My best friend and I (23 & 24F) are in NYC for the weekend and trying to go OUT out lol. We’re looking for bars/clubs around SoHo, LES, or nearby with a fun crowd, good energy, and music you can actually sing/dance to think Frank Ocean throwbacks, hip hop/rap, early 2000s, Rihanna, Drake, SZA, etc. Not really looking for EDM or super bottle-service club vibes.

Would love recommendations for places that are fun for girls in their 20s, good for bar hopping, making friends, and actually packed on Friday/Saturday nights. Bonus points if the crowd is social and not too pretentious.
