169 Bar
Let’s get this rager started with arguably one of the only bars on this list that can say they’ve been standing since 1916, Chinatown’s 169 Bar. Exhibiting the most classic markers of a good dive — shitty pleather booths, a happy hour that starts at noon and a pool table — it’s no wonder that this gem has survived gentrification. Unexpected decor elements include a fish tank and plenty of palm trees, lending a quirky vibe to this literal hole-in-the-wall. Thanks to its out-of-the-way East Broadway location, the crowd is always obscure and always interesting. Highly recommended for a reliable place to get weird.
