Drinks near Financial District?

[coffeeluva]

Any suggestions for a place for drinks (3 adults) in/near Financial District area? My girlfriend suggested The Kitchen Bar and Girl (Broad St) and another friend suggested Les Halles (John St). I am not sure about either and would greatly welcome suggestions. Thank you

Agree with the above posts: Stone Street gives you multiple options, but they are mostly saloons (which I happen to LOVE) that may not be appropriate for your occasion. So, here are some places where older folks go (note, I did not say adults: After a day of trading, many people keep in their adolescent mode; you did not give us a time, but all of these get a bit pushy and shovey > the market close). So (in no order), 1) Harry's, the iconic WS bar at 1 Hannover. 2) Wall & Water (same address), new, very sedate, more upscale; 3) Bobby Vann's, (25 Broad @ Exchange) and Capital Grille (Pine & Nassau) both outposts of chains, but v good for the local environment. Staromarvo's idea of Front St is a good one and I would add Nelson Blue to the list. Please report back and tell us how it all works out.

Hi Thanks again for all the suggestions. We wound up at the Last Shilling which was not very good and a bad choice. Thank you again.

What sort of place are you looking for? Beer, wine, cocktails?

I would recommend checking out Stone Street -- there is a bit of everything, granted that the days of enjoying a drink outside seem to be over. If you like wine, I enjoy Vintry Wine & Whiskey 57 on Stone Street.

If you're looking for standard cocktails (with the caveat that I haven't been for drinks), you may want to check out the BLT Bar & Grill in the W Hotel on Albany st. and Washington. It seems quite busy.

Vintry is a nice spot but can be deafeningly loud, just fyi. If you're open to wandering up to Front Street, I really love Bin 220, which specializes in wine but also has cocktails (also some delicious meats & cheeses if you want a snack). The scene tends to be mellower than Stone Street.
