The East Village whiskey bar has expanded across town to 207 Seventh Avenue.  Copper Still Chelsea is a spacious and welcoming spot offering hundreds of whiskeys and other spirits.  Stop in here on your next Seventh Avenue NYC pub crawl!

This one located about as far west as you can go on the Upper West Side: 100 Riverside Blvd (between 64th and 65th Streets).  The vast wine selection and friendly/knowledgeable staff make this spot a must-visit.

Stop in at the recently-opened second location of Bar Bacon at 127 Fourth Avenue.  A sports bar with a good beer selection that also offers different types of bacon as both appetizers and prominent features in their entrees.

Be sure to stop in at the latest opening of the beer bar Clinton Hall empire, this one located at 247 Metropolitan Avenue in Brooklyn.

Stop in at the fifth (and most recent to open) location of the wine bar Bar Veloce, located at 862 Ninth Avenue.

Be sure to stop in at Westlight, the rooftop bar at the William Vale hotel, located at 111 N. 12th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Located at 202 Clinton Street, The Dancer is a rather small bar from the owner’s of next door bar Eastwood.  The vibe at The Dancer is rather chill.  There’s not much seating beyond the bar area.  The bathroom contains a rotating disco ball!  Definitely check out The Dancer on your next LES NYC pub crawl.

Located at 134 Ninth Avenue in Manhattan’s Chelsea, The 18^th Room is another speakeasy by the same folks as next door’s Bathtub Gin.  The 18^th Room is named for the National Prohibition Act, which ultimately became the 18^th Amendment ushering in Prohibition in the U.S.  Like its Bathtub Gin sibling, the entry into 18^th Room is through a Stone Street coffee shop.  Based on our visit, it appears as though a reservation, if not required, is highly recommended.  After entry, patrons can sit at the bar or in the somewhat spacious lounge just beyond the bar.  The staff is particularly attentive, offering free popcorn and quick to fill up patrons’ water glasses.  The artisanal cocktails are solid, though rather pricey at $18 a piece.  If you feel like splurging on your next night out, then a visit to The 18^th Room is in order.

Located at 58-15 Woodside Avenue in Woodside, Queens, Beerkeeper is a part beer bar / part Irish pub, picking up where Shelley’s left off.  The spot is fairly spacious with a tiny outdoor area in back.  The draught beers number around a dozen with a few hard-to-find beers.  The food menu is rather limited (think snacks and a few panini-like sandwiches), so if you’re hungry, you’ll want to go somewhere else nearby first before spending a long time at Beerkeeper.  Add in the friendly staff and Beerkeeper is an overall solid spot to include on your next Woodside NYC bar crawl.

Located at 10-28 46^th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, Fifth Hammer is a recent newcomer to the LIC craft brewery scene.  The space is an old garage, half of which is the actual brewery, the other half is the bar / tasting room.  On a warm day, patrons can sit next to the open garage doors and enjoy the 46^th Avenue people watching.  The on-site brewed beer selection numbers around 15-16 and is, shall we say, somewhat eclectic.  Several sours, some various takes on IPAs and saisons.  Open seven days per week for visitors, Fifth Hammer is a great addition to the LIC craftbeer pub crawl.
