Still pouring

Checked October 16, 2026.

Overview

Tiny bar that draws a relaxed neighborhood crowd. Friendly bartenders and low key atmosphere make for a great place for drinks and conversation with friends.

History

Same name, same clientele, same bar

In December 2008 the owners of WXOU Radio Bar turned it over to their manager, Rob Gelardi1. Other than a minor change here or there, nothing was to change: same name, same clientele, same bar1. When we listed it, we called it a tiny bar with a relaxed neighborhood crowd and friendly bartenders, which sounds a lot like the bar the handover was meant to keep. It's still at 558 Hudson Street2, open until 4am every night2.
