Si hay un lugar en toda Nueva York en el que se sirvan shots de whiskey y de "pickle-back" (shots de la salmuera en la que se almacenan los pickles), ese sitio tiene que ser Whiskey Tavern. Escondo entre el caos que es Chinatown, el bar es un punto de encuentro agradable para los trabajadores cuando salen de la oficina y la gente en general de la ciudad. El bar se enorgullece de su lista de bebidas, que incluye una selección notable de cervezas, además de sus emblemáticos whiskeys y cócteles. El bar es absolutamente lo que promete; no encontrarán aires de nada, sino solamente un espacio cálido y acogedor en que las bebidas se sirven en cantidades y la diversión nunca se termina. La decoración es bastante simple: una temática de madera y ladrillo, música de fondo, televisores y un jardín. Si no están del todo mareados, ¡prepárense para una noche de "Ultimate Jenga" o de "Connect Four"!

The Tippler is ensconced underneath Chelsea Market in a space that has been out of use for over 100 years.

The cocktail menu is impressive, featuring libations they have borrowed from various other establishments around the country, as well as their own originals and of course, the classics. There is also a good selection of wines and craft beers, as well as light bar dishes like toasts, sandwiches, jars and salads.

This Brooklyn institution that was once a run down old pool shop is now converted into a kitschy neighborhood bar. Blue booths, green tiles and tin walls give this place an old time charm.

DJs spin some crazy tunes while you sip on innovative drinks concocted by the imaginative bartenders. You can also catch live performances and other events here. This place also has a photo booth, so you can click a few pictures and take home some memories. Cheers!
