The place

A piece of the old East Village

Ace Bar opened its doors in early 1993, a time when New York City's East Village was characterized by squatter riots, political and social activism, and a rich artistic community.

Ace quickly became a neighborhood hotspot in an area widely considered a center of counterculture in NYC. Throughout the transformations that have since altered the neighborhood, Ace Bar remembers the cultural past of the East Village, and is an unwavering staple of its present and future.
