replying to u/WelcomeToBrooklandia: I can't really tell whether you want dive bars or neighborhood bars (a proper dive bar isn't gonna have live music), but if you want a dive on the LES, go to Welcome to the Johnsons. Then get ramen at Mr. Taka or Ivan Ramen.

replying to u/Tomatillo-5276: If you're not drinking at any of these places, you're not really day drinking. Spring Lounge. International Bar. Iggy's Keltic Lounge. Jimmy's Corner. Barrows Pub. Doc Holiday's. Rudy's. McSorley's (I wouldn’t necessarily recommend all of those for night drinking though)
