18 Top NYC Bars for Throwing a Casual Party | Eater NY

"A Southwest-themed, San Antonio Spurs-endorsing bar might seem like an odd fit for Bed-Stuy, but that’s part of Doris’s charm. The white-hued decor provides a soothing backdrop for late-night hangouts, while eclectic DJ playlists range from Steely Dan to old-school hip-hip. Friendly, unpretentious bartenders make affordable cocktails, and the kitchen slings comforting grilled cheeses late into rowdy nights. A backyard and ping-pong table keep things interesting even when the conversation lulls. There are no reservations, but call ahead to block off a table." - Stefanie Tuder
