Overview

An anachronism in the newly self-conciously hip LES, Iggy's is a bar where people go to get trashed and have fun.

History

Still an anachronism on Ludlow

In 2010 Time Out found a dim, pint-size, old-world pub, with foamy pints of Guinness, posters of Irish luminaries on the walls and a jukebox that ran to the Clash, the Misfits and Prince¹. In 2014 the Village Voice called it one of the Lower East Side's most redoubtable old dives: rowdy and dim, with creaky arcade games, sticker-plastered bathrooms and extremely strong drinks². We called it an anachronism on a newly self-conscious Lower East Side, and it's still on Ludlow Street³.
