PubKey: Greenwich Village Bitcoin Bar with Spaces for Every Party
Discover PubKey, a unique, self-described "Bitcoin bar" and classic neighborhood staple nestled in the heart of NYC's vibrant Greenwich Village, just steps from Washington Square Park. This popular spot blends the welcoming charm of a cozy dive bar with distinct back room and banquette options perfect for hosting private events and gatherings.
Versatile Spaces for Your Event:
PubKey offers several areas catering to different group sizes and vibes:
The Front Bar or Banquette Area: Experience an authentic NYC dive bar atmosphere in the main front space. Featuring an iconic 1930s ceiling, exposed brick, and a classic checkered floor, it's a lively spot. Within this area, comfortable Banquette Seating can often be reserved for smaller groups (ideal for ~10-20 guests) wanting a dedicated spot while still being part of the main bar's energy.
"The Attic" (Back Room): Need more privacy or space for a larger group? Head to the bright and airy back room, known as The Attic. Featuring four skylights, custom lighting, TVs, and a carpet ready for dancing, this area offers private and semi-private options (likely suitable for groups up to ~50, inquire for details) and can be tailored to your event's needs.
Pub Classics & Custom Options:
Enjoy classic pub fare, including what some call NYC's tastiest burger, alongside other favorites and a full bar selection. For private events held in The Attic or utilizing reserved sections, PubKey offers flexibility with custom food menu options available upon request.
Host Your Village Gathering:
With its various sections, PubKey is an ideal, laid-back setting for:
Birthday Parties
Company Outings & Happy Hours
Bitcoin & Crypto Meet-ups
Sports Viewing Parties (TVs available)
Social Gatherings & Casual Celebrations
Choose PubKey for its unique Bitcoin theme, its authentic Greenwich Village dive bar charm, its flexible event spaces including the private "Attic" back room and reservable banquettes, its great location near Washington Square Park, and customizable food options.

Dave was a fantastic bartender that remembered my name all night long. I loved that guy. The food was delicious. My bacon cheese smash burger was mouth watering. I can't wait to go back and try more of this delicious bar food. And now for the best bar. It's a Bitcoin themed bar. The bar is loaded with Bitcoin memes and paraphernalia like no other. You do not want to sleep on this experience.

Went to attend a Bitcoin related talk on a Thursday night. Wish the bar had more cocktail/mock-tail options, but seems like 90% were men, so can’t expect too much. Nice open space at the back of the bar, they host events almost everyday and sometimes a few events a night. Very convenient location, easy to find, food and drinks are good, everyone’s friendly too!
