Spring Lounge, Manhattan
6 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/FoodNYC, r/AskNYC8 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Many people recommend Spring Lounge, a Manhattan bar that two commenters name as a day-drinking stop or as the first place to start. One patron describes it as an actual dive bar, while another recommends it for drinking alone in a friendlier, old-school setting. Caveats: one patron says it works only on weekday afternoons, and one commenter is strongly negative, jokingly saying it would only be bearable if it were about a decade earlier. A commenter also cautions that not every bar on a day-drinking list suits night drinking.
