Members Only, the fashion brand known for its 1980s bomber-style jackets, is opening a bar and store on November 21 at 53 West Eighth Street (between Fifth and Sixth avenues) in Greenwich Village. The three-level bar is meant as a permanent hangout, not a pop-up, with a ground-floor room for cocktails and snacks, a mezzanine retail space, and a more secluded lounge below for late-night groups and private events.
The much-loved cocktail spot has had a full refurb, reopening on 13th November with a nostalgic nod to the nineties and a few surprises that'll make you want to stay all night. Founded in 1998, Be At One's always been about good times and great value drinks, and the new space keeps that spirit alive but with a glossier edge.

Bar Rêve opened earlier this month at the corner of Smith and Butler Streets in Cobble Hill, bringing a cosmopolitan flair to its craft with a curated selection of specialty cocktails. Guests receive the cocktail menu in a bound book, which can also be purchased, and is refreshed every 12 to 18 months.
You could go to Mr. Mahjong's several days in a row and have completely different experiences each time. This Financial District cocktail bar packs its calendar with near-nightly events, like live music, comedy shows, calligraphy workshops, and, naturally, mahjong nights. Depending on what's happening, you'll find the action either upstairs or downstairs, both of which have the same dark, speakeasy feel with glowing red lanterns and the occasional Chinese lion head.
