Maggie Hall’s

On our list of the best cocktail bars in New York.

The same team behind Judy & Punch and Madam Marie's opened this Victorian-themed bar in a former hair salon on 30th Avenue, seating around 40 inside plus another 35 in the back, and painting the walls green and purple under two chandeliers hung with 19th-century-style portraits. It's named for Maggie Hall, an Irish immigrant and brothel madam working New York in the 1870s. The cocktail list runs to house drinks like a Midnight Martini made with coffee liqueur and espresso, backed by wine and beer mostly sourced from New York breweries.
