Diamond Lil

This Greenpoint bar channels the confidence and style of its eponym, a 1920s femme fatale played by Mae West. Art nouveau inspiration permeates the bar, from the plush velvet booths down to the mosaic-tiled floor. The vibe here, though, is not as pinky raising as it may appear. The painting behind the pink onyx bar depicting a woman reading in a field more accurately reflects the laid-back atmosphere: she won’t mind if you stop in for draft rosé ($5 at happy hour), an elegant cocktail or a beer-and-a-shot.
