If Bob Dylan started out here, than that means you should go! Okay, maybe it does not, but still, it is definitely worth checking out this live entertainment venue. It was voted the #1 Friendly Hotspot among bars and lounges in New York City. Upstairs you can play pool, drink until you want no more and socialize with the eclecticism that is the Village. That is just the upstairs. Their downstairs counterpart, The Village Underground, is host to dancing and the occasional live band, and there is no live performance when you go, then you are most likely to hear hip-hop playing on the 1’s and 2’s.

Once upon a time, the acclaimed East Side bar once required membership, but now that no longer exist as a requirement (Although, if you’re interested it will only cost $1000 a year- and of course that comes with perks). As the availability of membership would suggest, Fizz is full of deep-pocketed clientele that are no strangers to the nightlife of the East Side. Plenty of singles flock here looking for the attention of a well-to-do mate, and they rarely have trouble finding them. It is a very friendly place, so feel free to take part in a festive and social environment that is very welcoming to socialites and young professionals.
