Bar Snack
New York, United States
North America's 50 Best Bars ranked it No. 3 in 2026. The Spirited Awards named it Best U.S. Cocktail Bar in 2026 and a Top 4 finalist for Best U.S. Bar Team in 2026.
Time Out named it the No. 1 bar in New York City for January 2026, and the program explains why: matcha frozens, salad Negronis built with nectarine and basil, a Phish Food Old Fashioned, and every cocktail priced under eighteen dollars. The menu organizes drinks into One & Somes, Crushers, and Big Licks, categories that move from sessionable to spirit-forward without losing the irreverent tone. At No. 85 on North America's 50 Best, Bar Snack delivers serious drinking disguised as a neighborhood hangout. It won Best U.S. Cocktail Bar at the 2026 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards.
