Black Crescent.

Worth it, says Antonina. Furthermore, with daily happy hour from 5-7PM featuring $10 cocktails, how can this not be one of the best bars in the Lower East Side?

It's on 2 of my lists. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Worth it
  • Cost$10 cocktails
  • Address76 Clinton St, New York, NY 10002
  • From my guide, updated February 2024.

If you’re looking for a dive-bar vibe with craft-cocktail quality you need look no further than Black Crescent. The fry-cook deserves a raise, I don’t care what they’re making because I’ve eaten my weight in Bang Bang Shrimp (Gulf-Coast shrimp, spicy aioli and lime). Furthermore, with daily happy hour from 5-7PM featuring $10 cocktails, how can this not be one of the best bars in the Lower East Side?
