Attended an event at Smug Brewery! Tim and Annie were awesome!!! Fun and informative….they are passionate about Bonsai and it shows! Looking forward to future events with different species!! Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!No. Our events are ticketed per person, not per tree, so everyone attending must have a ticket. This is because space is limited in our venues and we need to be able to sell tickets for every seat we have available. If someone takes a seat in our space without having purchased a ticket, that means someone who purchased a ticket may not have a seat. Thank you for understanding.

We had an amazing time and now my husband is bonsai obsessed! He’s been researching and watching videos, and every walk he is looking out for more trees that would be good to bonsai. This was the perfect introduction to a new hobby! Y’all were so knowledgeable, funny, and inspiring. We hope to make part 2 in 9 months or so. Thank you!We went to Bonsai Bar at Trident Booksellers on 10 FEB 2022. We had a great time, thank you so much. I highly recommend doing this. Tim and Ben made it relaxing, funny and they were super helpful.

What a fun event. my husband and I both had a good time. The guys were knowledgable, funny and so helpful. If you haven’t signed up for one of these classes yet..DO IT!!I had a great time at the most recent Bonsai Bar event. The class was fun and informative. The instructors were very hands-on and you could tell they truly enjoyed what they were doing. If you are interested in getting into bonsai this was a great place to start. I could not have been happier with the entire experience.Maybe! We want everyone of all ages to get to enjoy the fun of tiny trees.

To find out how not to totally blow it when talking to members of the fairer sex, we consulted a group of women who’ve collectively been romantically flailed at by thousands of hopeless men. Here’s their advice, in their own words. If you’re in a bar, flirting with a woman you’re interested in doing sex stuff with, there are a million ways to screw up that encounter. You could be creepy. You could forget to buy her friends a drink. You could accidentally attribute a poem about love to Rilke when it was clearly John Donne! “I feel like having the right mindset going in is key. That person you’re going to approach is just another human. And if they don’t want to talk to you, it’s okay, you will find someone who does. They’re not a bad person or a bitch or an asshole just because they’re not interested in having a conversation with you.”

“Wait for a response. Guys nowadays think that buying the drink gives you permission to talk to and even harass that person. You should always think of buying the drink as a selfless gesture. It deserves no more than a ‘thank you’ if accepted.”Dan Gentile is a staff writer on Thrillist’s National Food and Drink team. He’d like to thank all the women who contributed to this. May their lives be filled with free beverages of their choosing and tasteful jukebox selections. Follow him to giving all this a try at @Dannosphere.The last drinking neighborhood on our New York list is Greenwich Village. Dante, Café Wha?, and a host of other cocktail and beer serving bars and restaurants deliver a memorable experience, giving Existing Conditions a run for their cocktail money in the market. The latter operate cocktail vending machines that run all day, providing bottled martinis, manhattans, cokes, and rums infused with popcorn.

Though it’s a small neighborhood, West Village features some of the most celebrated drinking outlets ever. Little Branch, one of the speakeasies in the area, offers classic cocktails that usually attract a huge crowd. The basement bar is unmarked and has no written menu. However, the bartenders own a traditional repertoire of excellent recipes.

In the middle of dumpling houses and restaurants, lay several cocktail bars. Go to Doyers Street and Apotheke, where New York die-hard drinkers run rampage on boozy elixirs featuring exotic spices and herbs you will see in the neighborhood’s Chinese shops. The space inside have an old-looking setting that reminds one of the apothecary worlds.The golden city of New York is home to some of the wildest population of booze lovers in America. There are ways New Yorkers viewed their neighborhoods when it comes to drinking. In this case, you have o locate the best bars around a particular neighborhood if you want to enjoy the best from drinking. If you are one of those nightlife enthusiasts, the East Village neighborhood offers you an incredible experience. Here in this area, you will see more people during the night than you have in the day. The other bar is Diamond Lil. Space here is smaller, compare to Goldie, but have a better intimate feel. The cocktails list sold here is excellent, and the prices are reasonable.Apart from the art galleries that dominate this neighborhood, there are places where you can have a good drink. If you are on a date, visit the Raines Law Room. The bar is unmarked, and as you step into it, it would feel like you’re stepping into a parlor complete with Victorian design plush sofas and fittings. It’s a great place to request excellent table services.But for the serious and dedicated cocktail lovers, Attaboy is the bar to be. Just a few blocks from Apotheke and you will find yourself in this dimly lit bar space of excellent memories.While there are many dive bars and Irish pubs in Midtown that serve the crowd’s needs that come visiting after working hours, this neighborhood still has some remarkable cocktail bars that are worth considering.This neighborhood boast of two beautiful bars. The first is the Broken Shaker that lay side-by-side of the Gabe Orta’s record-breaking bar and Elad Zvi, whose famous cocktail is causing a scene—has attracted huge crowds since it started operations at the top of the hotel’s roof. However, if you feel that you cannot stand the line up there, proceed downstairs and et into the George Washington Bar. The Old Town Bar also offers some nice shots, or go to Union Square for some quality beer.For a new and unique speakeasy experience, visit the 18th-Room and enjoy a bespoke and tasty cocktail concierge moment. Joseph Boroski, the international bartender, is on round to provide you with quality sustainable cocktails.

