Toad Hall

On our lists of the best activities and arcades & games in New York.

Leather banquettes, a marble-topped table and an old trophy case fill this no-frills bar on Grand Street, alongside red stools and a stretch of exposed brick out front. A pool table in back stays busy, and the taps run mostly domestic and East Coast drafts like Goose Island and Captain Lawrence, priced like a neighborhood dive rather than a craft-beer bar. Cocktails lean classic: martinis, negronis, nothing fussier. Heaters keep the small patio open past summer, and the bar pours from noon to 4am every day.
