Best overallThe Breslin Bar

Finding a bar for a group of 10 or more requires solving a different problem than finding a bar for 2 or 4. The question is not which bar has the best cocktails. The question is which bar has the physical infrastructure to keep 10 people in the same room, talking to each other, with drinks in hand, for 3 hours. We have the answer for New York and London.

Group Bars in New York

New York's best bars for a group of 10 combine physical size with management experience.
