Waldorf Astoria
Cocktail Terrace
301 Park Ave. (50th St.) Waldorf Astoria Hotel 2 5 10 10

Comments: This is a very elitist lounge. If you're into watching celebrities, I guess it's for you. The prices are obscene. There are some pretty nice views. The pianist is rather boring. It seems more like an extension of the hotel lobby than a bar. The service is top notch (especially the gorgeous waitress named Patricia). The hotel lobby bathrooms are very well kept by the attendants. (Is nothing private?) - T.K.

Walker's
(Avg. of 3 reviews)
16 N. Moore St. (Varick St.) 9.3 9.0 8.3 7.3

Comments - This is one of the best bars in Manhattan. I should know, as I am a true Manhattanite. Brunch is to die for and New Years Eve they always have a great band and no cover. -A.Q.

Simplicity and character make this a great place. Relaxed and friendly. Great Pub grub. The proximity of John Jr. and Caroline's former apt. (next door) can't be lost on any Irish Catholic Democrat. - S.G.

This small, old TriBeCa establishment is a classic. The setup and decor resembles a western saloon. The fun, lively clientele is as varied as New York. It seems that small groups sit at the dining/cocktail tables. Well-lit, it features a TV, a high ceiling with fans, no music, and an after-work buffet. The prices are reasonable. The butcher smock clad bartenders are friendly and efficient. The bathrooms are a little lacking. - T.K.

The Wall
(Avg. of 2 reviews)
54-20 Roosevelt Ave. (55th St.), Woodside 5.0 4.0 6.0 3.5

Comments - The Wall presents itself heavily on the fact that it is a music showcase for established and newcomer bands. This is probably the only good thing going on at this place. The crowd is not an attractive one. The mood is rowdy and potentially dangerous. There really is no decor to speak of. The female bartenders are cute. The bathroom is second worse in Queens, in my humble opinion, to that of The Station Cafe. I'd say the place needs work but I am confident that it will never happen. The Wall is only the most recent of a slew of dives in this location including Rebels and Scallywags. It has lasted longer than both combined so far. Days are empty here and week nights without entertainment are equally miserable. I'd like to say nicer things but I can only report what I see and the picture is pretty bleak. - T.S.

This is a small, dark, smoky, dingy bar. There is live music most weekend nights. It usually is not too crowded. It draws an assortment of neighborhood regulars. It features a TV, a dartboard, a pool table, and a jukebox. The bartenders are friendly and efficient. The prices are reasonable. The bathrooms leave something to be desired. - T.K.

Wanda's Full Moon Saloon
(Avg. of 5 reviews)
700 Second Ave. (38th St.) 7.4 6.8 7.0 6.6

Comments - The old Suspenders still has firefighting decor on the walls and still seems to draw a lot of firemen (current and retired) as patrons. Well lit, this small place in a part of town that doesn't have many bars features several TVs, a jukebox with old tunes played low, video games, high-top bar tables, dining/cocktail tables, brick and wooden walls, and a decent pub menu. The bartenders are friendly and efficient.  - T.K.

Love the $1 draft happy hour special. The homebrew is awesome. Not pretentious, just go have a drink with a good friend. - S.Y.

Neighborhood bar of the damned: You want to like Wanda's Full Moon, especially with its $1 Happy Hour short drafts. But the Full Moon simply cannot be loved...or even endured. It is run by several super-sized babes from an indeterminate outer borough -- all of whom treat you with contempt and rudeness unless you happen to hail from the same block in the same borough. Drinks not even close to what you ordered are slopped in front of you, whisked away whenever you visit the rest room, and conversation with the babes is strictly discouraged. When we tried to share a joke with one of these Rubenesque ladies (the "blonde" nighttime babe), she stopped us mid-sentence and asked, "Why are you telling me this?" Several of the regulars have that possessed, I-just-murdered-my-mother-and-put-her-severed-head-in-a-pickle-jar look, although this look is understandable after just one visit to Wanda's Full Moon. Truly a suicide-inducing experience. - P.H.

I have recently visited this bar and when I saw [the comments] on this website regarding the attitudes of the bartenders, I was surprised. My friends and I were easily able to get on their good sides by making small talk about different things. These women are very nice ladies. - M.W.

