Bar XII:
If you like sports in a clubby atmosphere you’re lucky that this place is so close to the Midtown Tunnel. This lounge is all about the bridge and tunnel crowd and its seven-days-a-week happy hour promises to keep the party going day or night. With 17 game-projecting plasma screens, this is a natural for sports freaks who appreciate a “casual neat” dress code. On weekend nights, this place morphs into the thumping Club XII, magnetically attracting those 20- and 30-somethings looking to indulge in live DJ music and fruity, pungent cocktails. On a Tuesday or a Wednesday, though, be prepared to sing some serious karaoke or engage in an all-business speed-date.
