Williamsburg-Nightlife is pretty much everywhere, concentrated around the first 3 stops into Brooklyn on the L(Bedford, Lorimer, and Graham). Also, concentrated around the Marcy Ave stop on the J/M/Z line. Hipster/Artist scene that's increasingly become more "preppy-like", aka Murray Hill. Pricing varies, cheaper as you go east towards Bushwick. Actual streets with a high concentration of bars: Bedford, Berry, 6th Street, Union, Graham Ave, and a few others.

Greenpoint-Manhattan Ave and Franklin Ave-Laid back Hipster scene, some remnants of blue collar bars. Relatively cheap bars. Basically a more laid-back extension of Williamsburg.

LIC-Not much, a few bars around Vernon blvd and a rooftop bar called 808 at Revel. Best party place is the warm-up at PS-1 Moma but it's only Saturdays from the 4th of July through Labor Day.

Astoria-concentrated around Broadway ave, 30th ave, and Steinway street.
All have a big international flavor(Greek, Latin, Middle-Eastern,Albanian,etc) with Hipster/yuppie bars mixed in. Lots of high-end nice lounges and outdoor seating. Some of the sports bars are your so-called "native" New Yorkers, Long Island Crowd. Steinway has a few Egyptian/Lebanese bars(Hookah) but not as many as before.

Thanks, very useful information. Any favorite establishments?

Any information on Uptown nightlife anyone? Harlem/WaHi/BX? Dyckman Street near Broadway has become an impressive nightlife corridor to those who do not know.

I don't really care for strip clubs but the best ones I've gone to where in Philly. You could bring your own booze and the women were a lot more accommodating than the NYC strippers. I remember a group of guys brought in keg and were just chillin like there were at a keg party. You don't see that kind of stuff at a NYC strip joint.
