Wide Shut Bar

This basement spot offers an unpretentious hangout in Soho. Patrons can draw on the graffiti-covered walls from head to toe, using the space to relax, meet people, or express themselves. The soundtrack steers clear of mainstream pop in favor of killer punk rock playlists, while the bar serves some of the cheapest drinks in the neighborhood, including a shot and a beer for under $10. Run by welcoming staff, it is a relaxed refuge specifically suited for those who want to avoid loud sports crowds and pop jukeboxes.