Clean. Hot ass bartenders with nice teeth. I love this place. - U.F.

The bar was very small and even a decent crow makes it feel a little to close for comfort. The staff was nice and the bartender with the big teeth was hot. The food was good for bar food. It would be considered ok for a place to stop by and grab a quick drink and a bite to eat. - J.S.

Waterfront Ale House
(Avg. of 3 reviews)
540 Second Ave. (30th St.) 9.7 7.0 8.3 6.3

Comments - A fine New York pub, with better than average pub grub and a nice selection of beers, single malt scotches and some other things. Wonderful, warm and friendly atmosphere. Get your own popcorn, as much as you want. Combine all that with reasonable prices and you have one of NY's finest pubs. Don't forget the original branch on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn either. - G.T.L.

The Waterfront is such a nice, cozy neighborhood pub. Great for after movies at Kips Bay or to watch the game with one of 30 tap beers. Great selection of wines too and a menu that offers more than standard "pub" fare although the cheeseburgers rock! And the staff is friendly and cool, especially Gus who bartends on Tuesday nights. Always a good crowd there - Check it out! - E.S.

Waterloo Tavern
(Avg. of 6 reviews)
1629 Second Ave. (between 84th & 85th St.) 6.1 6.0 6.7 6.0

Comments - Good for a relaxing drink after work, or great for that hanging out with old friends. - S.P.

Lame bridge & tunnel scene trying to play the same old Upper East Side music. I saw two fights, the bathrooms were disgusting, and it was filled with a bunch of losers. Safe to say, I won't be back. - S.P.

Yuppie crowd all the way. Every guy looks the same, wearing slacks and their Brooks Brothers shirts. I walked in to the bar with jeans, and people stared at me as though I had my pecker pulled out. Nice staff though. - M.K.

Good place for a few drinks, or to get all bombed up on a weekend night. Nice staff, although the Sunday bartender thinks he's the second coming. Stake out a spot close to The Body on Saturday nights. Keep up the good work boys, see you at the Drift in a few months. - J.L.

Great location and hot chicks. Although I'm not a fan of some of the dudes that seem to hangout there. If you are looking to have few cold ones and talk about old times this is the place. Bar food is good too, especially the nachos. The bathroom was clean while I was there by the way. But I stand when I pee! - A.J.

Always a good time there. Service and food is good. Good selection of beers and cocktails- and the bartender their that they call "Piscadule" mixes up a mean cosmo. - N.C.

Water Street Bar 66 Water Street, DUMBO, Brooklyn 8.5 9.0 7.5 8.0

Comments - Very cool place in DUMBO (1st stop in Brooklyn). Like the decor with brick walls and ironwork. They have a huge dance/party space downstairs and serve great food upstairs. We went to see the Comedy Night last Wednesday and are going back again this week. - K.C. 

Very interesting well rounded bar. Located in Brooklyn between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Excellent use of space for there is plenty of room at the bar along with tables, cozy spots and a separate dance floor. Serves a great assortment of beers and spirits. It's food selections in selection are closer to finer restaurants then typical bar food. What's best here is that you can chose between regular pub grub or a finer meal. Service was friendly and efficient. Well worth the trip. - B.C.

Webster Hall
(Avg. of 9 reviews)
125 E. 11th St. (between 3rd & 4th Ave.) 6.8 6.4 5.3 5.3

Comments - Huge dance club with 4 levels, four types of music. Main floor has a large dance floor, downstairs goes retro, while with the two upstairs rooms, the higher you go, the freakier they get. We’re talking freak show, with transvestites, transsexuals, people on stilts, midgets. Anything goes. Madonna held her slumber party here a few years back. A great party space. Doors open at 10, but expect to wait on line and pay a cover, unless, of course, you know somebody. - S.M.

Stupid. Full of freaks, and pretentious a**holes. - T.H.

Do anything, not too pricey drinks. - K.D.

The place was great but nothing out of this world that I would try again if I am in NY for the weekend. - C.C.

I love this bar. there is a great crowd, with a lot of freaks, my kind of people. B.T.

Fun club. Reminds me a bit of the Limelight. A bit of a young crowd with plenty of very pretty Chiquita. Prices are 'ok'. The bathroom is a bit of a haul down to the first floor. - F.M.