Dive bars such as Death & Company—the best of them all– for a round-table cocktail experience, McSorley’s Old Ale House for the cocktail den, and Armory Amargo’s specialty in Italian bittersweet liquors makes East Village an excellent neighborhood for drinking.

When you move farther North to St. Regis, NY, you will find the King Cole Bar, which happens to be among the best hotel-bars around. It is popular for inventing what everyone knows as the Bloody Mary. Another three restaurants that sell wine, beer, and cocktails opened last year at the Philip Johnson’s Seagram building. A new Pool Lounge is also in that area. The cocktail old here (with mixtures of cucumber, absinthe, cane sugar, and lime) is among the most delicious and prettiest cocktails in the entire city.I know you’re conversant with the fact that Greenpoint is synonymous with wealthy bars and great restaurants. Go to Nassau Avenue, and you will find two of the most excellent bars in the neighborhood. The first is Goldie, with a surrounding that evokes memories of the 70s. The tables are topped with glitter gold design, jungle animal paintings, and red leather booths with portraits of dead celebs create a serene atmosphere for a memorable drinking night. You might think all of these don’t make for the right drinking settings, but you are wrong. The craft beer selection at Goldie is solid, plus it also has several frozen cocktails they usually served their visitors out of good-looking slushie machines. Plus, you can request and get free gold-fish crackers.

Go a bit farther, and you will arrive at Employees Only, a bar that is regarded as one of the world’s best. The interior design is gorgeous, and they serve creative tastes of different varieties.

As we continued our crawl we hit Beacon’s newest bar, The Vinyl Room. Recently relocated from Wappingers Falls, the Vinyl Room was packed with a young crowd and loud music. The record store/bar appears to have focused more on cocktails after their move to Beacon, but still had a wide variety of beers on tap.With so many new bars and restaurants open in Beacon, deciding where to grab a pint can be a bit overwhelming. On a recent tour (er, drunken pub crawl) around town, I made it my mission to discover the bar with the very best beer list.

With all of this great beer being produced in Beacon, you’d think the bars would be stocked with some of the finest ales and lagers in the world — and you’d be right. On a recent trip to Beacon, we toured several establishments and were blown away by their on-tap offerings.Our next stop was Wonderbar, an upscale spot located just off the lobby of the movie theater. This cozy little bar was a pleasant surprise. Although Wonderbar is more focused on cocktails, the limited beer menu still included some winners like the Von Trapp Vienna Lager and Logical Conclusion from Threes Brewing. A bonus was complimentary still or bubbly water, which was a nice way to stay hydrated as we prepared for our next stop. If you think a hybrid brewery and record store is unique, you won’t have to travel far for another great bar/business mashup on Main Street. Happy Valley Arcade Bar is exactly as advertised. The bar and retro video game arcade doesn’t take itself too seriously, and how could it? With the sounds of power pellets getting munched and high scores being broken, the wide-open space is an adult playground. Old-school laminate booths are scattered around with plenty of places to sit and relax, that is if you can tear yourself away from the games. There are beers that will satisfy everyone from the casual drinker to the serious beer fan. On our visit, they had Blue Moon, Coors Light and Heineken as well as beers from Industrial Arts, Sloop and cider from Hudson North. Just up the street is Draught Industries, which is a place that needs to be on every Beacon pub crawl list. The long, skinny bar surrounds happy drinkers with walls of old, rustic brick. While their tap list was impressive with beers from Toppling Goliath, Hill Farmstead and Grimm, visitors shouldn’t forget to check out their rotating can selections. During our visit, Draught had Focal Banger from The Alchemist, which I actually prefer over Heady Topper. There were also some incredible offerings from Equilibrium, Hudson Valley Brewery and Foam, a great little brewery in Burlington, VT.

