Max Fish

Return of the Fish! Seemingly chased out of the LES by ever increasing rents, Max Fish returns in its new digs on 120 Orchard Street.

The fish that spawned it all, Max Fish was one of the early Lower East Side revival bars, offering plenty of action, alcohol, excitement, nonsense, and more alcohol to lubricate the neighborhood and get the East Villagers to move south of Houston Street.

Block veteran with the killer juke and cheap, gut-burning drinks, actually has deep history. Beautifully weird and happy mix of successful skater kids, slumming artists, rock types, fiends, our bartender Tino, all swarming weekday nights and making a crazy scene on weekends. Regulars late night in back by the pool game. Watch out for flying bottles...Rank bathrooms, pee at your own risk.

Hip hop and good prices

Two levels, upstairs is hip hop/rap and downstairs was some weird dark experimental when we were there. Prices at the bar are good. Music is just hip hop but everyone is partying, it's a good time.

Pool / Billiards, Billiards: Located between Houston and Stanton Streets, this bridge between the hip East Village and the Lower East Side's hot lounge scene is the favorite watering hole of neighborhood artists and barflies alike. The bar frequently hosts exhibits by local artists and intimates a very bohemian feel. However, on the weekends, the crowd becomes a little more mixed as...
