New York City boasts one of the most bustling night-life scenes in the United States. Whether spending an evening at a bar with a group of friends, relaxing at a lounge with drinks before a dinner date, or going clubbing with the girls, the night-life in NYC offers a little bit of everything. Lower Manhattan is infamous for the activity it brings to New York City night-life. The best activities for a busy night in the West Village, the East Village, and Greenwich Village can be found right here.Pubs or Bars
Heading out for a drink after work or meeting up with some friends for a drink or two? Consider a pub or bar in lower Manhattan. The Blue Ribbon Downing Street Bar in the West Village is great for individuals or small groups, and features a full bar and no smoking. It's a great wine bar in a great location. If martinis are more your thing, head to Angel's Share in the East Village, a martini bar ideal for a midweek drink. Vol de Nuit is perfect for a younger crowd, with lots of beer at fairly reasonable prices. The lower Manhattan bar list could go on and on, making them a mainstay of the night-life in NYC.
Lounges
Slightly more upscale than a pub or a bar, lower Manhattan also offers a variety of lounges. Expect comfortable couches, benches and a full cocktail menu at most lounges. Some will have live music or border on a nightclub, while others are romantic hole-in-the-wall spots ideal for a few drinks before dinner. Try the Velvet Cigar Lounge in the East Village for a stunning selection of drinks and cigars and a change of pace. Also in the East Village, try the Blue Owl for tapas or the Sin Sin Leopard Lounge for a romantic drink over candlelight. Try the Apple Restaurant & Bom Bar in Greenwich Village for an Asian feel and delicious cocktails. The relaxing and upscale atmosphere of a lounge is perfect for starting a night in lower Manhattan.
