Keybar

This crimson-hued East Village spot is one of the only bars in the city where you can slam a shot of unicum, a 200-year-old bittersweet spirit from Hungary (owner Attila Draviczki’s homeland). Need something a little sweeter? Keybar also offers a selection of signature shooters, like passionfruit and lychee shots made with real fruit and a Rolo shot based on Draviczki’s secret recipe. Come on your birthday, and you’ll get a free round of any shot; come for the happy hour (all day Sunday and Monday or from 4pm to 10pm on all other days), and you’ll enjoy two-for-one drinks. That deal includes the entire bar: beer, signature martinis, well cocktails and anything else you can think of. On any given Saturday night, local DJs will likely be spinning some deep house or techno.
