[Paul Newman in The Verdict]
A reader shared this video... a fan of 7B/Vazac's posted the clip on Vimeo last December... a montage showing the various TV shows/movies filmed at the bar on Avenue B and East Seventh Street through the years...
... it includes classics such as "The Godfather Part II" ... "The Verdict" ... "Serpico" ... and some crap like "What Happens In Vegas" ... regardless, a perennial shoo-in for Best Supporting Bar.

It's those square windows, you just can't beat them!
Of course, by "square windows" I mean the small panes.
Agree about the windows; there is an odd, shimmery quality about the light, especially on cloudy days. The old Teresa's had it, too.
I loathe this place because the film shoots here require that three blocks be taken up by trucks working for the crew. I hope it gets shut down, but not keeping my fingers crossed.
Bill the libertarian anarchist
This is great! Most I knew, but some I never realized were filmed there. Excellent compilation!
Real cool Bill.
Best bar in town.
Figures a 'libertarian' has to be miserable about it.
Wasn't "Rent" (2005) filmed there as a proxy for Life Cafe?
Rent only shot the outside.
Horseshoe Bar was also featured in Angel Heart.
And its windows during the holidays is merry.

[meant to say make looking at its windows makes one merry.]
better make an appointment with Elissa Jiji.
Carry on.
Doesn't really matter, but wasn't "The Verdict" set in Boston?
Tons of early Law & Order (early, mid 90's) are shot there too.
what's the name of the movie with the transgendered individual?

Come on, thats Crocodile Dundee Mate!
I remember when this place was made up to be Life Cafe, a few short blocks away from Life Cafe!
This is great! I believe the bar scenes in Urbania (2000) were also shot there.
I think it's time for your move to the 'burbs, Bill.
In my grimey days (90s), We would pop in to meet my "guy" and then get high in the bathroom. Now I see it in all these movies... It was always a favorite!
Always had great rarities on the Juke Box.
