56 University Pl

Wines by the glass from Trentino Alto Adige pair with a short list of plates at this small wine bar at 56 University Pl, including a caprese with fresh burrata and tender octopus with potatoes and peas. A bread service and a dough dumpling special round it out, and staff steer non-drinkers to lemonade. It is open daily from 5 PM to 11 PM.

3 Bleecker St

Wines, craft beers and espresso martinis pour at this gold-lit Bowery bar at 3 Bleecker St, running from 1996, where upstairs seats sit side by side and the music stays low enough to talk. A basement lounge with a DJ opens on some nights. It opens daily at 4 PM and runs to 4 AM Thursday to Saturday.

142 Bleecker St

Draft beers, fish and chips and a Sunday roast come with a nod to London at this Greenwich Village pub at 142 Bleecker St. An outdoor terrace suits a slow afternoon pint, and games play on the screens. It opens at 3 PM Monday to Thursday, noon Friday to Sunday, and runs to 4 AM Friday and Saturday.

28 West 8th Street

Regulars fill this wine bar at 28 West 8th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, where bartenders pour tastings to help pick a glass from a modest, eclectic list. Daily happy hours cover select bottles and glasses, and the cheese board is a strong value. It is open daily from 4 PM to 2 AM.
