7B Horseshoe Bar

The storefront where
7B Horseshoe Bar aka Vazacs is located was originally opened in 1935 as a neighborhood catering spot know as Vazac Hall & after transforming into a bar it was known simply as Vazac but in more recent years has also taken one of its three names from the street corner it resides on at the corner of 7th Street and Avenue B & the long horseshoe shaped bar running down its center. 

Musicians and celebrities who have frequented the bar include Iggy Pop and members of the Strokes who both lived nearby. 

Let us know if you have been to this fabulous neighborhood spot which we included in our “Great Bars of New York City” book.
