New York on Tap listed this bar without a review.

History

Last call came early on a Wednesday

The All State Café opened in 1968 at 250 West 72nd Street as W. M. Tweeds^{1, 2}. Following the murder of Roseann Quinn, it took a new name¹.

It closed early one Wednesday morning in October 2007, another New York establishment done in by rising rents¹. Thirty-nine years, and the rent still got the last word¹.

By December 2025 the address belonged to the Emerald Inn, which was about to shutter³. Next up is Joe Kidd Cantina, a bar and restaurant, which had its signage up by August 2026 and was set to open in October⁴.
