Hidden Lane Bar

"Union Square is convenient for just about everyone, so it’s a great spot to meet friends when you all work in different neighborhoods. But outdoor options are very limited, and nobody is interested in standing at sideBAR or Brother Jimmys after spending the last 20 minutes on the subway. Go to Revival. It may look like a lot of other slightly divey bars off Union Square, but it actually has a very nice and kind-of-secret back patio. Push a couple of the small tables together, and take advantage of the good Happy Hour deals until 8pm." - matt tervooren

"The garden at this two-floor bar, which is just steps away from Gramercy Park, looks like a back deck at your friend's summer house. The only thing missing is a lake to jump into. During Happy Hour, cocktails will run you around $13, and you should know they don't serve any food. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"Revival is set up on two floors - the first is essentially a small dive, while the upstairs is like a greenhouse with couches. It’s a good post-work spot for medium-sized groups." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
