The 13 Best Hotel Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"During the daytime, the Ace Hotel Lobby is filled with people on laptops. After the workday is over, however, people start drinking, and the whole place might turn into a big group hang with a DJ. There are lots of couches and comfortable chairs, and it tends to be dark, loud, and just the right level of crowded. Sure, you might wind up drinking next to a bunch of Swedish tourists, but that’s just an opportunity to make friends. Bring a date, or your parents, or stop by when you’re looking for a nice bar where you don’t have to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with people and shout (too loud) for your drinks. You’ll find a similar scene at the hotel’s Brooklyn branch as well." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, will hartman, tiffany yannetta
