The East Village Dive Bar You've Seen On Screen
Order a beer and a shot at the horseshoe counter of an Alphabet City dive that keeps turning up on screen.
🍺 Around the horseshoe
The bar wraps into a horseshoe, and drinkers face each other across a long wooden island in the middle of the room. Neon beer signs light the walls, the stools fill early, and the crowd runs from Alphabet City regulars to first-timers who recognize the corner from a film. A beer and a shot is the standard order, and the bartenders pour without much ceremony. The red-brick building at Avenue B and 7th Street has anchored this spot for decades, and the room stays loud and shoulder to shoulder deep into the night.
