121 Fulton Street

The 12 Best Bars In New York's Financial District

Beckett's Bar and Grill

Beckett

48 Stone St.

Located in a building that's been around since 1603, Becketts combines old school style and new school drinking with 2 floors and 24 TVs.

From March to November, Becketts transforms into one of the best outdoor bars in the city by putting out benches and tables right on Stone Street.

The Dead Rabbit

The Dead Rabbit

30 Water St.

Don't let the morbid name fool you. The Dead Rabbit is a very lively establishment with one of the most fully-stocked taprooms in the city.

There's also a classic parlor with 72 "historically-accurate" cocktails, and even a grocery store that sells many oils, spreads, and dry goods.

Fraunces Tavern

Fraunces Tavern

54 Pearl St.

Built in 1719, Fraunces Tavern is one of the oldest bars in the country.

George Washington himself once frequented the iconic tavern, and today it continues to draw in patrons to its Porterhouse Bar with its cool history and large beer selection.

If beer is not your flavor, the tavern's Dingle Whiskey Bar has many fine whiskeys and liquors.

Fresh Salt

Fresh Salt

146 Beekman St.

Located near the old Fulton Fish Market, Fresh Salt derives its name from its seaport neighborhood. "Fresh, Salt, and Smoked Fish" was actually an advertisement on the original building.

The bar serves a creative cocktail selection, pub food, and beer.

The Full Shilling

The Full Shilling

160 Pearl St.

The Full Shilling bills itself as an authentic Irish pub—and it actually is one. The bar itself is 101 years old and was shipped directly from Ireland, and many staff members hail from the Emerald Isle themselves.

Shilling's distance from the New York Stock Exchange has also made it a popular place for after work drinks among many Wall Street types.

The Growler Bites and Brews

The Growler Bites and Brews

55 Stone St.

Located on the famed Stone Street, The Growler Bites and Brews features a wide variety of beers and cocktails.

The bar is busiest on weekends, when people come for the $12 unlimited build-your-own Bloody Mary bar, which takes place between noon and 5pm on weekends.

There is also a cocktail bar called Underdog, which is located underneath the main bar.

The Iron Horse

The Iron Horse

32 Cliff St.

Located just blocks from the South Street Seaport, the Iron Horse is one of the most outrageously fun bars in FiDi.

Big sporting events play on the bar's large projection screen TVs and the crowd is always rowdy.

Mad Dog and Beans

Mad Dog and Beans

83 Pearl St.

Mad Dog and Beans stands out from the competition as one of the only Mexican cantinas in the heart of the Financial District.

It serves the best guacamole and margaritas south of City Hall, and has a fun Western-esque atmosphere.

Stone Street Tavern

Stone Street Tavern

52 Stone St.

With great beer, wine, and cocktails and a low-key vibe, the Stone Street Tavern is a laid-back locale in the middle of the bustling Financial District.

Enjoy a drink outdoors while people-watching on Stone Street or come for brunch.

Ulysses' Folk House

Ulysses

95 Pearl St.

Ulysses' Folk House is not just one of the most well-known bars in New York. It's also one of the best.

The bar has been top-rated for its pints, pub fare, and cocktails, along with its Irish ambiance.

This is the one bar you can't miss in the Financial District.

Vintry Wine and Whiskey

Vintry Wine and Whiskey

57 Stone St.
