WXOU Bar • 1994

WXOU Radio Bar is a West Village dive bar that opened in 1994 with the goal of creating a cool, unpretentious space featuring good bartenders, affordable prices, and a kickass jukebox in a friendly environment. The cash-only establishment is known for its college radio theme, retro decor with an antique neon wall clock and Elvis bust, and its legendary happy hour that has made it a neighborhood favorite for over three decades. The bar features dad rock on the jukebox, well-priced drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere that attracts both regulars and newcomers looking for an authentic New York bar experience.
