The Buzziest New Bars In The East Village

If you're looking for a gritty dive bar, bro-filled spot to watch the game, or a date night hole-in-the-wall, the East Village has definitely got you covered. But unless you're crashing some NYU kid's unauthorized rager, there aren't many options when it comes to drinking on a roof. Thankfully, there's The Ready, the colorful rooftop bar atop the Moxy East Village. With funky decor, hand painted murals, string lights, and mix-and-match tableside coolers filled with cans of local brews, the watering hole boasts laid-back vibes reminiscent of a backyard bash - but don't attempt the milk crate challenge at the bar.
