Bar Snack

Easygoing on the surface and sharper underneath, Bar Snack has the rare ability to feel like a true neighborhood bar while still giving cocktails real attention. The East Village room is relaxed, playful, and built around the idea of dressed up classics for dressed down people, which gives it a tone that feels social rather than precious. It is worth visiting for that balance of craft and looseness, with enough personality to make it memorable and enough ease to make it somewhere you want to return.
