Weekend Jazz With a Tavern Counterpoint
Pub drinks come with a wooden counter and wall televisions, while the listening room pairs funk and soul with classic cocktails. Marinated beans and beef tartare add a food option alongside the music.
Hudson and Downing After Dark
A Tavern After Midnight
Barrow's Pub is a traditional drinking spot at 463 Hudson St in Manhattan. A wooden counter anchors the room, with wicker chairs offering another seating option. Televisions hang on the walls. From Monday through Saturday, opening hours run from 11:00 AM until 4:00 AM the following morning. Sunday brings a shorter schedule, starting at 12:00 PM and ending at 2:00 AM the next morning. Drinks fall in the inexpensive price tier.
The Downing Street Listening Room
Weekend jazz, funk, and soul set the program at Birds NYC in the West Village. Live music starts at 7:30 PM. Weeknights bring vinyl sets spanning global grooves. Seating is limited, and arriving early may help secure a spot. Friday and Saturday hours run from 6:00 PM until 2:00 AM the following morning. The menu pairs classic cocktails with dishes such as marinated beans and beef tartare.
Two Moods After Dark
Barrow's Pub and Birds NYC give Manhattan nightlife two distinct settings. The first centers on a traditional pub room, with a wooden counter and wall televisions framing a straightforward place for drinks. The second puts listening at the center, pairing classic cocktails with weekend jazz, funk, and soul or weeknight vinyl sets. Their difference lies in the room's focus, a tavern setting on Hudson Street and a music program on Downing Street, each with its own character.
