98 Avenue C

At Accidental Bar, the natural sake list comes with a guide: owner Austin helps guests find pours that suit their taste. The bar also mixes smoked Negronis and yuzu margaritas, with crispy rice and burrata among the small plates. Dim lighting and low music give this Avenue C room an intimate setting for conversation or a private sake session.

HiLot sits next door to Joyface in Alphabet City, in a room styled like a 1970s living room with plaid carpets, fringed lamps, a mirrored ceiling and a winding leather couch. Its small-batch cocktail menu features old Polaroid photos. The Love Pit is a private booth lined with quilted, padded red velvet.

104 Loisaida Ave

Joyface brings a 1970s living room look to its disco-and-drag dance floor, with plush couches, a waterbed and a disco ball. The room can get tight as the crowd builds, and the door is selective, so an early or late arrival may be easier. Bartenders serve inventive cocktails alongside the music and performances.
