The Topaz

If you are a fan of any of the following bars, you will likely also be a fan of The Topaz: Sisters in Clinton Hill, Ramona in Greenpoint, Donna in Williamsburg, and The Wayland in the East Village. We recently discovered that all of this city’s most attractive bars were designed by the same people, and while possessing that knowledge makes us kind of uncomfortable, it also makes a lot of sense. Go here if your priorities lie in aesthetics - and also try to get here before their excellent daily happy hour (until 8pm) ends.
