One of the few bars left in New York that opens daily at 8am, the Spring Lounge was voted "Best Bar To Have A Drink In Before Noon" by "L" magazine, and "Best Mid-Afternoon Bar" by the "New York Press". Originally opened in the 1920's as an illegal "to-go" shop filling buckets of beer for take-out, this corner staple has seen a variety of transformations before settling into the bar we love today. The old wooden bar and exposed brick lend themselves nicely to a relaxed (and unpretentious!) atmosphere where you can feel a little less anonymous in this ever-growing city of millions. Whether you like listening to good tunes on the juke box, watching the ball game, or chatting with your favorite bartender, this is the perfect place for either holing up in a corner by yourself to stare out one of the giant windows, or meeting the neighborhood regulars who always have a good story to tell.