(Added by Ord. No. 158,498, Eff. 12/31/83.)The ordinance, which was requested by the Santa Monica Police Department, amends the City’s existing law’s prohibition against drinking in public by further prohibiting any person from carrying open alcoholic containers within public parks and beaches. The ordinance provides an exemption to persons consuming alcohol or carrying alcoholic containers on public property, if they are doing so pursuant to a City issued license, permit, or lease which authorizes such activities.

(c) No person shall drink any malt, spirituous or vinous liquor containing more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol by volume, upon any street, sidewalk or parkway, park, playground, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, or in any railroad depot or bus station, or in any public place, or in any place open to the patronage of the public, which premises are not licensed for the consumption of such liquor on the premises.(f) As used in Subsections (d) and (g) of this section, “posted premises” means those premises which are subject to licensure under any retail package off-sale alcoholic beverage license, the parking lot immediately adjacent to the licensed premises, and any public sidewalk immediately adjacent to the licensed premises on which clearly visible notices have placed pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (e) of this section.

Heads up to everyone that attends the Santa Monica Pier “Twilight Dance Series“: The Santa Monica City Council just passed a new amendment to 4.08.200 of the Municipal Code that makes it easier for the police to ticket people for open containers in the public parks and beaches of Santa Monica!

In addition to refreshing, fruit-forward beer and seasonal suds, cocktails, wine, and snacks are also on the menu. Sit inside our out, grab a draft and pick up some canned beer to go when it’s time to say goodnight.

This ideally-calibrated restaurant and bar opened in January, with the former mostly up front and the latter in the back. That dedicated drinking section has a long row of high-back stools, a few roomy booths and a pool table all surrounded by exposed brick walls, a black and white-tiled floor and a pressed-tin ceiling. The recessed dining room is awash in red sauce charm. NYC’s best new martini is available throughout, plus more cocktails, wine and beer.

This three-year-old bar in Greenwich Village was recently named the tenth best in the world, making it NYC’s highest-ranking contender. See what the buzz is about over highballs, carefully crafted signature cocktails, boilermakers, sake, beer and wine across Katana Kitten’s two stylish floors. Skewers and small plates are available to pair.While many of the best views in NYC are free, they’re even better when they come with cocktails. Panorama Room on the 18th floor of the Graduate Roosevelt Island hotel has outstanding vistas of the NYC skyline through its walls of windows and from out on its sweeping terrace.

Pegu Club alum Kenta Goto’s polished black-and-gold venture is nicely secluded from the chaos of nearby Houston Street. Expert cocktails are joined by many Japanese whisky varieties and a brief but satisfying snack menu.Good Judy has been “a home for queers + allies to join together in unity and solidarity” since it opened in July of 2020. Enter through the narrow facade and you’ll find a half-dozen seats at the glossy bar on the main level, a piano lounge upstairs and a patio in the back. Good Judy also hosts events like karaoke, bingo and viewing parties.

Expertly shaken and stirred cocktails have been topping 67 Orange Street’s bar and two floors of tables since it first opened uptown in 2008. Slip into the stylish brick-lined space for novel cocktails created by its own bartenders, plus beer and wine.

This mildly maritime-esque bar’s menu is frequently updated with themes like CATS!–”not the musical” and Nicholas Cage. This season’s sips nod to summer camp, evoking in its drinks s’mores around the campfire and games of truth or dare. Some of Grand Army’s greatest hits are also available.

Visit the beautiful Bar Room in the historic Beekman Hotel for high-key romance that really wows. The soaring atrium locale is ornate from its soaring ceiling down to the bar, which is topped with martinis and all manner of other classic and creative cocktails. Tables, armchairs and large booths populate the rest of the space, should you wish to sink in a little longer.No dearly departed hares here: The Dead Rabbit has been one of NYC’s most award-winning locales since it first opened in the sometimes sleepy Financial District in 2013. The place still gets packed for terrific food and drinks, including a best in class Irish coffee.

First opened in the earlier years of NYC’s great cocktail resurgence, Death & Co. is still a top pick for booze devotees who take their spirits seriously. Seating is first come, first served in its effortlessly glamorous space, so prepare to break a sweat if you’re trying to nab a spot at peak imbibing times.Milday’s is back, baby! Previously a beloved dive bar by the same name that occupied this space for several decades, it’s been lovingly reimagined with excellent cocktails and a lengthy menus, including one of NYC’s best burgers.

