Everything you love about New York City's best bars can be found at Time Out Market: Terrific cocktails, skyline views and happy hours to end your day and start your evening. Just like our restaurant curation, we've taken great care in building our bars.

The options are unending, the ice is nicer and you aren’t just drinking, you’re at the spot.
Whether you're dabbling in low-ABV libations, making your way through dedicated martini menus or collecting passwords for pseudo speakeasies, there is an ideal location for every taste, tolerance and occasion. Find them among the 50 best bars in NYC right now.
