Way west, and worth the trip for the view.

The bar stocks more than 20 varieties of brew, including Lindemann's...

Not only is WEST one of NYC's most impressive downtown lounges, but it also boasts fantastic music and, undoubtedly, the best waterfront view in town.

The patrons vary, depending on the night, but I've been...

swanky laid back vibe. lacking pretense but not substance. this westside treasure was the perfect venue to meet up with old friends and make new ones. excellent selection of beers and wines. the bartender mixed me up the ever so elusive perfect margarita. good conversation, company and music. aesthetically pleasing view(and crowd). i'm going back!

Pros

+ view, lighting, cocktails
