Editorial Review for Eastern Bloc – by Joanna Prisco

In Short
The Cold War provides a steamy design template for this East Village spot, hung with kitschy Communist portraits, propaganda, red lights galore, and other remnants of the Iron Curtain. Mix that with the rotating porn played on video screens, random taxidermy (think zebra heads and boars), plus slick bronze poles for go-go dancers, and you've got the nightlife equivalent of a Molotov cocktail.

Insider Tips

Happy Hour

Every night until 10pm, score two-for-one beers and well drinks, as well as $2 cosmos, margaritas and kamikazes.

The Extras

The owners are often manning the bar, so be nice and maybe they'll buy you a round.

User Reviews for Eastern Bloc

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Lackluster drink and bartender ripped me off $10. Reminds me why I had stopped going to gay bars, and regretted having tried this place. There are better and more honest places in New York.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This place has a really cool vibe, it's super small but a fun place to get a drink and watch a go go boy.