It has something for everyone, I guess. Pretty crabby staff. The guys in tights in the jungle room threw me. You can see just about anything there...a must see (at least once!) - H.S.

This is a dance club full of tourists and male regulars looking to score with a chick who will only be in town for a week or two. Drink prices will leave you broke if your trying to get drunk before dancing. Get yourself a 40 ounce outside. - A.B.

I just HAD to interject..."not too pricey"?!?!?! Are you KIDDING me? It cost me NINE DOLLARS for a stinkin' Corona! I was with 3 other above average-looking females, and all we had to flirt with were a bunch of loser yuppies and dirty looking gangster wannabes. Ladies' night used to awesome a few years ago, but I've been to Webster Hall about 10 times in the last 2 years (glutton for punishment?) and I'm always disappointed. - E.C.

Welcome to the Johnson's
(Avg. of 4 reviews)
123 Rivington St. (bet Norfolk & Essex St.) 7.5 7.8 7.8 7.0

Comments - This place is decked out like your eccentric grandmother's living room, complete with family portraits, bowling trophies, and plastic covered furniture. Add to this a slamming jukebox, a Ms. Pac-Man table, and generous portions on the mixed drinks, and the result is nothing short of Dionysian perfection. At last, you can know what it feels like to get hammered over at grandma's house. - M.B.

Welcome to that 70's bar! W.t.t.J. is decorated like the Johnson's house, circa 1975. Vinyl covered couches, wood paneling, a living room complete with family portraits and a trophy case. Even the TV and refrigerator are vintage 70's. One of the coolest places on the lower east side, with a friendly bar staff. - S.M.

The Johnson's remind me of when I was a teenager and used to go to a party with a case a beer and no need to sleep at night. The decor is reminiscent of a 60's basement that has been finished off as a rec room. Bartenders are alert, friendly and mix a good drink. - J.G.

I have no idea why everyone raves about this place. The decor is fine, but you can't ever see it because it is usually way too crowded. Drinks are the same as anywhere. Prices are the same as anywhere. I like vintage furniture and trim, but that does not save this place as being nothing but mediocre. - M.W.

The West Bank Cafe
(Avg. of 3 reviews)
407 West 42nd St. (9th Ave.) 6.7 6.3 6.7 8.3

Comments: A great bar, but a little pricey. - G.F.

It's a bar/restaurant in Hell's Kitchen that is rather expensive for drinks. The atmosphere is much more like a fancy restaurant than a bar. It draws a combination of tourists and theatergoers. Getting served at the bar is a challenge. The bathrooms are good (it's a nice restaurant). - T.K.

A very comfortable afternoon bar if you need to go over some work; no pressure on nursing a drink and a nice eclectic clientele when the bar starts to fill. A nice mix of erudite tourists and locals. A little pricey but, hey, they gotta pay the rent which is probably going up since 42nd's re-birth. - J.R.

The West End
(Avg. of 11 reviews)
2911 Broadway (between 113th & 114th St.) 7.8 6.7 6.0 5.8

Comments - Great bar if you're a Columbia student. If not, well, then it's not so great. Good drinks nice bartenders, and they have a gong hanging from the ceiling. - A.N.

Fun with your own crowd, but the place does not believe in buy backs or rewarding large groups who run up a substantial food & drink tab. Bartenders are a little slow out of the gate and could definitely use a lesson on customer relations, i.e., service with a smile. - S.F.

Great place to meet after softball. Too bad the management is unable to keep the regular customers happy. - J.G.

Spacious bar and cafe that has been serving Columbia University students and neighbors for decades. Great special on pitchers and wings. Unfortunately, it has become notorious for warm beer, and the management seems indifferent to customers' complaints about it. Clueless bartenders, too. - S.M.

The place has gotten much busier since the summer. They have music almost every night, karaoke or DJs. A lot of different drink specials. the beer seemed cold to me. - J.S.

The bartender that works karaoke night (Wednesday, I think) is stunningly hot. Be friendly to him and he'll be friendly back, and that does include buy-backs. I spent many more hours there than I intended to because he was so charming. The gong is a little annoying, and the huge screen TV would be cooler if they put the sound on for big games. I thought the food was good and the drinks were well-made. Karaoke is super annoying and a big buzz-kill. - S.D.

