Lower East Side
Bars in Lower East Side where you can actually talk
No shouting, no DJ, no standing three-deep at the bar. The quiet-enough rooms in Lower East Side, 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 · SoHo & Nolita
Beyond The Pale
Went here once before a dinner and they seated us right away and had a couple much needed pre dinner cocktails. Seems like a good vibe. Don't know what its like at night.

3 · West Village
The Peculiar Pub
Fun spot on Bleeker street. Tons of seating, and a good spot to go with a group. Bouncer is kind of scary.
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?
