Best Cocktail Bars in New York

New York remains the deepest cocktail city in the United States, and the rankings say so. Superbueno ranks twelfth on the World's 50 Best Bars 2025, with Sip & Guzzle, Double Chicken Please and Overstory also on the global list, and North America's 50 Best Bars 2026 places Bar Snack third and Schmuck fourth. Beyond the ranked rooms the bench is long: Attaboy and Employees Only in Manhattan, Amor y Amargo and its bitters-led menu in the East Village, and the Brooklyn rooms that have reshaped how the city drinks. The list below covers every New York cocktail bar we have verified, from Midtown hotel classics to Bed-Stuy and Williamsburg, each with the address, published hours and the drinks to order. The city guide linked below ranks the best of them.
