This vegan tapas and cocktail bar is probably the most underrated spot on this list. Not only do they have delicious vegan brunch food but they also offer punch-bowl-sized versions of ANY of their delicious cocktails.

The Garret Cocleteria
349 Broome St, New York, NY 10013, United States
We’d be remiss to not mention some sort of margarita pitcher on this list and The Garret Cocteleria does an exceptionally great one. With a funky, South American-inspired interior, this Mexican cocktail bar offers unique mezcal and tequila drinks that are great for splitting! Try out the Passion Pit made with tequila, Aperol, aquavit, sweet vermouth, passion fruit, and lime.

Tiki Chick
517 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10024, United States
It wouldn’t be a true tiki bar without a punch bowl right? This Upper East Side staple is the perfect tropical escape decked out with jungle wallpaper, lawn chair seating, tiki torches, neon signs, and serving crazy cocktails in ceramic animal heads often set on fire.
