Bars of Greenwich Village: 14th Street
Greenwich Village has gone through some pretty dramatic changes over the past decade, but the one constant is that it’s always easy to find a good time in this New York neighborhood. While the ever-changing landscape has led to some sad goodbyes in recent memory (CBGB), plenty of new favorites have sprung up and now’s the time to become the cool regular at tomorrow’s hot spots. For a night of fun, look no further than 14th street for a formidable fountain of festivities!
Otto’s Shrunken Head
Who doesn’t love a good Tiki Bar? While one might have never expected a little luau action anywhere in the five boroughs, Otto’s Shrunken Head offers a touch of the tropics right on the isle of Manhattan. With truly incredible Tiki statues and palm trees, it’s decorated in dynamic island decadence. Along with the standard alcohol selections, the real treat at Otto’s are their numerous specialty drinks, served with such theatrics that the use of each glass requires a $5 deposit. If you’re looking for the rhythm of the night, it’s a great place to strike up the band.
King’s Head Tavern
While retaining its genuinely classy decorum, King’s Head Tavern has rebranded itself in recent months as the spot for Generation Y to unwind for a night of nostalgia. A diverse drink selection and ever-changing specials are only enhanced by the recent addition of live music. Frequently showcasing such acts as 90s-cover band the Bayside Tigers, the familiarity in the air instills a comforting sense of camaraderie, making everyone in attendance feel like lifelong friends. Whether you’re looking for nostalgia or new memories, King’s Head Tavern promises a royally good time.
Bunga’s Den
The newest addition to 14th Street’s nightlife, Bunga’s Den offers everything from themed parties to the latest sporting events to even a great nightcap. While many bars, especially in the city, can get a little claustrophobic at the end of the night, Bunga’s Den is big enough to allow you to be personal without invading personal space. The drink selection offers New York’s finest microbrews alongside standard frat house favorites and even acclaimed frozen drinks, so no matter what your friends’ tastes are, it’s a place everyone can agree on. It’s a true crowd pleaser that will turn any night into a good one.
