The 18 Best Bars In The East Village

"If you’re not paying attention, it’s entirely possible to end up here instead of HiLot (or vice versa). Doesn’t matter, both places are fun. This bar has banquettes up front and a shiny black, L-shaped bar next to a DJ station playing tunes all day. On Mondays, you can sign up to take over the turntable for half an hour with your own vinyl. It never seems to get too wild here, but if you need an escape, you can walk through the kitchen to get to a surprisingly big backyard." - bryan kim, kenny yang, neha talreja, will hartman
