First up, we have The Dwell. Located at 120 E. 10th St., this hotel lobby bar is open from 5 p.m. to midnight, Wednesday through Sunday. With its mid-century modern flair and whimsical touches, it’s definitely a charming backdrop for a little emotional release. The bar, known as Matilda Midnight, serves up luxurious cocktails and tantalizing small plates. If you’re looking for the ideal drink while you let out some tears, try “The Maiden”. It’s a zesty blend of basil-infused vodka and black pepper rock candy. And hey, don’t miss out on the striking painting of a nude woman over the bar named Matilda—she’s said to represent strength and protection for those in need.

Bitter Alibi

Next on the list is Bitter Alibi, found at 825 Houston St.. Open from 4 p.m. to midnight on weekdays and 10 a.m. to midnight on the weekends, this spot boasts a friendly yet chill atmosphere. Whether you want to sob quietly at the bar or feel a little more private, this place strikes the perfect balance.

This bar features both indoor and outdoor seating, making it flexible for different moods. Picture yourself on an antique couch by the fireplace or in the garden under striped umbrellas—how lovely!
