Bar Next Door

West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District


One of the loveliest hangouts in the neighborhood, the basement of this restored town house is all low ceilings, exposed brick and romantic lighting. You'll find mellow, live jazz nightly, as well as the tasty Italian menu of the restaurant next door, La Lanterna di Vittorio.

Admission is free for the emerging artist sets, held from 6:30pm to 7:45pm Monday through Thursday.
