Bar none: This is the finest bar in NYC, and also voted best bar in the world for several years. The first floor is a draft room and the 2nd floor is the parlour with bespoke cocktails. They also have very good pub food and a very good brunch on weekends.

Pros: This is a whole 'nother level of beverages. House-made bitters, bespoke cocktails with a depth you didn't know was possible. It's seriously something special I can't underscore enough.

Cons: This place gets very crowded and draws a lot of tourists. Wait times to get to the parlour can be an hour or more - but it's worth it.
