Bars in New York

Here are images of some bars located in new york. (Top two images) I prefer the bars on the corner of the streets. These look like some interesting bars to model. 

These two images i was focused on the designs of the apartments above the bars. Design of windows and style of bricks etc. 

Bars 1960s 

I thought i would be good to look at bars from different time periods, most interested in bars from the 60s as i like that vintage look. The style of the font of the bar signs and the printing on the walls over bricks. Also, would be cool to have a retro car parked outside!

Apartment Fire Escapes

These are probably the most common styled apartments you will find in downtown Manhattan, New York. The typical fire escapes on the front of apartments, adding these will help give my bar that american style street environment. 

Irish Bars

Irish bars are very popular in New York. Collected a few images just incase i think about making my bar a irish bar perhaps. 

Bar Signs 

Just a few images of different styles of bar signs. 

Looking at these images and studying them has been good research and influence on how i want to model and design my selected environment.