I love the place. Great prices, friendly, good food. You can go in there alone and sit at the bar, have a conversation and not feel like you are getting hit on. So they don't buyback a lot. At happy hour you can buy a beer for $1.50. At those prices who cares??? - K.G.

I came in for the week from Colorado and had a great time at this bar. Lots of Columbia students, but this was a good thing. The party was a lot of fun, great looking girls, and the bartenders rocked.  Oh yeah, it was the only bar we went to with two levels, definitely check out the lower level. - C.B.

I go to the West End all the time now. There's a great locals scene that feels like a family but every week I meet new girls from all over New York. Upstairs it's exciting and friendly, but the downstairs is very chill. You can't beat drink specials every day of the week. D.K.

The manager Jon was hot. Everything else sucked. No way those kids were of age. And the bartender up front was really rude. - E.C.

This Bar is fun if your not a Columbia student, because the girls are tired of kids with no personality. When the rough neck boys from the Bronx come down the girls go wild and the they get passed around like their going out of style. - B.C.

Comments: Good all around fun place - P.R.

Yet another NYC microbrewery goes by the wayside. As the microbrewery fad wanes, the West Side Brewery pulled out their tanks and no longer brews their own beer. It gets a good lively crowd, but unfortunately, although the scene is hot, the place is not. - S.M.

This [former] brewpub features a dining room in the rear with a fireplace, outdoor seating in warm weather, and several TV sets (one large screen). It seems to draw a good "yupper" West Side clientele. The prices are reasonable and the service is good. The bathrooms are decent. - T.K.

Comments - Friendly staff, great knowledge of NY. Would recommend to any tourist. - P.G.

Beautiful place, that is beautifully decorated, with stuck up ridiculously rich people. I walked up to the door with four friends, and they made me wait outside while not only was there a lot of room inside, but the people were ugly. We walked in and they were like, "who do these guys think they are".  Anyway, the liquor was top shelf, and the female bartender has a large top shelf as well. Do rich people think that blazers with t-shirts underneath are stylish??? Women were friendly, which was our only bonus, but all in all, I would only go back with a female on my arm.- J.B.

Bar located in the W hotel. Prices are very high. Waitresses are simply put, gorgeous, wearing slinky black dresses, although some are surgically enhanced. Several couches and it has more of a lounge feel than a bar. There is music in the background. Bathrooms are top notch, probably one of the best in the city, if that means anything. - A.S.

Wheeltapper Pub 141 E. 44th St. (between Lexington & Third Ave.) 7 7 8 6

Comments - Because it is located off the lobby of the Fitzpatrick Grand Central Hotel, it draws mostly Irish tourists. It is one of the better bars that is located in the interior of a Manhattan hotel. There is an extra lounge area in the lobby just outside the bar and a small 'beer garden' outside. A little expensive. The bathroom just outside the bar is 'one at a time'. There are additional bathrooms on the second floor of the hotel. –T.K.

541 Lexington Ave. (between 50th & 51st St.) 5.2 6.3 4.4 6.8

Comments - A great place to rub elbows with "high producing" stock brokers (or whatever they're called now) and their sycophants. Drinks are ludicrously overpriced (what do you expect at a hotel), and the bathrooms are designed for sniffing white powder. Go once just for the experience. - J.S.L.

Outrageously overpriced. Snobby. Got kicked out with some friends because our khakis and button down shirts weren't nice enough and the Counting Crows were there sitting by the window. We planted our butt-cheeks against the window, and got chased by the bouncers. - G.

Located in the W Hotel, a very elitist type of place. Obscene prices. Bathrooms are good but located outside the bar on the second floor of the hotel. Anyone I've spoken to about the place tells me they will never return. I agree. I don't know who these people are, but they always pack the place. - T.H.

For the movers and shakers, this is the bar for you. Sit on a bed, while sipping on a Bombay. Hot waitresses. - E.C.

Where New York's most pretentious go to drink!!! Go once to tell your friends that you were there rubbing elbows with people who think that they are cooler that cool and then go to a "real" bar and have fun. - F.15

It's expensive but that's what you expect. Good looking, money hungry women there. I was very disappointed in the service so I messed up the bathroom stall. - P.E.

