Chelsea
Best bars in Chelsea for a big group
Where eight or more of you can actually get in, sit down, and hear each other enough to argue about the next place. ROUND's picks for Chelsea.
1 · Chelsea
The Standard Biergarten
Spent 8 hours here once. Place rocks, great for day drinking. During March Madness they have a basketball hoop you can shoot on. Feels like one big party. Big benches, great german beer, Top 3 bathrooms in NYC. Saturday.
2 · Murray Hill & Kips Bay
Banc Bar Cafe
Great Spot to grab a drink or two with friends before heading out. Would not spend my whole night there. Thursday live music is pure bliss. Mid week cocktails, and food. Nothing Shmancy.
3 · SoHo & Nolita
The Folly
One of our favorites. Night I went there was a DJ and no one liked my Robot dance. Ton of booth seating. Maybe even a spot for after a date if it’s going well. Don’t quote
4 · West Village
Hudson Hound
Watched the Knicks comeback here. Fun spot. Always crowded with good people. Tons of seats all around.
5 · Chelsea
Brass Monkey
3 story bar, fun on every level. Rooftop bar uptop, always crowded. Don't go during intern season. Each level gets a little more intense, fun. I wouldn't eat there. Go with a group.
Lists are for reading. ROUND is for tonight.
Tell it the neighborhood, the vibe, how many of you, and when. Three places, ten seconds.
Where should we go?
