Good Behavior
Midtown South-Flatiron-Union Square, New York City
Bar in New York City, United States
Why go
Book Good Behavior when the priority is a scenic NoMad rooftop with a lively, social feel, not a food-led or bartender-led night. Around $40 per person, it is better value for groups, dates with energy, skyline drinks than for quiet conversation or a serious wine-list mission.
About Good Behavior
Good Behavior is a New York City venue with a price signal of $40 per person, smart casual dress, confirmed hours through the week.
The most useful planning detail is the schedule. Good Behavior opens at 5 PM Monday through Saturday, with later 1 AM closes on Friday and Saturday. Sunday starts earlier, from 3 PM to 10 PM. That makes it easier to consider for evening plans, weekend late-night plans, or a Sunday earlier stop, while avoiding any assumption of lunch service.
If a particular menu, reservation type, accessibility need, allergy accommodation, or group arrangement matters, confirm it with the venue before you go.
Book it around confirmed practical details
The confirmed price is $40 per person, which gives a basic planning signal without defining exactly what a visit includes. Use that number as a guide for budgeting, not as a promise of a specific menu, package, or experience.
The dress code is smart casual. That is the clearest style cue available from the data, it is useful for visitors deciding how polished to keep the plan.

Bar context
How Good Behavior compares in New York City
Choose Good Behavior when ease matters more than ceremony. Compared with YOGI by Barnjoo and Libera, it reads as the lower-friction option for a central drinks plan rather than a venue to build the whole night around. That makes it useful for small groups, date-night overflow, or a post-dinner stop when committing to a full restaurant experience feels like too much.
Nubeluz is the clearer cross-shop if the goal is a bigger rooftop-style occasion, while Good Behavior is the more practical pick when booking difficulty and flexibility matter. Bazaar Bar and The Riff Raff Club are better comparisons for readers deciding how much personality they want from the room itself; pick them when the bar choice is the point of the night, pick Good Behavior when the bar needs to fit around the rest of the plan.
For value, the decision is less about a published price tier and more about risk. Good Behavior is the safer low-commitment choice because it does not require treating the evening like a special-occasion booking. If the group wants a guaranteed sense of occasion, cross-shop Nubeluz first; if the group wants an easier Manhattan fallback, Good Behavior is the cleaner play.
