Welcome to Area 140 First Bar!
It's a fine bar in the East Village of New York City. We have decent and unique cocktails and clean taps. We batch our own Bloody Mary mix and it's darn tasty. We have hard kombucha, seltzers and a variety of non-alcoholic drinks.
Our wall murals and video projections were designed and executed by local artists. Art on the walls is rotated every now and again, and maybe you want to display. Talk to durgy.
If the owner is around ask for the free archeological tour. 140 First Avenue has a rich history and much of it is on display in the floors, ceiling, walls and artifacts, carefully preserved for austerity.
Area 140 First has the only bed of nails on permanent display on the block. The logo is a math puzzle. Our straws are made out of hay. We practice steps of service. Come and enjoy!
Bed of Nails!
On September 30, 2023 circus performers Klown Kong and Alaska performed on the bed of nails. Stay far away unless you have a recent tetanus shot.
Local Artists!
Local artist Sam Diaz created the mural on the back wall. It features iconic elements from at least a half dozen sci-fi universes.
Delicious Drinks!
We made a conscious decision to commit to quality. We have about every common drink element, and some less common ones. Our well drinks are call brands like Espolon, Jim Beam and Bombay. Our professional bartenders are on hand to create the cocktail you desire. We also have less fancy options like shot and beer combos.
The wall on the right of this photo was created by the artist Outersource. We intend to do a long term collaboration with other artists adding elements to this wall over time. If you believe you could blend your artistic style to be part of this collaboration, please reach out.