Sohui Kim, Ben Schneider and St. John Frizell’s glittering Gage & Tollner revival was one of NYC’s best new restaurants of 2021, and the team followed that smashing success with Sunken Harbor Club upstairs. The permanent addition picks up where Frizell’s weekly parties of the same name left off at Fort Defiance when the Red Hook favorite relocated. Sunken Harbor Club’s new forever space has dramatic enchanted shipwreck themes and studied drink menus as deep as the sea.If you know anything about one of the world’s most famous speakeasy-style bars (sip the irony), you know that it is located down a few stairs, inside Crif Dogs, and beyond a phone booth that longtime bartender and present owner Jeff Bell points out may be unrecognizable to the newest generation of drinkers. Whether you’re dabbling in low-ABV libations, making your way through dedicated martini menus or collecting passwords for pseudo speakeasies, there is an ideal location for every taste, tolerance and occasion. Find them among the 50 best bars in NYC right now. Smith Street’s designation as an eating and drinking destination has ebbed and flowed over the years, but Brooklyn Social has held steady as a prime cocktail spot since 2004. It seems to have settled out of its once impossibly crowded state, but we’re always looking over our shoulder for the masses to return to its low key bar, flock around its backroom pool table and fill up its hidden patio once more.

Hovering near the top of special occasion libation destinations, Overstory is also poised among the clouds on the 64th floor of a downtown Art Deco skyscraper. Yes, special occasion is still a euphemism for spendy, and Overstory actually pays off as a ‘worth it’ splurge. Its nicely crafted cocktails are all $24, and the views from its wrap-around terrace approach priceless.

The Central Casting ideal of Old New York, the Carlyle Hotel’s throwback grandeur is juxtaposed with Ludwig Bemelmans’ whimsical original murals here at his namesake bar. It’s as expensive as you’d expect, and the cover charge that starts at $10 after 5:30pm gets you a seat and nothing more, but $24 cocktails like the JFK daiquiri, and aviation aren’t too much more than you’ll spend in less lovely environs.Occupying a corner spot that operated under the same name for five decades, and now ten years into its second act, Long Island Bar comes by its retro-lite ambiance honestly. Its flickering neon beckons eventual—inevitable—guests from all the way down the block, and rewards their patronage with comforting, welcoming environs and best-in-class gimlets and martinis, plus beer, wine and a full menu. It has a way of filling up fast, and the addition of outdoor seating hasn’t actually eased the crowds that much.

The team behind Dear Irving added a second outpost on the 40th and 41st floors of the Aliz Hotel in Times Square in 2019. Its high design is a little 60s-era James Bond and a little Art Deco, and -on Hudson serves some of the best cocktails in an area where venues often skate by on simply existing.Aptly named Old Town has occupied its ever-changing neighborhood a block above Union Square since 1892. It was possibly pushed into actual speakeasy status during prohibition, but the bar does not dine out on that confoundingly popular designation today. Instead, the large-but-easily-crowded staple’s neon sign beckons all for beer and all the other expected beverages, plus bar food. It’s also one of the easiest hangouts in the retail-saturated Union Square area. A real-deal dive bar in an area less and less hospitable to the genre, Montero’s a grizzled old charmer decked out in the seafaring accoutrement you’d expect from a spot that got its start serving sailors so many years ago. Today, it lights up on karaoke nights when visitors belt out PBR-emboldened versions of former and current hits. Grand Central Terminal itself is rather beautiful, but running its gauntlet always requires a reward. The Campbell, née, The Campbell Apartment, in the building’s southwest corner, is the closest and best place to get one. Once the massive office of the ur-rich NYC finance guy for which it’s twice named, The Campbell’s present form toasts its original leaded-glass windows, soaring hand-painted ceiling and stone fireplace with classic cocktails. This is what all those latter-day speakeasies aspire to without the goofy costuming.Historic Julius’s autobiographical headline is “New York’s oldest gay bar and Greenwich Village’s oldest bar.” Today, the small, iconic spot hosts parties, events and a happy hour weekdays from 5pm to 7pm. It’s also known for its burgers, available in a few varieties, plus sandwiches, classic sides and bar snacks.

