Bars around McCarren Park

Soft Spot

Soft Spot is an unassuming, low-lit piano bar that is half hip watering hole, half grandma’s living room, complete with a fringed lampshade. Piano karaoke and jazz bump from the joint almost every night, so you can sing (or sip) Olivia Newton-John on their dainty patio—the namesake beverage includes sugar-free Red Bull, vodka and triple sec. In a city of pricey potables, Soft Spot offers one of the ultimate deals: free booze on your birthday, all night. All you need is ID and a buddy to carry your drunk ass home. Drafts and well drinks are two-for-one every weeknight from 5–8 p.m. and weekends from 2–8 p.m, perfect for getting wet prior to a Wilco set.
