Overview

New York on Tap listed this bar without a review.

History

Yorkville since 1991, for now

Luigi Militello founded Luke's as a place where every guest could relax and be themselves1, and by its own account it has been the heart of Yorkville since 19911. In August 2026 the owners of seven businesses across four buildings on its Upper East Side corner said they were being displaced2, and the local press reported that last call was approaching for Luke's2. For now it's still at 1394 Third Avenue, a neighborhood bar and restaurant taking online orders3.
