Belle Reve, New York

Belle Reve marries a dive-bar atmosphere with elevated American pub fare. For example, chefs put a unique spin on the BLT by substituting bacon with crispy pork belly and slathering ciabatta bread with a creamy homemade remoulade.

Of course, they dole out bar classics like chicken wings and juicy burgers too—only they're served alongside freshly shucked oysters and bone-marrow fries. The eatery's bartenders craft cocktails that demand the same attention to detail, with specialties such as The Pirate's Wife—aged rum shaken with pumpkin spice, sweet vermouth, and black-walnut bitters.
