Bronx
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Bronx, New York
The Bronx - birthplace of hip-hop, home to Yankee Stadium, and still home to an old-world Little Italy along Arthur Avenue - has a bar scene to match its range of neighborhoods, with BarFinder tracking 193 venues here, led by classic bars, sports bars, and lounges. The borough's bar history runs deep: the Punch Bowl in Kingsbridge has operated as a neighborhood pub for over a century, after starting out as a German beer hall that reportedly disguised itself as an ice cream parlor during Prohibition. More recently, the Arthur Avenue Retail Market's Bronx Beer Hall has become a modern draw in the heart of Little Italy, while neighborhood lounges like Tranquility Bar & Lounge and Code Red Restaurant & Lounge reflect the community-focused, down-to-earth character locals say defines Bronx nightlife.
