Where To Eat At The Bar Right Now In NYC
13 NYC restaurants with bars where you can have a great solo dinner or eat with a friend.
Jupiter
Jupiter is an all-day Italian spot that works well for any situation in Midtown, and while pastas are the focus here, their other dishes deserve just as much attention.
Filé Gumbo Bar
This spacious place in Tribeca will satisfy your craving for Cajun and Creole, even though the food isn't on the same level as what you'd find in New Orleans.
Vinatería
Vinatería is an Italian-Spanish restaurant that's one of the best spots in Harlem for a romantic night out.
Casa Tulum
Casa Tulum is a Mexican spot in the South Street Seaport that makes you feel like you're steps away from sand and ocean. Prioritize the aguachile and tacos.
Reyna
Reyna, a Toronto import near Union Square, serves Mediterranean fusion food in a loungy space. This large restaurant is ideal for drinks and sharing small plates.
E.A.K. Ramen
Stop by E.A.K. Ramen in the West Village for hard-to-find iekei-style ramen and crispy gyoza on a cast iron plate.
Lillie's Victorian Establishment
Lillie's Victorian is a huge restaurant in the Theater District with ornate ceilings and stained glass windows. It's a great choice for afternoon tea or brunch before a weekend matinee.
T. Brasserie
Unsurprisingly, the French restaurant at a food hall by Jean-Georges Vongerichten is worth checking out. Come here for a casual date and share some escargots, but skip the burger.
Mel's
If we thought of all the places we’d rather go for pizza before Mel's in Chelsea, it would be a long list.
Bird In Hand
Bird in Hand is a huge spot in Hamilton Heights that works equally well as a restaurant or cocktail bar.
The Buttery Bar
The Buttery Bar is a bar in Greenpoint that serves seasonal bites and unusual wines in an unpretentious setting.
Yakitori Totto
By the time you finish paying your bill, you'll already want to come back to this yakitori restaurant in Midtown.
Llama Inn
In 2021, Llama Inn in Williamsburg has loosened up into a laid-back Peruvian spot we’d visit on a random Tuesday night.
Sushi Katsuei
This is the second location of the Park Slope spot where you can get some excellent, relatively affordable sushi.
Banchan by Sunny
Banchan by Sunny is a pop-up at People's Wine on the Lower East Side serving a large variety of banchan and other Korean dishes.
El Quijote
El Quijote originally opened in 1930 in the bottom of Hotel Chelsea, and the Spanish food here is all better than what’s typically found at NYC’s legendary landmarks.
Evelina
Evelina is a Mediterranean spot that feels cooler than most of the other neighborhood restaurants in Fort Greene.
Lore
Lore is a Park Slope restaurant where you can get everything from a dosa to buckwheat spaetzle. The menu is all over the place, but it works.
