Located at 1442 First Avenue in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Second Floor is a speakeasy-style spot atop the Second Ave Deli’s First Avenue location. Somewhat hard to find, the entrance to the bar is around the corner on 75th Street. After climbing a flight of stairs, patrons will be greeted at a host station and then can take a seat at the small-ish bar or a table. The staff is attentive and the drink options are plentiful. Second Floor offers both classic cocktails as well as some of their own. Beer and wine are also available. We look forward to returning here.

A review of The Rochard on Manhattan’s Upper East Side
Located at 1504 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan’s (Upper) Upper East Side, The Rochard is a solid beer bar from the same owners as The Jeffrey a few miles to the south and east. During our visit, there were around 20 quality tap beers available, along with wine (no hard liquor). Overall, we found The Rochard a great addition to the immediate area because we do not know of any other beer bars that are nearby this location. Definitely stop in here on your next NYC pub crawl through the neighborhood.

A review of Charc Bar on Manhattan’s Upper East Side
Located at 318 East 84th Street, Charc Bar is a wine and charcuterie bar located on a tranquil block in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. If you want to enjoy a quiet drink or three, this is the spot for you! Long and rather narrow, Charc Bar focuses on wine and the perfect type of food to go with that wine. There’s also a small selection of bottled/canned beers and a limited full bar to complement the wine.
