GMT Tavern

"If you want to take shots of Fireball with a bunch of NYU juniors, then the stretch of Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village has a lot of options. But if you just want a place to have a couple beers while you wait for the crowds of stumbling students to get back to their annoyingly nice apartments, head to GMT Tavern. They have a good draft beer list and an extensive whiskey selection, which you can sample in solitude in the dark indoor space, or outside on the patio." - matt tervooren

"It seems like just about every spot between Houston Street and Washington Square Park is someplace you could drop in for a drink - dives, wine bars, NYU housing. And GMT may seem like just another dark bar on Bleecker. But what sets this place apart is its large sidewalk seating area. In the rare instance when all the outdoor tables are taken, grab any of the 30 beers on tap ($5 during Happy Hour) at the bar inside." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
