Joyface

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

There's no drink menu at Joyface: reach into a bowl of liquor and mixer names, pull two at random, and the bartender builds a cocktail around whatever comes out, or just order a standard drink if the gamble doesn't appeal. The room leans into a kitschy '70s look, with tiger paintings, colored shag rugs, a disco ball and a waterbed in the corner doubling as seating. A fireplace anchors one side of the room, and Saturdays start with an early dance party at 5pm with free pizza at 8. It shows up on Infatuation's own list of first-date recommendations.
