This bar is very big on KCBC beers (canned). They have other options, of course, but have quite a large selection of KCBC specifically. 🍺
The atmosphere is very, 'if you took apart a carnival, and decorated a bar with it' (you'll see what I mean 😏). Not in a bad way, but a unique 'dive bar charm' way.

Such a cool bar! Loads of memorabilia and knick-knacks to look at, reasonably priced drinks, friendly staff and a cool gift shop with fun things to buy. Loved that the beers were super in-keeping with the freak show theme too - all very carnival-esque. We went on the day of the film festival where they were playing films shot on Coney Island incl The Warriors. Didn't stay for any films but loved the concept! Was definitely a bar highlight of the whole trip to NYC. Apparently...
                
            
                                                        
                        
                        
                        
                        
There are so many layers to this spot. It’s delightfully fun and brings the strongest classic show feel of anything in the area.
Don’t miss the museum upstairs! It’s only $5 and has some cool info.
