Phoenix Bar

The Phoenix, originally known as The Bar since 1999, emerged resiliently from the ashes following a destructive fire that engulfed the beloved dive watering hole. Deeply rooted in the East Village, The Phoenix has evolved into a gay institution, embracing change and diversity. Renowned for accolades such as the city’s best jukebox and hosting fashion insiders’ parties, it has seamlessly transitioned from a go-to dive to a must-be-seen destination. Under new management and with a revamped interior, The Phoenix, unyielding through blackouts, hurricanes, and crises, continues to serve its cherished community and neighborhood, offering not only potent drinks but also unwavering support.
