Cibar

Socializing at this bar beneath the posh Inn at Irving Place makes even jeans-clad tipplers feel swishy. Everything here is plush: pink walls, sleek black couches and modern chandeliers, not to mention the sharp-looking group of postwork revelers. The specialty here is elegant cocktails, like an elderflower, vodka and lychee martini. DJs spin nightly (except Monday), and there’s a small, smoking-permitted backyard patio outfitted with bamboo and cushioned benches.
