Overview

Now that rent control is all but dead and years of epidemic gentrification have polished the NYC landscape into a strange parody of its original grit, bars like the Subway Inn stand out like filthy, little pearls amongst the legions of frat bars slowly envoloping the UES. Those in search of the rarest of Manhattan gems, the authentic dive need look no further.

Outside Reviews

Old, dirty and facing the Bloomingdale's loading dock, Subway is one of New York's best bars.

A monument to sweat and liquor skulking in the shadow of Bloomingdale's.
