The West Village bar scene has spent decades perfecting the look of a place that doesn't try too hard, which is a lot of effort for a neighborhood where a glass of wine costs as much as dinner used to. The bars here lean heavily on charcuterie boards and artisan crackers, and the cocktail menus are detailed enough to fill a pamphlet, yet "what's gluten-free here" can still get you a long pause. These are the spots that hold up on that front. Start with Jajaja Mexicana for gluten-free fried food, or Leitao for Portuguese. For more, see the full West Village guide, Bars in Greenwich Village, or gluten-free bars across New York.
