If you're still up for more, try ending the night at this dive bar featuring the fewest bankers in the area. Great people watching and cheap(ish) drinks.

Great music, friendly staff and nice draft list. Use the ATM inside since its cash only. Snag a window table to people watch.

If you can get the window seating here, then there's no reason to move along. Tons of afternoon sun. Not a big place either but definitely a relaxed one.

Easily the best beer bar in the West Village. Get there before rush hour and grab a coveted window table. Order a Sly Fox or any of their rotating seasonal brews and feed some dollars to the juke box.

The booths looking out at Hudson are probably my two favorite places in NYC. If you don't think "Use Me" is one of the most killer songs of all time, you probably don't belong here.

Super chill and low key, great spot for a weeknight after work drink.

The best. No bullshit and one of the best jukes in NYC.

I always think I should find some other bar to drink in down here. I'm always wrong. This is the one.

Solid bar with (thankfully) no flashiness. Just strong, cheap drinks and cool bartenders.

Cash only. But who cares? That's what ATM machines are for, you credit card-happy culture.
Ben HuffMarch 24, 2015
Cash only bars are great, you stick to buying drinks only for people you know

Guys, don't play bohemian rhapsody on the jukebox. Seriously, the cd breaks every time. It's always so sad.

Low key bar right across from The White Horse Tavern, even though I'm not drinking this year, i just remember they make really stiff drinks there... Read more

I wish there were a tunnel connecting WXOU and WCOU, so I could skip every bar in between.

This place is awesome. $3.50 drinks & $4.00 drafts during HH. And no f*g Red Bull; AKA, no bull in general.

Careful, place is cash only and their ATM has a crazy fee

Grab a window seat, a pint of beer, and put some money in the jukebox, a great way to spend happy hour!
