Highlights
  • The Library - Welcome to the Library bar, where the books are props and the beer is always flowing. Forget shushing librarians; this place is all about the noise and the nostalgia. With dim lighting, well-worn wood, and a vibe that feels like a rebellious bookstore after-hours, Library Bar is your go-to spot for mingling with locals who know where the good times are at. The clientele? A delightful mix of students who should be studying and regulars who know every bartender by name. It’s cozy, it’s unpretentious, and it’s our first stop on the dive bar tour because, let’s be real, who doesn’t love a place where the only overdue fee is that you haven’t visited in a while? Oh, and did we mention that we buy you a beer here? Yep, that’s right. It’s like a story with a happy ending—only this time, the book is a cold one and it’s yours to crack open.

Additional Information

Welcome to the East Village, Manhattan’s last affordable playground for those in their early 20s. While living here might be out of reach for many, it’s an incredible spot for a night of adventures. Amidst the dive bars, you’ll find some of the best streets to wander during a night out. The East Village is brimming with character, ready to unleash your inner wild side. Once you’ve embraced that wildness (and perhaps enjoyed a hot dog or two), we’ll channel that energy into Alphabet City; once infamous for its toughness, now celebrated for its vibrant drinking scene. You’ll never see East Manhattan the same way again—it’s no pushover.

(Make sure to bring a valid ID and cash)

Wish it was a positive experience - Unfortunately I had a bad experience with the owner of this company. I accidentally scheduled the wrong date and emailed and called about rescheduling. The owner called me up and immediately was annoyed that I made a simple mistake. Instead of rescheduling me for the same trip, he put us in Brooklyn. At the time I was okay with it, but this was mostly me wanting to get off the phone with him based on how attitude towards me. I ended up contacting him the morning of and letting him know we can’t go on that night and if it was possible to get a refund. I did not expect one, but I wanted to ask either way as it was expensive. He then went into this tirade about how the customer is not always right and how he was going to report me. I was astounded by him and his attitude. There are a lot of bar crawls in NYC, do not do this one. I can only imagine going around the bars with this guy will make you only want to drink even more.
