Wharf Bar & Grill (CLOSED)

After-work crowds from Midtown East and Murray Hill convene at this bi-level neighborhood joint for happy-hour deals and cheap tipples. The spot features a hefty selection of beers—16 brews on tap—and standard pub fare. Nautical maps and charts decorate the walls, along with flatscreen TVs for game watching. Folks can sip at the two indoor bars, or grab a table on the outdoor deck.