Waitresses are eye-candy only, as they serve your drinks with nary a smile, and have little sense of humor. Wanna find a girl? Better wear a suit from the top floor of Barney's - the women in this place are on the prowl, and intelligent conversation has it's own shelf in the coat check. Past it's prime, and drink prices are ludicrous, so bring two wallets. Best now for "Been there, done that". Find a bar that wants your business, instead of your resume, and drink there. - J.S.A.

Everybody rated this place as a snobby place to drink and said the prices were high. I disagree. It was $ 9 for one of the best Manhattan I've had. It was made with top shelf bourbon and had about 4-5 oz. in the glass. Go to a club and it is a dollar less for a lot less bourbon. Sure some of the people in their suits and attitudes were funny to watch, but I saw several T-shirt and jeans tourists, a wedding party having a great time, and normal folks too. A good place to go for a cocktail with a date. - J.S.

 This place can't be missed! Awesome bartenders, Very cool atmosphere without any attitude. Check out the Jukebox and they have a pool table. - S.T.

Great, spacious new bar on the Lower East Side.  It's got a very friendly staff and a pool table.  You could easily get sucked in and spend your whole night having a great time here. - J.M.

Hot bartenders!!! - S.F.

A very friendly place, awesome workers there. They are very easily approached ..good choices of whiskey and beers. - K.S.

This place is what real New York is all about. Great people and a beautiful atmosphere. The prices don't kill you either. I always have a great time there! – M.P.

Mellow. Relaxing. Attitudes and emotional baggage checked at the door. DJ on Thursday that had the taste and tact to ride along with the crowd's communal good mood, not drag you into his "cool world of musical knowledge" or force feed his unresolved teen angst/"dad was mean to me" projectionism of auditory assault. Fine selection of beers on tap, and single malts displayed with due reverence. Simple, tasteful interior lets the crowd be the attraction, a seemingly rarer find these days of eye-candy and novelty. Women relaxed, guys nonchalant about beer vs. shoe mishaps. Female barkeeps are quick, but not so rushed that you feel like an interruption. Plenty of smiles from the well, and they remember what you drink even when seated at the tables against the opposite wall. Will this bar be around for a while? A definite contender to be the first bar I have a beer at after I cash my first S.S. check 35 years from now. - J.S.A.

White Horse Tavern

567 Hudson St. (at 11th St.) 7.4 6.0 6.3 6.4

Comments - One of the classic old time NY taverns, The White Horse has been serving the West Village since 1880. This is where poet Dylan Thomas reportedly drank himself to death in 1953. His picture still haunts the place. Great atmosphere, especially since adding air conditioning. Always a friendly crowd at the bar, with tables out-doors in warm weather. Great draft beers are a specialty, and a free bar buffet during happy hour. The clock always runs fast there, so don’t pay attention to it. Good juke box. - S.M.

"Service blows..." - T.H.

A classic, old-fashioned New York bar, that also happens to be in a great neighborhood. - J.E.

"Now it's filled with generation x, y and z college and professional losers. The food is disgusting (how can you ruin french fries?). You can get a pint of beer and not much else."

The White Horse has never let me down. Since going there once, I have never come back to town without going back. Period. - B.F.

I live in the neighborhood and go there often. I don't care what anybody says, they have the best hamburger and fries anywhere, and at $5 bucks, it's a steal! - A.Q.

Who's on First?

Comments - Good plain old fun.  You can dance or just hang out and enjoy a drink. – D.R.

It's a place where you feel comfortable but can always have fun. - A.F.

Always a party going on at "Who's on First?" Great Ladies Night on Thursdays. Whether you're into pounding shots down or trying the famous "FISHBOWLS", Who's NYC never disappoints if you're looking to party. Great DJ's also. - C.182.

Let me tell you what a crazy night: The bartender is f---in' nutz. Everyone was wasted, there where hot chicks everywhere. The prices where reasonable and we did get plenty of hook ups. The place is worth checking out, even if its just to see what type of freaky sh*t will happen next. - T.P.F.

