The Library of Distilled Spirits

Must-try cocktail: Piece of Paradise

This is the ideal spot for drinks and nibbles. This place is literally a floor-to-ceiling liquor library, making it well-worthy of a place on our list! With vintage chairs and tables dotted around the venue, its lamps encased in brass and its one-of-a-kind zinc bar, this place gives off an inviting glow ‌you won’t be able to not share! We’ve got a particular soft spot for the three-tiered chandelier in the centre of the room. 

Peakaboo, Hudson Yards

Must-try cocktail: Bees Knees

Perched 101 floors above NYC and surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, this elevated (literally) lounge and cocktail bar offers incredible views of the city by night. With a cocktail menu that’s as well-thought-out and beautifully designed as the venue, you can’t go wrong choosing this place for your next night out for drinks and bar bites.
