KGB (bar)

KGB (bar)

"KGB" is a Soviet-era themed bar located in the East Village of New York City at 85 E. 4th Street, New York, NY 10003.

History

In the years since it opened in 1993, KGB has become something of a New York literary institution. Writers hooked up in the publishing world read here with pleasure and without pay to an adoring public over drinks almost every Sunday evening (fiction), Monday evening (poetry), and most Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The crowd loves it. Admission is free, drinks are cheap and strong, and the level of excellence is such that KGB has been named best literary venue in New York City by New York Magazine, the Village Voice, and others.Woychuk, Denis, Founder & President [http://www.kgbbar.com/bar "KGB Bar: A Brief and Distorted History"] , Retrieved on March 30, 2008.]
