BATHTUB GIN

Cocktail bar

One of the many speakeasies in New York with a very neat prohibition atmosphere. A copper bathtub stands in the middle of the room, in reference to the method used to make alcohol during Prohibition. The place is luxurious and worth a visit for the cocktails, which come from the imagination of the famous Irish mixologist Sean Muldoon. Don't miss the free burlesque shows on Tuesdays and Sundays at 8.30pm (booking recommended). Every Wednesday, the place also organises jazz concerts from 9pm to 11pm.

THE DEAD RABBIT

Cocktail bar

An Irish pub that looks like an Irish pub , except that the second floor (The Parlor) is home to one of the world's finest cocktail bars... Winner of numerous awards, the place is impressive, at least as impressive as the bartenders in red tuxedos juggling some fifty bottles without the slightest distinctive sign. You can choose one of the inventive cocktails on the menu or opt for the unknown, guided by the master mixologist in charge. A word of advice: ask to be placed in the Parlor.

HARBOR LOUNGE

Cocktail bar

How can you resist the breathtaking view from this bar? With its large jetty on stilts, which serves as a terrace even though there are no tables there, it feels a bit like having your feet in the water... which is not at all unpleasant! Even the interior is worth it: we love its long room, lit by bay windows. The sofas give the establishment a slightly vintage look. And of course, we love its extensive cocktail list and martinis. Good to know: The Harbor Lounge doesn't serve food.

AQUA BAR

Cocktail bar

This is an excellent cocktail bar with a sea view, whose terrace overlooks the water. Some of the high seats face the ocean, and nothing else. You could spend the night there, the atmosphere is so intoxicating - cocktails also help a lot. The menu offers a wide variety of cocktails, from classic mojitos (with coconut, watermelon or pomegranate) to exotic strawberry margaritas, not to mention a wide selection of martinis (try the elderberry martini!). One of P-Town's flagship addresses.

OVERSTORY

Cocktail bar €€

This is the Financial District's hip new cocktail bar, set on the top floor of an Art Deco tower that also houses a gourmet restaurant (Saga). What we like: the surprising 360-degree view from the terrace, and the bar's intimate atmosphere. What we don't like: the price of cocktails and the hefty bill that follows. Reservations are possible, but only if you spend a minimum of US$50 per person. We therefore recommend going without a reservation, preferably at opening time. A great experience.

Mr. Purple

Cocktail bar

On the 15th floor of Hotel Indigo, on a street that doesn't look like much, is one of the classiest rooftops on the Lower East Side. If the cocktails are expensive, as in all the rooftops of the city, the view from the vast terrace and the room equipped with picture windows is breathtaking on all sides. The Empire State Building and the skyscrapers of Midtown put on a show to try and outshine the One World Trade Center and the buildings of the Financial District. From up there, with the city stretching as far as the eye can see, you feel a bit privileged.
