This Revolution-themed bar, the first American spin-off of Dublin’s Porterhouse Brewing Company, lures its worldly crowd with house drafts such as the Oyster Stout ($8) and a selection of international brews, including Victory Prima Pils ($7). Energy is high in the main room, where cowhide-covered booths and glass cases filled with empty beer bottles outfit the old-timey lodge. Patrons can also guzzle grapefruit juleps (vodka, grapefruit juice, grenadine, lime, honey, mint; $12), or sip bourbon (Jefferson’s selection $12) in the neighboring Dingle Whiskey Bar. 4-minute walk
No summer in New York is complete without a trip to Governors Island, the car-free oasis in Upper New York Bay. After a day spent clambering over installations in the Interactive Sculpture Garden, playing a round of minigolf, or just gazing at the views of the harbor and Statue of Liberty, enjoy a nightcap at one of these bars near the ferry terminals at Brooklyn Bridge Park or the Battery Maritime Building.
