Best Cocktail Bars of New York City, According to Eater Editors | Eater NY

"Owners Jeremiah Stone and Fabián von Hauske Valtierra, flipped their former tasting menu restaurant Contra into Bar Contra last year, with Dave Arnold, known for experimental Existing Conditions, and Booker and Dax. In addition to expertly crafted cocktails (the Banana Justino is an Arnold classic) find snacks like scallops and stuffed chicken wings. It’s currently a 2025 James Beard semifinalist." - Emma Orlow
