2A Bar is a longtime East Village neighborhood favorite located on Avenue A & E 2nd Street in New York City.
Known for its laid-back dive bar atmosphere, it has been a gathering spot for locals, musicians,
artists, and late-night wanderers for years. 2A Bar has three levels of high-energy nightlife, from a lively ground-floor bar to an upstairs cocktail lounge and dance floor that keeps the party going late.
Conveniently located near the F train at Second Avenue, 2A accepts major credit

making it a true East Village classic.
With its dim lights and friendly bartenders, 2A remains one of the
