Alan Cumming set up shop in the former Eastern Bloc and created something dark, sexy, kinky and wild. Step in and see for yourself....
Eastern European Commie Kitsch
Eastern Bloc is a small bar in the East Village just SW of Tompkins Square Park. This bar is decorated in Eastern European kitsch with red lights <i>partout</i> and 2 small video screens. I was there an hour or two before closing on 5/11/15 and there were 10 people there including the DJ and bartender (who was very nice and is from my hometown of Baltimore.) Plus some animal heads--look for the "goat check" in particular. :) Things seem to quiet down Sun. nights after 2 AM. There was no cover and I paid $8 for a rum and coke. Patrons seemed to be mostly locals and there were no go-go boys, unless you count the drunk patrons. :D I would probably go back at a more popular time.
