Since 1956, the Parkside Lounge has been hailed as the “Champagne of Dive Bars” on the Lower East side. It’s no surprise why—this old-school juke joint provides live music seven days a week, plus cheap drinks and no high-fructose corn syrup. But the best part? The Parkside Lounge offers an atmosphere that’s 100% tourist free and 94% cool. Step inside and you’ll feel like you’re on an intergalactic pirate ship destined for greatness. This isn’t your average dive bar. It’s an unforgettable experience and one you won’t want to miss.
