Roxy Bar
  • Address2 6th Ave, New York, NY 10013
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

Situated within the Roxy Hotel, the Roxy Bar offers ample comfortable seating in a stunning setting, complete with live jazz performances starting at 1 PM. Its industrial yet modern decor adds to its undeniable charm. With plush couches that beckon you to stay awhile, you may find yourself reluctant to leave after a few drinks.

The menu boasts a wide selection of cocktails, beer, and wine, accompanied by a satisfying food menu featuring seafood, salads, sandwiches, and upscale bar fare like burgers and macaroni and cheese. Given its popularity, particularly on weekends, I recommend making a reservation to avoid waiting for a table at this popular Tribeca bar.

Five & Dime
  • Address8 Park Pl, Tribeca, NY 10007
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

Coffee and cocktails? I volunteer as tribute! Who would’ve guessed that Five & Dime, the cute coffee shop you spent the morning at transforms into a tempting cocktail bar come nightfall? You’re free to order any drink you’d like when visiting, void of judgment. Whether you want caffeine or a buzz you’ll enjoy a flavorsome beverage at one of the best bars in Tribeca.

Beyond the drinks, Five & Dime secures its status among Tribeca’s best bars with its captivating 1920s decor, transporting you to the charm of old New York. Tucked inside the Woolworth Building, the vintage ambiance is both authentic and enchanting.

The Woolworth Building holds iconic status in New York City, having been the world’s tallest building from 1913 to 1920. With ample seating, if you arrive in the morning, you’re welcome to work or study. However, as the day progresses, your coffee can seamlessly transition into alcohol, and at that point, who knows how productive you’ll be!

1803

1803
  • Address82 Reade St, New York, NY 10007
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

1803’s name pays homage to the year of the Louisiana Purchase, a pivotal moment in U.S. history that expanded the nation and opened doors to new possibilities. It’s a fitting name for a venue dedicated to fostering innovation through its culinary creations.

Consistently wowing folks with its Cajun-Creole cuisine, 1803 impresses with its delectable menu, including favorites like honey chili Brussels sprouts, crawfish cakes Benedict, and the remarkable buttermilk brine fried chicken.

The bar offers an array of Louisiana-inspired cocktails, with my personal favorite being the Gator Bait. Crafted with Malibu rum, Absolut, blue curacao, lemon, and pineapple, its vibrant green hue alone earns 1803 a well-deserved place among the best bars in Tribeca.

Belle Reve

Worth it
  • Address305 Church St, New York, NY 10013
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

The stunning interior and vibrant atmosphere at Belle Reve’s create a memorable night, complemented by music that gets the whole crowd in high spirits. A quick scan of the bar reveals plenty of head bobbing and lip-syncing.

Belle Reve stands out as one of the best bars in Tribeca, offering delicious cocktails and classic American fare with modern twists, particularly noteworthy are the nachos, tacos, and birria sliders.

As one of Tribeca’s most popular cocktail bars, Belle Reve can get lively and packed inside. With open mic nights, live music, and occasional burlesque events, entertainment is always on the menu at this Tribeca gem. If it gets overwhelming, simply move to an outdoor seat for people-watching opportunities, and remember, the drinks only stop when you do.

Greenwich Street Tavern

  • Address399 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10013
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

For a great time on a budget, consider dropping by Greenwich Street Tavern (GST), a standout among Tribeca’s top bars. This spot offers a diverse menu of American/Mexican pub food in a lively sports bar setting. What elevates GST as one of the best bars in Tribeca is its incredibly generous happy hour, available Monday through Saturday, with most drinks discounted by $2.

Whether you’re in the mood for a refreshing beer or an upscale glass of sangria, the happy hour deal is too enticing to resist. I always order a glass of white peach sangria and my husband opts for a house beer, and together, we spend less than $20 for a round, a true steal in the Big Apple.

Weather Up
  • Cost$20
  • Address159 Duane St, New York, NY 10013
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

Not all bars in Tribeca were created equal and spots like Weather Up serve as a reminder that craft cocktails are a true art form. This Prohibition-style cocktail lounge is elegant, sleek, and downright tasty. The mixologists here have a talent and the proof is in the pudding drinks.

Originating in Prospect Heights in 2008, the success of the original location paved the way for a second spot just two years later. Today, New Yorkers can savor a meticulously curated drink at one of Tribeca’s top bars. Weather Up stands out for those seeking a quality drink rather than a quick buzz. With drinks averaging around $20 (standard for NYC), it’s an ideal spot to commence your night before your buzz dulls your taste buds and everything begins to blend together.

Tiny’s & The Bar Upstairs

BarTribeca
Worth it
  • Address135 W Broadway, New York, NY 10013
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

Arguably the most adorable bar in Tribeca, Tiny’s is located inside a quaint 1800’s townhouse that’s painted a stark pink. The restaurant is aptly named, considering the place is, well… tiny. The cozy restaurant is warm and inviting, perfect for a first date. Serving a small but diverse menu you can expect items like pan-roasted duck, oysters, and shrimp fried rice.

The drink selection includes a delightful array of cocktails, as well as beer and wine. Among my favorites is Tiny’s truffle martini, a concoction I find myself craving at least once a month. However, what truly sets Tiny’s apart as one of Tribeca’s best bars is its undeniable charm. Sometimes, all one needs is good food, strong drinks, and a romantic ambiance, and Tiny’s effortlessly ticks all these boxes.

  • Address1 Lispenard St, New York, NY 10013
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

In a neighborhood filled with upscale spots, Nancy Whiskey Pub stands out with its simple, old-school charm. It’s the epitome of a neighborhood dive bar where you can relax without the need to impress anyone. Established in 1967, this bar has been a Tribeca favorite for decades, attracting a loyal crowd of locals who have formed connections with the laid-back staff.

Despite its name, Nancy Whiskey Pub’s whiskey selection is average, lacking flights or tastings. However, that shouldn’t deter you from visiting. The bartenders craft potent drinks, and the beer selection, ranging from IPAs to lagers, is available on draft and in cans. As one of Tribeca’s best bars, you’ll have no trouble finding a satisfying drink.

  • Address126 Chambers St, New York, NY 10007
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

Mudville9 stands out as one of the top bars in Tribeca, with the buffalo wings being a major draw. Once you’ve tried the onion rings as a side, you’ll likely be back for more in no time. With an extensive selection of beers on tap and in bottles, as well as a variety of wines, they cater to diverse tastes.

The specialty cocktails, like the delectable passion fruit martini, are simple yet flavorful. Classic drinks are also available, and the friendly bartenders are always ready to help with recommendations.
