Madam Geneva, New York

Leather banquettes, exposed brick, dim lighting, dark walls, lace panels, and a wood-paneled ceiling make this cozy bar/lounge a great spot for relaxing amidst a mix of artists, fashionistas, and perennial downtown hipsters. Along with a small selection of wines by the glass (around $10), beers (around $8), and cocktails (around $9 and include three that come with a spoonful of homemade preserves and jams), there is a wide selection of top-shelf liquor ready to be enjoyed any which way you desire in this imperialist-themed joint from the same folks behind Double Crown, Stanton Social, and Public. Hungry? A mash-up of moderately-priced, meant to be shared pub fare and Asian street food dishes are available for your indulgence.
