Get Your Groove On NYC Bar Scene

A Diva needs to cool down towards the end of a simmering city summer. Slip into your best LBD and wear undeniably sexy shoes because it’s time to step out in style to one of Manhattan’s (and Brooklyn’s newest) Diva-tested, Diva-approved bars.

The Plaza Hotel- The Rose Club
Classically tailored, just like his uncle Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Fredo’s summer engagement at the Plaza Hotel’s Rose Bar every Wednesday night attracts standing room only crowds. Fredo’s voice, backed by a jazzy orchestra, draws a fashionable, modern 1920s crowd. A diva as stylish as you will feel right at home. 5th Avenue & Central Park South

Standard’s Beer Garden
Looking to impress your co-workers at one of the sleekest happy hours known to NYC? You’ll shine even brighter at this spot, Diva. Enjoy sexy city views while you sit and sip on the patio at dusk. Mark your calendars, divas. You’re ahead of the game. 848 Washington Street

Palace Gate
Set in the Villard Mansion at The New York Palace, this swanky outdoor courtyard defines luxury. This private, secluded little cove provides imaginative dishes and classic drinks. Look at the stars in the middle of Midtown Manhattan. Get comfy because it’s going to be a long, glamorous night. Madison & 50th Street

Beauty Bar Brooklyn
Divas, it’s time to bring the fabulous 60s out to play! An all-time favorite Manhattan staple has made the move to Bushwick. Beauty Bar, known for manis at the bar, finger food, and cheap drinks ($3-$5 beers; $5-$7 mixed drinks), has achieved major style points by creating this modern retro superfly mark in Brooklyn. 921 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY

Le Poisson Rouge
Meet your very own jazz man at this swanky city lounge. Opened by two classical musicians who met at the Manhattan School of Music, this live music space ready for 800 is fit for an entire orchestra or a full on rock ‘n roll show. Enjoy two film screens and two elevated VIP opera boxes that are the sugar on top. Hurry, Diva. The VIP boxes have your name on it. 158 Bleecker Street

Now that fall is right around the corner it’s time to mix it up. Why not bring in the change of seasons with a change of venue? New places to play…so very diva of you.
