50 Best Cocktail Bars near Lyndhurst

“A friend and I picked this bar off a Google search. What a FIND!! Small but modern bar space. LINDA was extremely friendly and professional behind the bar. she made our initial visit a 10 plus! The Italian restaurant next door offered a great menu and delicious food. Will be a constant when heading out for drinks and dinner.“

“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

“วันนี้ไปทานพนักงานบริการดีน่ารัก อาหารอร่อยมากคุ้มค่าให้เยอะจริง“

“Finally able to visit and so happy I did. My drink, Dutch Revival, is my new favorite cocktail. The winter flatbread was delicious. Loved the vibe and hospitality.“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“Nice cocktails & stunning View!!!“

“Japanese Italian fusion? Something I obviously had to try!
I appreciate Kimika’s creative menu with plenty of vegetarian options. Our waitress Kara/Cara was so friendly and helpful. I started with a Spritz that I think could’ve used some more bubbles, but the flavors were on point. The food was good but I felt like there could’ve been a bit more flavor. We tried the Truffle Carbonara, Soy Butter Bigoli, and Eggplant Katsu - I think the Bigoli was my favorite (think elevated lo mien). For dessert, we tried the lava cake, matcha French toast (would get it with ice cream if I were to over come again) and the Nutella Bombolocini (very creative - think mochi stuffed with Nutella).
Overall, I loved the concept of Kimika and the service, but I think there could’ve been just a tad more flavor in some of our dishes. Definitely a place to try once!“

“Sunken Harbor Club is the ultimate Tiki Bar, possibly even better than Trader Sam's and Smuggler's Cove. The immersive decor is impressively detailed, and Garrett Richard's drinks are an art form. My Zombie cocktail was complex and elevated while still familiar. Make a reservation and don't hesitate to visit!“

“I really love parlour room. The bar is so cool. When you walk in it has a cool vibe like old New York. I like the bottle display and they have a shaker machine that super shakes the cocktails. So fun: the bartender said it’s the only one in nyc. I love the cocktails and i definitely come here when we see a show or after dinner drinks, but the food here is good too! Then we pop over to bo peep the speak easy next door“

“This is one of the coolest bars in the city, and I think it's actually more locals than tourists. It's such an interesting mix of people, I love it, and it has a great high energy, so you know it attracts fun people! The bar itself is so beautiful and they have a highly curated cocktail program.

The dj is always playing such fun music, such a cool spot, especially if you live off of the 1 train, because this place is in the 50th Street downtown 1 station. So sick!“

“I went for coffee. This place is a sleeper. Kabin should rank with the top high quality specialty coffee spots in New York, with high level, knowledgeable baristas who pay attention to small details, amazing hand brews, good patties, and an elegant ambience.“

“Had a fantastic experience at Haswell Green’s. Fun drinks, great service …will absolutely be back for happy hour!“

“Fantastisk plass, og utrolig gode drinker! Anbefales!“

“Ethan is an exceptional bartender! He crafted a stunning Nolitarita with tequila, mezcal, and his own spicy hibiscus blend — perfectly balanced and unforgettable. The bar itself is beautiful, making it the ideal spot for a sophisticated night out“

“Great drink and great vibe“

“Amazing unique cocktails. Highly recommended.“

“An unforgettable experience at Rosevale Kitchen + Cocktails!
From the moment my friend and I arrived, we were greeted with a warm smile by the maître d’, setting the tone for a truly special evening. The ambience is vibrant yet calm, with a stylish outdoor patio that adds a refreshing touch of open air and relaxation.
Sofia, our server, was absolutely phenomenal—polite, well-mannered, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful. She helped me choose the perfect drink, even bringing a wine sample that turned out to be a hit. Her descriptions were spot-on and made the decision effortless.
The food was outstanding. My friend’s Pre-Fix dinner was beautifully presented—her shrimp dish looked like a work of art, and the lime pie was perfectly balanced with just the right touch of sweetness and acidity. Sofia’s explanation of the chicken’s subtle sweetness was accurate and made the dish even more enjoyable.
Now, about the burger—I've had burgers all over, but this one was next-level. Cooked well-done (just how I like it), yet still moist and packed with flavor. The layers of pickled onions, Gruyère cheese, and sauce were absolute perfection.
Sofia’s attentiveness and charisma added a magical touch to our evening before heading to a Broadway show. Her professionalism and enthusiasm made our experience truly memorable. I can't wait to return with friends and family—and I hope Sofia is there to share her incredible hospitality with them too!“

“Drinks and apps were wonderful before the show at beacon. We felt like we were in Europe. Fantastic! We will be back!“

“Always love coming to NYC and having a cocktail (or two or three) at The Up & Up!“

“Easily the best Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn. Beautiful space, great food (get the whole steamed fish) and excellent service—friendly, helpful and relaxed. The place is busy but we never felt rushed. And for the quality and quantity of food it’s a great value. Will definitely be back.“

“This was the most delicious Georgian food I’ve had since I was in Georgia. Our server, Marite, was a delight. She made wonderful wine recommendations. We will definitely eat here again.“

“Awesome atmosphere. The staff is very informative and has well rounded knowledge of this space. You can tell they are well trained. Only giving 4 star bc I felt a little pushy when it comes to ordering the next drink but overall service is great.“

“Nice atmosphere with very pretty decor & a good vibe. It was super quiet in the afternoon which was perfect for a lunch meeting. The mango lemonade was delicious! I had the Kua Gai as my main for the first time and it was so tasty. Great spot.“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great drinks, tapas & vibe!“

“Absolutely love this place. Been many times. Consistent quality food and service. This is a one of a kind gem in Manhattan“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“We came by for a Sunday afternoon drink and will definitely be back. The staff treated us like family and the drinks were probably some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had.

