New York City is renowned of its modern cozy speakeasies and, of course, the best dive bars in the world (only you know your fav) but it is also home to some of the most Instagram-worthy establishments you’ll ever see. No need for fancy lighting, an SLR camera or set-dressing, these places speak for themselves. Get ready for your feed to explode, here are the most Instagrammable bars in NYC:
Westlight at the William Vale

Not your average rooftop, this Williamsburg establishment has all the upscale decor and natural lighting you need for that epic insta-shot. It doesnt hurt that this bar is one of the highest scorers when it comes to reviews either.
Le Coucou

You could be forgiven if you thought you’d dropped into a bar in Paris. This SoHo spot is the place for post-dinner drinks, but maybe it’s the desserts as well as the decor that will bring those precious Instagram likes.
