Longtime bar space at 68 2nd Ave. hits the rental market

A for-lease sign now hangs on the front window at 68 Second Ave. at Fourth Street, bringing an official end, for now, to a bar in the corner space. (Thanks to Steven for the photo!)

Last year, the queer-friendly English-style pub Queen Vic from the owners of Boiler Room next door became just Queen ... and more recently, Watering Hole.

Queen Vic opened in September 2010, ending the carousel of bars here, including 2x4, Ambiance and Evolution.

  3. I miss the days when it was just The Bar. Some fond but hazy memories of after hours lock-ins.

  5. Only bar owners need apply in the official "Nightlife District" of NYC. You also get to meet the "Nightlife Mayor" which will justify her $100.000 salary.
