Essentially a dressed up neighborhood spot, this adorable beach-themed hideaway in the West Village is about as relaxed and friendly as bars can get. It draws an amiable mix of lesbians, gays and heterosexuals. The staff seems especially proud of their extensive selection of unusual martinis including Chocolate, Raspberry, Caviar and the English Sapphire Martini. Be sure to take notice of the extremely cute cartoon character barstools. Cash only.
