East Village
Bars in East Village where you can actually talk
No shouting, no DJ, no standing three-deep at the bar. The quiet-enough rooms in East Village, according to ROUND.
1 · Lower East Side
Swift Hibernian Lounge
I have had some good nights here with a big group of people. Sometimes annoying to get drinks. Live music sometimes? Lots of seating.
2 · West Village
Wilfie & Nell
Great spot to go with friends for a couple drinks, or to round out a date. Love the vibe, and theres seats and standing room. Very open feel. Citi bikes right outside. Bouncer could be nicer, and the bathrooms are weird.
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
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?
