Best Bars: Alcohol's available in bulk at the commissary, but to sip suds at your own pace, try the hip Muses (8320 Third Avenue) or the chatty Bean Post Pub (7525 Fifth Avenue).

BEST JUKEBOXES,

The Bean Post Pub (745-9413) , located on ,76th Street and Fifth Avenue, is in the perfect hard-drinking location.. It is a block away from a bank, and an ATM, a 24-hour deli and a car service. They also have the coolest cash registers in the borough and an unbelievably cold tap.
There are 25 compilations that are primarily dance-related and you get 15 songs for only $5! There was no real wait to hear the music, until my friends and I came in and we began a trend.
There are literally 10 U2 CD's and plenty of No Doubt, Dave Matthews and Billy Joel. Other highlights are Neil Diamond, Fleetwood Mac (and a separate Stevie Nicks album), Fine Young Cannibals, Madonna, Candlebox and lots of Z100's best.
Anthony the Bartender said if everyone is laughing and dancing "then a song about dying comes on" he will reject it. Please also note that when a game is on, the jukebox is off limits. If you lose money too bad.
Every few weeks, the selection gets changed around a bit, Anthony Said.
