Can you get into pubs in Manhattan at 18?

Question

im probably head to new york in the next while, im 18 so i can drink here now but i don't bother, im wondering can i get into pubs in new york without drinking like just get a coke or whatever..

Answer 1

A pub, as in a restaurant that also serves beer, probably. You can't sit at the bar, however.  

Answer 2

Yes.

And if you want to have something "in your coke", it depends on how old you look---but don't go to any NYC pub/club without friends.

Have a great time in one of my favorite cities!

Answer 3

Yes, into most of them, especially during the day.  Most places that serve food and alcohol will let folks under 21 in, but will probably ask that you sit at a table, not the bar.  Other places, especially those that do not serve food, may check IDs at the door and not let you in.

Answer 4

It all depends on that place. Some places that are more lounge like might let you in however wont serve you drinks obviously orlet you sit at the bar. Some places ID at the door and flat out wont let anyone in under 21.