Seated at the bar, we had a front row seat to see drinks being prepared and the bartender, Michael, was an exceptional host. M

Thanks again for a great experience. 10/10.“

“Insane vibes, insane atmosphere, insane drinks. I came here after overhearing someone say that it beat out Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco, and it’s definitely in the running. The drinks are distinctly tiki but creative enough to bring something new to the table.“

“From start to finish, planning a birthday party for 45 here was straightforward, friendly, and low stress. Dana and her team were professional, but personal and always responsive with a smile. The venue has a lovely, warm, eclectic vibe that requires little extra decoration, which made planning the whole thing even easier. The layout was perfect for the flow of the party. The quality of the food/drinks and service were fabulous (appetizers through dessert) and the servings were plentiful. I used several of the vendors recommended by Dana for balloons, flowers and the DJ. Every one was easy to work with, delivered as promised, and were familiar with the venue, so that I did not have to worry about coordinating anything! My guests and I had a marvelous, memorable, super fun evening (we could have danced the whole night away!); everything went very smoothly. I would throw another party there, no question!“

“This place is AMAZING!!!! Took a trip to NYC and the service, vibes, food and drinks are totally worth going! Surprisingly my favorite drink was the Purple Rain - the combo just works. The Woo Woo shot to finish off the night is delicious and peachy. There is a 90 minute cap on tables but we never felt rushed. There is a cool photo booth to take pics by the exit. I cannot wait to go back. See you at the Woo Woo!!!!“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“We stumbled across the Gem that is The Rum House on our visit to NY 6 years ago… probably the best Old fashioned we have tasted . Great atmosphere , decor and music and on a cold cold night it was fab ❤️“

“Absolutely wonderful without qualification. The interior design stands out. The staff member had a great outlook and ensured our first visit was entirely pleasant. The cooking remains impressive and the service stays professional. The meals were delicious, staff was responsive, and our time there was pleasant.“

“We had our annual holiday dinner with friends on 12/21/25. We were a party of 9. The service was fantastic. Tiernan was our server and he and the team were exceptional. Great cocktails and menu recommendations. Friendly and attentive without being intrusive at all. We will definitely be back.“

“I've been there as a customer and had a lovely time. And I sang a few sets there on Monday. What a ball!! Highly recommend ❤️“

“If it ain’t broke, don’t tell me what time it is. Because I’m probably late for work. Wait, I don’t work and use daddy’s money. Nice drinks“

“Martiny’s is what Sip and Guzzle wishes it was. The atmosphere is intimate and lovely; the staff are very attentive and thoughtful; and the martinis are creative and taste so good. My husband and I came here for drinks after work. Our reservation was only for two hours, and we enjoyed a few speciality martinis and some of their bar snacks. The drinks are good, strong, and very well-made. There’s no pretense here or stuffiness; just well-crafted drinks and great food and service.“

“Great drinks & Excellent atmosphere“

“Had a great time. Bartender with beard on Saturday night really fired it up. Good dude and was on top of his game. Great place.“

“A+++. If you enjoy and understand cocktail culture and the history then this is a must visit for the weary traveler or enthusiast. I always make it a point to visit for over 10+ years. The hospitality and attention to detail in the art or craft has always been consistent. Salute to the staff and employees of this establishment. May they keep the craft alive for many years to come! Please be respectful and patient for the high demand is eminent. 🥃👌🏼“

“Food was delicious! Fresh and unique! Loved it all!“

“One of the best cocktail bars in NYC in term of quality to hassle ratio. The cocktails and vibe are great and you can usually decide to go the day of (no 1+ hour wait or reservation made 2 weeks in advance required). A great go to place in the LES.“

“4.5 really.
Really tasty food, ordered a la carte. Slightly unusual tastes, but they worked well.
Friendly staff. Fun ambience.

Slightly odd wine pairing experience: the staff clearly took a lot of care about testing the wines were ok, but struggled a bit to explain why their recommendations matched the food.“

“Outstanding food, service, atmosphere! Definately a place to have a great night!“

“Pineapple Club is incredible! Thanks to the attention to detail of the Culinary Master and Club Manager Matt Sylvester, everyone in our party of six (2 teenagers included) was left amazed by the speed of delivery of our meals and absolutely floored by the flavorful appetizers and succulent entrees! The Pork Belly and Tuna Tartare were out of this world! My cousin and his family of 5 were coming to Manhattan from San Diego and I wanted them to experience a special New York City restaurant. Unique and good! The Pineapple Club surpassed all our expectations because they know the meaning of hospitality and how to impress!“
