-
Strip House
13 E 12th St, New York, NY
Guys love steak--combine steak with a cheeky burlesque theme, and this restaurant fits the men to a T-bone. -
Burger Joint
118 W 57th St, New York, NY
There's nothing that ramps testosterone like the conquest of a juicy burger in a hidden midtown spot. -
Fette Sau
354 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Barbecue by the pound and beer by the pint in a former Williamsburg garage--Fred Flintstone would approve. -
Peter Luger Steak House
178 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY
Real men don't eat quiche in Brooklyn; they head all the way to the base of the Brooklyn Bridge and dig right into a world-famous porterhouse instead. -
Flatiron Lounge
37 W 19th St, New York, NY
So you're the type of guy who enjoys some old-school, Rat Pack charm. Have no fear, you can feel just like Cole Porter at this popular gin joint that serves cocktails your dad would be proud to drink. -
Velvet Cigar Lounge
174 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY
Had a hard day at work or just finished a huge meal at Peter Luger's? Fire up a stogie while you nurse a glass of port at this south Williamsburg hang that breathes relaxation. -
Ace Bar
531 E 5th St, New York, NY
Everyone knows that what a boy who grew up in the '80's loves is Skee-ball, pool, and Scooby-Doo cartoons. Good thing this bar has all that and the best jukebox in Alphabet City. -
Lucky Jack's
129 Orchard St, New York, NY
This is the perfect place for the classic no-frills guy: The vibe is familiar, the soundtrack is indie rock and the ballgame is always on. -
Barcade
388 Union Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Nostalgic for the days of youth when you played video games all day and snuck booze into the basement so that your parents wouldn't find out? Feel like you're reliving a 15-year-old's birthday party at this part beer-lover's paradise, part old-school arcade, all Williamsburg hang. -
300 New York
Pier 60/ 23rd Street & West Side Hwy, New York, NY
VIP-style bowling, booze and burgers--the holy trifecta of guyville. -
Union Hall
702 Union St, Brooklyn, NY
Forget the pool table--bocce ball in Brooklyn is the best way for a man to let go of post-work stress. Guys, you can also work up a sweat at the live rock shows. -
Phoenix
447 E 13th St, New York, NY
Don't be afraid of the dungeon-like exterior of the club. Even though the inside is equally dungeon-like, for those looking for a real guys night, a night of boys-only fun, head to this flirty, friendly East Village gay bar.
