New York has 1,918 bars listed, with 1,644 phone numbers and 1,444 websites on file. That leaves a few hundred rooms reachable only by turning up, which is roughly how the category has always worked. Closing times, kitchen hours and whether anyone answers before six are not tracked on these pages.

Four ZIPs carry the weight. 10003 has 58 bars; 10009 has 56; 10002 has 52; 11211 has 48, the first three of them within walking distance of each other. A ZIP filter is the practical way through a list this size when you already know which night you are planning. Rows marked Sponsored are paid placements and carry the label on every one. If you run a bar here, claim the listing and correct the hours or the website it points at.
