5 Lower East Side Cocktail Bars For Grownups

If you're not a regular grownup, but rather, a cool grownup (who works in fashion or art or some obscure creative field we've never heard of), you can rub elbows with your fellow scenesters at The Flower Shop. The '70s-inspired hot spot boasts a diner-like eatery upstairs, as well as a subterranean watering hole decked out in tastefully retro decor. There's plenty of room for larger groups, and even a pool table that seems sourced straight from your grandfather's basement.
