Phoenix Bar

The Phoenix, originally established as The Bar in 1999, rose from from the ashes after a fire devastated the mainstay dive watering hole. The Phoenix has a strong tradition of catering to a diverse and trendy crowd, and has become a gay institution in the east village. Change is a constant in life, and The Phoenix has not shied from its own evolution. Recently under new ownership in 2024, the look may have changed, but the feeling is the same. The Phoenix has never closed its mind after opening its door and never will. With new management, and a renovated interior, the bar has transformed from “go-to dive” to “be seen at destination”.
