"The Dead Poet Bar on the Upper West Side is a cozy, literary-themed spot with a great atmosphere. The dark wood, bookish quotes on the walls, and dim lighting create an inviting space perfect for casual drinks. Their cocktail menu, especially the namesake Dead Poet with Jameson and ginger ale, is creative and affordable for Manhattan. Though small and often crowded, especially on weekends, the laid-back vibe and friendly bartenders make it worth a visit. Whether you 're a literary fan or just looking for a great neighborhood bar, The Dead Poet is a gem you 'll want to return to."