Dating back to 1762, Fraunces Tavern doesn’t look a day over 261. In addition to modern conveniences like indoor plumbing, its distinct spaces serve as a one-stop-shop for a few different photo-ops: grab a beer at the main bar, sip Brenne beside the fireplace in the whiskey room or head up to the landmarked building’s more recent concept, its, second floor piano bar.A few steps below the sidewalk, Jadis wine bar seems suffused with effortless romance and incidental magic–qualities frequently copied with low, golden lighting schemes and chicly rustic design, but seldom truly captured at quite this pulse-quickening pace. Be careful who you share that carafe with, as it’s easy to get infatuated here.Best New Bar honoree in our 2021 Best of the City Awards, Sidney’s Five is also a terrific full-service restaurant with fantastic charbroiled oysters, andouille corn dogs, fish and chips, burgers and raw bar items. The whole place is great, and its lovely, long bar shines even in the super booze-saturated East Village. Sidle up for a whole dedicated martini menu, plus more cocktails, wine and beer.Manhattan’s best dive bar in a borough where they’re ever-dwindling, Jimmy’s Corner first opened near Times Square in 1971. Today, the late famed boxer and trainer Jimmy Glenn’s iconic, memorabilia-rich spot attracts excited crowds from near and far, while maintaining its neighborhood charm with easy to swallow prices.

Evil Twin’s novel suds are beloved by craft beer devotees who got a brewery, nicely-sized taproom and adjacent, roomy outdoor space to sip the stuff back in 2019.The bar at Contento, one of the best new restaurants of 2021, has enough wines by the glass to keep us coming back, but not so many that we never get around to actually ordering, plus beer, cocktails and a terrific dinner menu. Said bar also has just enough spots to give the full-service restaurant equal drinking and eating crossover destination appeal, and its design keeps people with disabilities front of mind.

This Williamsburg mainstay beloved for its chicly distressed interior and romantic ambiance is best known for its oysters and absinthe. Sip a potent variety of the anise-forward spirit in the lush backyard.The team behind Harlem’s popular ramen destination ROKC (where drinks quickly became the main attraction) was at it again at the end of 2019 when they opened NR on East 75th Street. Super-simply named cocktails betray their show-stealing presentation: the mezcal-based Grapefruit is literally smoking, the tequila Cucumber is served in a green bell pepper, and the Pineapple + Passionfruit with rum is on fire. One of NYC’s latest viewstaurants (that is, restaurants with a view) opened on the sixth floor of Williamsburg’s Wythe hotel in 2021. In addition to its lovely vistas, Bar Blondeau has small plates, plus lots of beer, wine and cocktails to choose from, including more low- and no-alcohol options than you’ll see elsewhere. Yet another one of recent years’ ubiquitous speakeasy-inspired bars, Saint Tuesday is closer to the archetype than any of the rest. Its Cortlandt Alley entrance is hard enough to find to humble even the most smug among us, and getting to the bar still feels like the Goodfellas Copa shot once you’re through the door. It’s also pretty inside with vaguely old-fashioned design, there’s live music every night, the drinks are good and, as of last spring, reservations are available to make getting in a little easier.Mace has been a regular on local and international “best of” lists since it first opened in 2015. A later move to West 8th Street gives the perennial fave a little more room for outdoor dining, in addition to a comfortable interior and 27-foot zinc bar. Sip spice and botanical-forward cocktails, or one of the best frozen drinks in town, and see how fast you’ll make Mace your own personal recommendation.

This decades-old East Village mainstay—said to have hosted Frank Sinatra, Allen Ginsberg and Joey Ramone—is a welcome anomaly in a city with so much turnover. And though the place has been polished in more recent years—duct-taped booths traded for green banquettes, neon beer signs for gilded sconces—its charm never dulled.

This Time Out New York Best of the City award winner first opened in Queens in 2009. The ever-popular spot still makes standout cocktails, including the bespoke creations that first put it on the map, in an environment that’s relaxed a lot over the years.An NYC classic (of somewhat recent origin; Attaboy opened in the famed Milk and Honey space in 2012) untethered from speakeasy-trappings in 2020 with an outdoor expansion, this LES cocktail leader was one of a few bars in its genre to demonstrate greatness even absent all the cloak and dagger themes. It decommissioned its patio last fall, so you can get back to fully playing prohibition at the steel-brushed bar inside.

This exemplar cocktailer in a historic clock tower that was once a piano factory where portraits of long-ago luminaries presently line the walls sure checks a lot of boxes. Fill in the rest over Champagne Charlies, made with gin or vodka, honey, passionfruit, lemon juice and prosecco and served in a coupe.By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news, events, offers and partner promotions.

When it comes to rooftop bars, few do it better than the buzzing Elephante Beach House, with a vibrant nightlife scene, unique cocktails, custom furniture and unbeatable atmosphere.With everything from dive bars to upscale lounges and live music venues, Santa Monica’s nightlife scene has something for every kind of nightlife-goer.
