The Boxcar Lounge was established in August 1998 and is a friendly neighborhood hangout for many East Villagers. The perfect place to have a party or gathering of friends, enjoy a comfortable date or pre/post dinner drink. We have a lovely Backyard Garden that is a popular oasis in the heart of the city. For the first five years of our existence we had only a beer & wine license serving the finest beers and wines in the area. We now feature a full liquor license serving the best in spirits as well as the same great beer and wines as before. We feature an excellent Martini and mixed drink menu offering over 50 different Cocktails with many of our signature drinks like our Homemade Sangria, Sake Gimlet and "Japan Cocktail" from our earlier era.

Our Happy Hour is recognized as one of the best in New York. Buy Two For One Per Person (on most items) from 6 until 10 Monday, 4 until 10 Tuesday through Thursday and 4 until 8 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We accept Visa/MasterCard and American Express credit cards.
During the warm weather months from April to October, our garden is a lovely refuge from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan life and a great place to have a drink. As soon as the weather starts to get a bit chilly, our outdoor heaters will allow you to enjoy the crisp spring or autumn air in comfort.
Boxcar is a perfect place for a cozy date or to have a birthday or other type of party. Choose an open bar policy or a cash bar. Contact us with your questions.
During the Cold Weather months, we have regular readings showcasing some of the best young writers in the country including our own series Class of 2006, 2007 & 2008 (curated by novelist Jami Attenberg) featuring writers who have their first books published that year. We also have done successful readings with the literary agency Writer's House and the publishing house Contemporary Press. We are available for readings or any other types of events with any interested writers or groups. If you're interested in doing a reading, please contact us.
