Leftfield
This Lower East Side gem is perfect for those of you who want to drink, dance, and listen to awesome live music, all for a fraction of what it would cost you to do it at a club in Meatpacking. Upstairs the bar has a more dive-y vibe, while downstairs is the music and dancing happens. They also have incredible cheeseburger egg rolls, which we wouldn't hate as a night cap at 3 a.m.
Leftfield, 87 Ludlow Street, 212-677-1100
