and local art stickers. There’s a pool table and juke box, and the bar is open late every night of the week. Its saloon vibe is a haven for country fans, but it’s not intimidating to any New Yorker. They even have hot peanuts for you to eat while drinking your drink!
Judy & Punch
For centuries, Punch and Judy puppet shows entertained audiences with a story about a violent husband beating his wife and their baby. Australian actress and filmmaker Mirrah Foulkes uses this historical setting as her inspiration for her feature directorial debut Judy and Punch. The movie stars Mia Wasikowska and Damon Herriman.
The dark humor isn’t for the faint of heart. Some pretty awful things are played for laughs, but there is something gratifying about watching Judy turn the tables on centuries of mistreatment.
The laid back bar has a lengthy list of local brews and generous pours, but the real draw is its social atmosphere. Show off your niche knowledge at trivia night or meet fellow RuPaul’s Drag Race fans at weekly watch parties.
