Art Bar

On our lists of the best cocktail bars and activities in New York.

A reproduction of The Last Supper, celebrities standing in for the apostles and Jim Morrison as Christ, hangs in the back room of this West Village bar, open for more than two decades. The surrounding brick walls rotate in different local artists' paintings every few months, and a working fireplace with overstuffed couches makes the back room the quieter half. Up front, the bar runs livelier, with a digital jukebox and a late-night kitchen serving fried calamari and other bar food, including vegetarian options. Happy hour runs daily, and the list also carries a rotating set of seasonal cocktails.
