Old Town Bar
New York, New York
There are plenty of old buildings in NYC, but few businesses have kept their same character on the inside as the Old Town Bar. This simple, old-school bar first opened in 1891, and is nearly the same now as it was then — only we imagine the drinks are a little pricer now. It managed to survive Prohibition by operating as a speakeasy, and also boasts dumbwaiters that are the city's oldest active food conveyors. Come for the ambiance, stay for the drinks.
