Tim Shey: A fun, faithful facsimile of gilded age Gotham, from the menu to the murals. Order the most old-school stuff on the menu and enjoy.
Eater: Cocktail maven Julie Reiner revamped the list and the bartenders. As has always been the case, the room is dark, romantic, and old school--a perfect place for fun rendezvous or a business drink.
Bergdorf Goodman: It's a BG New York City Secret! Victoria Beckham loves this uber chic and classic bar. Read more.

Christie Griffin: This place is basically a hot guy parade at lunchtime. Lol.

The Corcoran Group: One of our favorite Midtown afterwork spots. We definitely recommend ordering the delicious Banana Bread Beer - but if that isn't your style, go for the sampler and try a few!
Untappd: Located on 55th and 2nd, this small little bar has tons of taps and great food. There is a special private area in the back with lounge chairs and TVs. Great selection!
Alex Grabowski: Outlets underneath the bar!

Pia: My new fave neighborhood bar that is def a "regulars" type of spot. The dirty martinis are solid. The spinach dip, pulled pork sandwich and Cajun fries are all delish. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Brew York: Carved out of the back of another bar, this craft beer spot is an oasis in the vast wasteland of generic Midtown after-work bars. Check out the patio upstairs.
Sinking Ship Records: The bartenders are cute - and they like to chat. So treat them well. It's not uncommon to get a couple drinks knocked off your bill! Consider it a challenge.
