Flute

Proudly stocking 100 types of champagne, several of which are available by the glass, this former speakeasy successfully blends high-end opulence and a sumptuous menu with a romantic atmosphere and friendly service.
Grand Bar

Like its sister TriBeCa Grand, the SoHo Grand is a neighborhood nightlife mecca, comfortable, softly lit, with food if you want it, and filled with beautiful people.
Iridium Jazz Club

A fine follow-up to a Lincoln Center performance, Iridium has funky decor, good food, a varied wine list, and excellent established and new jazz groups. The great guitarist Les Paul plays here Monday nights.
Jazz Standard

This stylish club has first-rate acoustics and plays traditional to avant garde music. The loft restaurant, Blue Smoke, is recommended.
Joe’s Pub

This swanky oasis attached to the Public Theater hosts an eclectic range of well-known and emerging artists, from jazz to rock, hip hop, and lounge. A DJ usually finishes the night.
King Cole Bar and Lounge

Maxfield Parrish’s famous mural of Old King Cole, rich mahogany paneling, and sumptuous seating set the stage for New York’s most famous hotel bar, which has only been admitting women since 1950. Lush, luxurious, and very expensive, the soft piano music sets a mood that makes it easy to clinch a deal or spark a romance.
Knitting Factory

This multilevel complex has four bars and four performance spaces, the variety drawing an eclectic crowd to TriBeCa. The café and the bars, serving microbrew beers, are popular spots.
Lenox Lounge

A standby for 50 years, the lounge has a new retro look and features the latest sounds in jazz as well as more traditional numbers.
Liquor Store Bar

The building dates to 1804 and was once a liquor store, but now it’s a comfortable, low-key place to have a beer.
Londel’s Supper Club

Part of the new Harlem, with upscale ambience, waiters in tuxedos, delicious Southern fare, and good live jazz on weekends.
