Welcome to the Eater Cocktail Heatmap, focusing on the hottest new bar openings in New York every month.<\/p>\n
Eater editors do thorough reporting on the\u00a0most exciting\u00a0restaurant openings<\/a> to hit the city, as well as\u00a0smaller openings<\/a>\u00a0worth having on the radar. In this monthly map, we narrow the field to cocktail bars that are drawing the most excitement, buzz, crowds, and early positive chatter, focusing on spots that have only been open for six months or less. When an Eater editor has already been to a place, we share insider tips on what to expect and what\u2019s worth ordering as well.<\/p>\n New to the list in April: Greenpoint neighborhood bar the Peek Inn<\/a>; Lower East Side\u2019s Cocktail Omakase<\/a>; new rum destination Echo Lake<\/a> in Williamsburg; the Corima team\u2019s new downtown Mexican cocktail spot Bar Chucho<\/a>; and Bodega Nights<\/a>, the LES wine bar Babysips team\u2019s venture into Bushwick. For now, we\u2019ve removed the Argyle, 25 Hours, and Bar Maeda (which might be closed<\/a>).<\/p>\n For related drinking guides, check out Eater NY\u2019s picks for the best cocktail bars<\/a>, dive bars<\/a>, and wine bars<\/a>. And for more New York dining recommendations, check out the new hotspots in\u00a0Manhattan<\/a>, Brooklyn<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0Queens<\/a>.
