'Esquire' And DINE Team Up For The Best Bar Seats In NYC

Ask almost any food writer where to find the best seat in the house and they'll invariably tell you "at the bar." With close proximity to the bartender (martini, please), often a solid view of what's happening in the kitchen and a high perch, the bar is where it's at. Esquire teamed up with our restaurant discovery app DINE to round up the top spots in New York City to eat at the bar from classy old-school Keens to the funky tiki lounge at Roberta's in Bushwick.

Here's a taste of the list:
The Spotted Pig
Keens
Gramercy Tavern
Roberta's
