The Randolph at Broome

This unassuming, almost understated bar manages to do both artisanal cocktails and high-end coffee with a friendly, make-it-your-own hangout vibe. The style is classic European café, with Old World bric-a-brac lining the shelves, fans grinding away in the corners, and an enormous cabinet containing shakers, swizzle sticks, and other drink-making accoutrements. But there’s no attitude here, and the handmade cocktails make for a potent liquor-delivery system. Coffee service ends at 5 p.m., so you’ll have to arrive early to enjoy individually brewed cups from Little City, Brooklyn Roasting Company, Counter Culture, and more. There are no beers on tap, but the bar’s generous happy hour knocks half of the price off their signature cocktails, which you can also take to the small patio out front.
