Worth it, says Antonina. Home to handsome bartenders sporting iconic red coats, Harry’s is the quintessential Financial District bar for an step up night on the town.

  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Home to handsome bartenders sporting iconic red coats, Harry’s is the quintessential Financial District bar for an step up night on the town. Allegedly the birthplace of the martini, this iconic bar has been around since 1972. An extension of the original, Harry’s Side Bar is a European-inspired cocktail and wine bar serving small bites.

Libations are offered for $5-12 during happy hour, pair a cocktail with the restaurant’s signature lamb meatballs or smoky papas bravas and settle in for the hour.
