Greenwich Treehouse

   46 Greenwich Ave - West Village

This second-story hideaway is creatively partitioned into several different areas: Just off the entrance sits a row of nose-against-the-glass stools and a view of Greenwich Avenue; to the rear, there’s a dance-party-ready lounge area; and tucked away off the main space, you'll find a tiny, bookshelf-lined private chamber, where a handful of escapists at a time can gaze across backyards and bond by candlelight. Show up early on Thursdays and you’ll find beer at vintage prices too — one dollar and up - New York Magazine

One of our many go-to bars!! 



$6 Margarita every night, all night. (except some event nights)


$5 Recession Special every night, all night. (Gin, Beer, Lime Juice)


$4 kamikaze Shots every night, all night.

1st headlining show from the Kids from Queens - Thursday 11/21

Queens, home of Nas, Kool G Rap, A Tribe Called Quest, and countless others, has been uncomfortably quiet for the past couple of years. Up-and-coming collective World’s Fair hopes to revive one of the traditional hip-hop scenes and bring it to its former glory.

Okayplayer Presents: Shouting at the Screen


Back in the days before live-­tweeting, the only way to express your thoughts while watching a movie was to yell them out loud to the delight of your friends, and the disgust of the old people two rows in front of you. 

Join WYATT CENAC (Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”) and DONWILL (Tanya Morgan) as they take you back to the 70′s and guide you through an evening of the most outrageous blaxploitation movie classics. 

Each month, Wyatt and Donwill will screen another fine specimen from yesteryear, egging you on from the peanut gallery as the non-foam Statler and Waldorf. Get there early for cocktails and snacks, and settle in to experience movie-going the old-fashioned and most hilarious way
