Cibar
The amber lights coupled with the working fireplace shed a warm glow on the elegantly curved bar, Victorian banquettes and marble tables. Try a martini from their extensive list of blends. In fact, try several—maybe by then your eyes will adjust to the hot pink paint job.

Hudson Library Bar
The Hudson Hotel's Library Bar has everything you need to survive the cold: the fireplace, chess and backgammon tables, and a nice set of wintertime liquors (Irish coffee, single-malts, Armagnacs). If you're not one to cuddle all night long, the hotel's celeb-spotting main club is steps away for your Page Six-worthy pleasure.

Keybar
The vibe is a little bit hipster and a little bit Euro, thanks to its location (East Village) and its owners (Swiss and Hungarian). If you come on a crowded night (Happy Hour is all day Mondays), the wood-burning fireplace combined with exposed brick and dim red lighting might have you feeling like you're in an oven.

Kili
It's not hard to see why Kili is often described as an urban ski lodge—in addition to the fireplace, the bar has snowflake-patterned windows, outdoor icicle lights and a relaxing vibe. It's a good thing you aren't actually coming from the slopes—despite the Aspen vibe, no hot drinks are served here.

Couldn't afford a European vacation this year? In addition to its fireplace lounge, this English bar and grill comes complete with British comfort food (think shepherd's pie and fish and chips) and pub-style pints of ale.
