The Water Hazard Bar + Lounge at Chelsea Piers

Finding the entrance can be easy to miss, but once inside, the lounge offers a straightforward escape. The kitchen turns out reasonably priced bar food like tacos, Greek salads, and mozzarella sticks to go with draft beers and signature cocktails. While the window views of the river make it a calm, intimate date spot on quieter days, the energy pivots during Trivia Nights, when a younger crowd fills the space and the music picks up.
