Binghamton, NY is a happening city after dark. Long after the carousels stop turning in the Carousel Capital of the World, there is plenty of fun, food and froth to be enjoyed. What are some of the most popular bars and clubs in Binghamton, NY? Bars can be divided into some major sections: the Center City, the West Side, the South Side, the Eastside, the Northside and the First Ward.

The West Endicott Strip encompasses several bars. Generally, this area refers to all of the establishments on Page Avenue and down to North Street and Main Street. The most popular bars at this location include The New Yorker, a chatty sports bar with karaoke on the weekends, The Old Friar Inn, an older demographic bar, Harry Tuft's Public House, and the Sports Page, a large sports bar with multiple TVs. Four other popular spots in the Strip include Kelly's, Big Daddy O's (with a strong Scottish theme) and Woody's Pub.

Outside of the strip, the most popular locations include the Ale House Vestal Parkway East and the Belmar on Main Street, both of which are near college campuses. This brings a heavy student population. The Pine Lounge on Rotary Avenue gets solid reviews from local residents, as does Uncle Tony’s.

Other popular bars in Binghamton, NY located off the strip include The Lakeview, Flashbacks, Corky's Tavern and Susquehanna Yacht Club, CFJ Pub, The Northern Lights, The Ice House, The Brackney Inn, and MJ's Pub and Golf Center. For some adult entertainment, visit Madame Oar’s on Upper Court Street, Tzer's Gentlemen's Club and Xhibitions, which apparently caters to new students under 21, since it doesn’t serve alcohol.

As you can see, Binghamton nightlife is alive and well. This may be an historical city, but when the light goes off the drinks keep coming!
