Following the opening of Zaytinya last fall, restaurateur José Andrés debuted Nubeluz, a rooftop bar at the Ritz-Carlton in Nomad. Cocktails like the Foggy Hill, made with mezcal, vermouth, Cynar, Aperol, and an orange-thyme “aromatic cloud” pair with sky-high views and caviar service.

Discolo is the latest in a series of openings at this storied Chelsea address, which was once home to the upscale Italian restaurant Del Posto. Mel’s pizzeria came first, followed by Al Coro, the Italian tasting menu spot helmed by chef Melissa Rodriguez. This underground cocktail bar with a light-up ceiling that syncs to music is bringing up the rear.

Michelin-starred sushi bro destination Noda from Shigeyuki Tsunoda opened Shinji’s, a cocktail bar in the front of the restaurant. It’s named for the Tokyo fixer Shinji Nohara who, for 20 years, has connected travelers to food and restaurants around Tokyo — including the late Anthony Bourdain. Grab a seat at the horseshoe bar and order a couple of luxe snacks, like crab and uni, or wagyu with truffle mayo on milk bread, to go with cocktails like a vesper, dirty martini, or a soba cha cha cha

Pubkey opened in Greenwich Village last fall, taking over a subterranean space that has housed various pubs and dive bars over the last hundred years. Cocktails are straightforward and well-priced for the area but the biggest draw might be the food menu, served until late. Greg Proechel, a chef who trained at Eleven Madison Park, is serving hot dogs in a handful of regional styles, plus chopped cheeses, smash burgers, and loaded fries. The spot now accepts Bitcoin.

Did Greenpoint need another bar serving apertivi? Probably not. But the new spot, located at the street level of a landmarked apartment building, has apertivi aplenty and neighborhood charm. Saddle up to the rounded bar, and stop by for cocktails (there’s a surprisingly not-too-sweet appletini), wine, and beer, alongside several non-alcoholic apertivi options. Snacks include Mallorcan bread with tomato, croquettes with sofrito, and burrata with lavender.

The Soho dive bar that closed in 2014 has been revived by Julie Reiner of Leyenda and Clover Club, where a Big Apple Martini and fancy gelatin shots are on the menu, side-by-side with a shot and a beer. (There’s also a zero-proof menu for January.) The food menu is equally as polarized, with chilled lobster tails as well as chicken tenders and loaded potato skins.

High-end audio equipment and fancy acoustic paneling set this cocktail bar apart from the many neighborhood bars in this stretch of Brooklyn. Eavesdrop opened last year, bringing a cocktail lounge and “listening bar” (think: vinyl records and live DJs playing from a custom speaker system) to Greenpoint. The team is going for a laid-back, living room-like atmosphere with light wood walls.

The East Village’s newest cocktail bar comes from the owners of Joyface, a ’70s-themed bar next door that can feel like a club on weekends. At HiLot, the vibe is more reined in, but only slightly. Cocktails start at around $20 each, with names like “the OnlyFans,” and tables can be reserved on Tock ahead of time. (The bar claims to accept walk-ins, but really, it’s worth making a reservation.) While Joyface has come to be known for its waterbed, at HiLot, find sexy design touches like a mirrored ceiling and clawfoot tub in its bathroom.

A family all from Ireland and veterans of Fiddlesticks Pub, with a brother who is a Don Angie alum, have teamed up to open Beyond the Pale bar. The cocktails here are grouped from the low-ABV “calm, cool, and collected,” and “hyped-up highballs,” to “truth comes out,” with washed martini drinks, and “ready to rumble” espresso-based cocktails. And yes, there’s a “stone-cold sober” section, too.

Southern California-based brand Juneshine has opened in Brooklyn with a 64-seat bar, its first on the East Coast. The corner space is spread out over two areas: a relaxed taproom up front and a lounge in the back with group seating and live DJs. Choose among around a dozen hard kombuchas in pints and flights, with flavors like honey-ginger and blood orange-mint. The fermented drinks all hover around six-percent ABV — a hair stronger than a Blue Moon — with Juneshine canned cocktails, natural wine, sparkling cosmopolitans, and other drinks for sale. A small food menu lists oysters, tinned fish, shrimp cocktails, and cheese.

It’s been two years since the owners of Chinese Tuxedo opened the Tyger, their pan-Asian restaurant on the edge of Soho and Chinatown. Last fall, the team followed up with a small bar next door with a bar counter, booth seating, and a list of classic cocktails — negronis, martinis, margaritas, and so on — priced at $19 each. There’s a short food menu ranging from chicken nuggets and hot dogs to steak and fries.