I checked out this joint for one week so I could help my fellow drunks and dysfunctionals, and in my saga I found this place to be quite a rare find. Wednesday night they run a bartending school which they offer through authentic bar school. They have 2 for 1s till 11pm, hot chicks fumbling around the bar getting crazy with these two wild muscle guys behind the bar. Ended up hung-over that night. Thurs, Fri, Sat was a blur. There where girls on the bar ,behind the bar, making out with each other and a raw sexual vibe throughout the 2 floor club/bar/lounge. The crazy MC dude called out free funnels on the bar and wild blowjob shots for the girls, specials all night. The place has DJs 4 nights a week, with pool darts and a millions TVs for all your viewing needs. This spot is a tasty mix of what is contemporary in the city as far as real New Yorkers partying. A must see: Whose at WHO 'S ON FIRST? - B.J.

This place is the best! Blow job shots for the ladies and funnels too! The bartenders are the best! Friday night is the best night! It is called Fireman Fridays because Tommy the bartender is an FDNY Fireman. He is also the hottest bartender in the city. Tommy and the rest of the bartenders rock this place. They are a ton of fun! This place is the sh*t! - L.M.

By far the worst bar I've ever been to. - B.Y.

I went to this bar last night (7/25/03) and it was pretty much empty. The music was classic 80's which is ok but there wasn't anyone there so the atmosphere was pretty dry. We were also upset because the $2 well drink price that is advertised on the website wasn't available anymore (actually it was three bucks and not that bad, but still...). The bathroom is in the dungeon downstairs and you can actually see the alley (sort of scary). The worst was the fact that there was no dancing allowed! The no dancing signs were everywhere due to the fact that this place has no cabaret license. Overall..... I hated it. - B.D.

Comments - Great bar & restaurant & lounge in a part of midtown that needed it. Nicely decorated room with a long, curved bar on the left and tables on the right. A popular after work spot, especially on Thursday and Fridays when a DJ plays popular tunes for midtown office-workers. The very friendly staff are eager to please. Also a great spot for a classy yet affordable lunch. - S.M.

I wanted you to know that I stopped by a place called Windfall in Manhattan last Thursday night and thought the place was great.  They had a great DJ and great bartenders.  Just thought you should know. - J.R.

Trendy little bar in midtown.  Staff was friendly and the music was good.  Drinks a tad pricey and the bathrooms could use some work. - A.S.

Thursday night after work was great at Windfall.  The music that the DJ played was the best!  It definitely is a gem. -J.P.

This is the younger, but larger sibling of TG Whitney's. Very popular (crowded) on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, it draws a clientele of local office workers and commuters (It is located in walking distance of the PA Bus Terminal, Grand Central, and Penn Stations). It features a good food menu, several TVs, good music, high-top bar tables, lounge seating with coffee tables, a high ceiling, and miscellaneous decor. The drink prices are somewhat expensive. The service is friendly and efficient. The bathrooms, located in the basement, are more than adequate. -T.K.

Wow!  My friends and I hit this place last Thursday night...it was great.  The service was good and the place was nice, with plenty of single girls.  The DJ (I think his name is Louie) works at WPLJ radio and is great.  Check it out!!! -J.P

Hey, Windfall is a great bar. The atmosphere is excellent. I would recommend this bar to anyone. - T.H.

Forget about this place. J.B.

Comments - Surreal. Smack down, er, DAB in the middle of Times Square. Haven't watched wrestling since the Snuka Era. Walked in elegantly wasted (Jimmy's Corner!), watched skinny guys walking like bodybuilders, women get smashed through tables by hulking dudes on the tube, a 9 year old kid dance vulgarly on the bar during a Run-DMC/WWE video. Hundreds of TV's alternating between large orange men beating other large orange men, and graphics swooshing around during the breaks. And the people were INTO IT! OH YES! Vince McMahon is the genius of our time. Hundreds of years from now, he'll be regarded as we do Shakespeare. The place made me feel insane and nauseous. FIVE PEOPLE'S ELBOWS! - S.G.

Tasteless defines this entire place. The food is tasteless garbage; the people are mostly trailer-park trash; and the service is nonexistent. Save your money and your minds. - L.W.


Two Words: Tourist Trap. The best part of visiting WWE is getting drunk and stealing turnbuckles from the gift shop. Bartenders are obviously recruits from Acme Bartending School. Forget about a buyback. - K.C.
