Dark Streets & Straight To Hell - "Pogues vs Clash"

Before

0.4 mi · 9 min walk - Lower East Side

Down a staircase off Chrystie Street into a low, dark bar that has been going since 2006, with taxidermy on the walls above cheap drinks. DJs and live sets start around ten on weekend nights. It is sixty seconds from the Bowery Ballroom door.

After

0.1 mi · 2 min walk - East Village

A plain corner bar at Avenue A and 2nd, open since 1985 in a building that went up in the late 1860s as the Teutonia Savings Bank. The ground-floor windows run nearly the full height of the wall. Upstairs is a lounge called Old Flings. Berlin, the music venue, is the basement of the same building.
