The best bars in New York with a fireplace for cozy gatherings with friends

At this time of year, when we're already eyeing jackets, being able to gather around a fireplace sounds more idyllic than ever. Here is a list of the best bars with a fireplace in New York. It was collected by the publication Time-out.

1. Black Mountain Wine House

Recently, many restaurants have opened, where you can feel like in a cozy private residence. And since 2007, Carroll Gardens in Black Mountain has had just such an atmosphere. In a cozy house, Adirondack chairs are installed outside, and a home fireplace burns inside. There you can taste excellent wines with cheese and cold cuts.

2. Fraunces tavern

Ask for a whiskey at the Fraunces Tavern bar or any of over 500 old-fashioned spirits. The historic site has several stand-alone spaces, including a relatively new upstairs piano bar. Large leather armchairs are like huge hugs, warmed by elixirs and a fireplace.

3. Mace

Mace is one of the best bars in New York and can be recommended all year round. The award-winning bar has moved several times to get to the West Village. And its fireplace is especially inviting when the temperature drops outside.

4. One if by Land, Two if by Sea

Captivatingly beautiful and even enchanting, this bar is lit by candles, spectacular chandeliers and a fireplace. Among other things, the restaurant is romantic enough to warm and kindle the flame of love.

5. Lobby Bar at Bowery Hotel

The bowery's elegant lobby bar is a great place to meet visitors at a beautiful table. Sofas and chairs fill the antique fireplace space that seems to be in need of classic cocktails on chilly winter evenings.

6. Jimmy

Rooftop bars are definitely more associated with summer. But the fireplace at Jimmy on the 18th floor of the ModernHaus is great for keeping the season going all year round. Warm up with city views and seasonal cocktails such as the Spiced Pumpkin Mule.

7. clover club

Leather banquettes and candle tables adorn the front of the Clover Club. Its long, excellent bar is in the middle. And the cozy, wood-paneled space at the back (often used for private parties) has its own fireplace.

8. The Back Room

This speakeasy-style bar is decorated in a Prohibition-era style, with a semi-shaded ground-floor entrance and alcohol-hiding teacups to sip on. And yes, there is a fireplace.

9. McSorley's Old Ale House

Choose this place and gather around the fire in one of the most historic bars in New York. This is one of the oldest bars in New York and is festooned with vintage photos and teeming with local stories.

10. Lobby Bar at Ludlow Hotel

This bar is like your rich aunt's chic Lower East Side apartment, with stylish velvet sofas by the stone fireplace. Treat yourself to warming teas and cocktails.

11. The Flatiron Room

In addition to a fireplace, the Flatiron Room has live music, a full menu of appetizers and entrees, and over 1000 whiskeys. Sip them on their own or in signature cocktails.

12. Art bar

Art Bar has been open for over 30 years and it shows. But its shabby bohemian look makes it even more comfortable to sit by the fireplace in the back room. Selected beer, wine, and soft drinks are $5 during happy hours from 4 pm to 7 pm. There are also four hot cocktails on the menu.

13. Union hall

This cavernous, two-level establishment goes beyond the standard bar with a fireplace and resembles an old-fashioned millionaire's library. Relax on the plush sofa or leather chair and sip hot drinks and Irish coffee.

14. fine & rare

Every detail of Fine & Rare's interior is reminiscent of Old New York, including mid-century Chesterfield sofas, art deco wallpaper and vintage display cases brought from nearby Grand Central Station. Its retro glamor echoes the character of the fireplace.

15. The Flower Shop

On the top floor there is a restaurant with wood paneling on the walls and an aquarium behind the bar. And while someone is having lunch upstairs, you will want to quietly go down to the basement. It’s where the retro cool company is – drinking beer, playing pool and gossip amid vintage photos, floral upholstery and a fireplace.
