Overview

New York on Tap listed this bar without a review.

History

Closed for breakfast, mostly

On a 2018 community board agenda it appeared as Vega Alta Sports Bar Inc., 880 Gerard Avenue, up for a renewal that a committee moved to support with a letter1. It still goes by Vega Alta Sports Bar, and a listing has it open from 11 in the morning until 4 the next morning, at least Monday through Wednesday2. That leaves about seven hours a day for the mop.
