New York Bars - Night Clubs

Whoever decided that nightlife had to be confined to the darker hours of the day wasn't using their imagination. "Nightlife" in New York City is as much a state of mind as anything, and there are bars and restaurants open somewhere at all hours of the day. Want a beer with your morning bagel? You can do that here. Need a steak and a scotch at 10am? That can be arranged as well. Feeling the need to burn off some energy on the dance floor at 6am on a Saturday morning? No problem. No matter what your nightlife style is – laid-back neighborhood watering hole, swanky lounge, high octane dance club, old-fashioned Irish pub, posh pool hall, dive-y music club, sophisticated piano bar – New York's sheer variety is astounding. Add in all the Broadway and off-Broadway shows, art gallery receptions, free public concerts, and impromptu sidewalk entertainers, and you have a full 24-7 schedule of goings-on.

Nighttime revelers can find comfort on Alphabet Lounge’s cozy banquet seating, a trendy juxtaposition against its raw and vibrant space and artwork. Banquets line the walls of the lower level, hosting good times for groups who want some no nonsense fun. Nestled in its inviting window alcove are strategically positioned banquets that are ideal for a weekend birthday of 15-20, a weekday rendezvous or just good old fashioned people watching. Alphabet Lounge is a lounge without pretension, red rope or any of the frustrations that accompany New York City Nightlife. Groups can enjoy table space and seating without hassle or stress while grooving to old school classics and 80s favorites.

B.B. King Blues Club, a full service venue in the heart of Midtown, seats as many as 550 guests or accommodates up to 1,000 for cocktail receptions. Classical in form and spirit, the Music Room is an 11,000 square foot theatre with two tiered, horseshoe-shaped seating centered on a 30-foot stage, making even the largest event seem intimate. State of the art production and A/V, including a 30 foot stage and two 8-foot video screens on either side of it, further enhance your guests' experience. See your event’s name in lights on our 42nd Street marquee!

Back when you could light up anywhere, this bar had a more limited appeal. While some adored collapsing into squishy velvet chairs on wheels and poring over the tall glass display case of nifty smoking accessories, others found it less appealing. Now this cigarette lounge cozies up to its customers with a nod to two bygone eras: The jazzy indulgence of the 1920s and the days when NYC smokers ran free. Small, pricey appetizers show effort, but they're just part of the menu. Desserts and coffees alongside roughly 10 types of cigars and more than 100 kinds of cigarettes lay the landscape for a long and swanky night.

The back room, hidden behind the curtain, is a breath-taking New York lounge. Oriental rugs, Moroccan lanterns & remnants of the building's original 1880's windows set the tone. The music: DJ selections from the greatest artists of the world. Antique couches, a full-on throne & other plush nooks fill the space, forming a variety of cozy conversation pits. Our downstairs sister club "The Underground" is a sexy, sophisticated and upscale spot. Designed by ICRAVE (of Pangaea fame) this 2,800 square foot venue incorporates a loungy atmosphere with high energy dancing. Rumor offers its customers excellent bottle or cocktail service. This beautiful hot spot is perfect for special events, corporate functions, drinks with friends or any occasion.

Welcome to Flûte, New York's premier Champagne lounge and bar, with two locations in Manhattan and a new location in Paris, France, which opened in January 2008. Flûte provides an intimate and artfully designed setting where guests enjoy an extensive list of Champagnes and sparkling wines as well as a full bar, inventive sparkling cocktails and delicious sweet and savory nibbles. Couples love our infamous curtained nooks while groups make themselves comfortable in our plush lounge or spread out at the bar.

Forum is located conveniently one block from Union Square, Forum provides a 3500 square foot space that is perfect for any event.

Two neon signs read "Jazz" in red and "Barbecue" in blue. Take the low road to Jazz Standard, a dimly lit basement club hopping with pony-tailed jazz aficionados, smiling businessmen and a smattering of young and lovely black-clad waitstaffers. With a raised bar space in the back, and rows of tables lined up tightly right up to the stage, there's not a bad seat in the house. The pairing of barbecue spot Blue Smoke with the Jazz Standard is a no-fail combo. Like the barbecue--at once gourmet cuisine and down-home cooking--the straight-ahead jazz is carefully selected to appeal to the serious jazz fan, yet it's accessible enough for novice

Grabbing a drink with co-workers in midtown usually means sipping a Bud in a humdrum Irish pub, but Stitch is here to change that. A lively alt-rock soundtrack--think U2 and Franz Ferdinand--heals the working-day blues in the main space.   Sports fans enjoy the flat-screened TVs, but the gigantic monitors don't overpower the warehouse-like space. Deep-burgundy walls, a dark-wood bar, tall mirrors and copious candlelight add a little after-hours glamour to this office-laden part of town.

Considered one of the most desirable event locations in New York, The Carnegie Club is a magnificent space that's both grand (25-foot ceilings with a mezzanine) and intimage. It provides a uniquely Gothic backdrop with hand-carved 18th century bookcases filled with a wide assortment of leather-bound titles and a stone fireplace - all of which is offset by plush, contemporary furnishings. Offering an elegant and stylish atmosphere, The Carnegie Club provides an upscale backdrop for virtually all types of events. Conveniently located behind Carnegie Hall, directly next to City Center, and a short walk to the Theatre District; this space can accomodate up to 175 guests for a cocktail reception and 75 guests for a seated dinner.

Touch has its perks--like an extra-large dance floor, weekly special DJ sets and band performances, and small aesthetic details like color-changing walls and a Sensacell bar that illuminates when a glass or hand touches the surface. Banquettes upstairs allow for a more distant view of the action downstairs. But thanks to high-end bottle service and go-go dancers, it's anything but dull. Unlike other clubs with more limited space to dance, Touch's expansive dance floor allows revelers to get down and dirty with plenty of room to breathe. Classy and decadent, Touch is unrivaled in the New York scene. Uniquely designed, the venue boasts over 15,000 square feet of dance space and chic lounges.
