Help Us Market and Revive Our Bar

Hello potential donors! Area Bar is a great space, but we need people to be able to find it easily. The funds raised by this gofundme outreach will go mostly to advertising, marketing and to upgrade our infrastructure. Also to pay some artists to bring their art in here.

Incentives? We have incentives!

>$50 a shot

$50 level - A T-shirt and a shot

$100 level - a T-shirt, a shot and an invitation to our patron appreciation party on 12/7/25

$1000 and + level - all of the above, plus a $100 tab, our undying love, membership in the 800 club (lifetime discounts) and an archeological tour of the bar by the proprietor at your convenience

This bar is bringing back local artists for murals and wall art. There is pinball. We have sports or sci-fi on the TV.

We have a decent backline to have bands show up and plug in. The East Village - once a bastion for musical exploration - is almost a live music desert. We want to bring out more punk, more exploratory music and get the EV back to its roots. Heck, those roots were set less than 50 years ago. We need a place to keep the EV weird. We are committed to that.

You will never be forgotten. If you can, please help.
