Formerly the private office and saloon of ‘20s tycoon John Campbell, this very classy lounge at Grand Central Station is awe-inspiring. They’ve recently opened an outdoor addition, the Campbell Terrace, where you can sip your Manhattan and talk out the corner of your mouth in style. Tip: weekdays the commuter crowd flocks here for happy hour.

We can’t believe we’re quoting It’s A Wonderful Life, but there’s one part in the film where Nick the bartender is all, “Hey look, mister – we serve hard drinks in here for men [ed. note: and women] who want to get drunk fast.” That’s Whiskey Ward and their astonishing selction of whisky. Plus, they have a pool table for all you sharks. Anyone up for a game?
