Home Sweet Home

"When: Mon-Thurs, 6-8:30pm; Fri, 4-8:30pm The Deal: $10 Specialty Cocktails, $5 Mixed Drinks, $5 Draft Beers Home Sweet Home is pretty much a dive bar that happens to have a big dance floor in the back, and it’s where you should go when you want to have a fun night out at a place that isn’t a club. The music’s always good at this subterranean Lower East Side spot, and the Happy Hour runs until 8:30pm on weekdays." - matt tervooren, bryan kim

"Shelby is a good friend, which is why you agreed to go dancing with her despite having plans with your significant other’s parents in eight hours. A fun option on the LES is Home Sweet Home. The dance floor in the basement space has DJs most nights and a disco ball, and the cheap drinks will help if you need a confidence boost." - matt tervooren

"You hit the dance floor with a ton of enthusiasm, and everything seemed great until a string of Backstreet Boys songs left you gasping for breath and needing a break. This is when you’ll be happy you decided to go to Home Sweet Home. The big dance floor at this Lower East Side bar is surrounded by booths, where you can recover with a drink while picking up moves from (or silently judging) everyone still out there." - matt tervooren
