Once upon a time, the Lower East Side was scary and seedy and this brave bar was the lone outpost on a dark and junk-ridden street. Now it's just one of many, but Max still offers cheap beers, rotating local artists, and a dependable array of dewey young things of all persuasions trooping in and out.
Nursing a riotously eclectic scene, Max Fish caters to grungy locals, hipster waifs, yuppie frat kids, and international tourists who’ve all caught wind of this legendary LES staple. Try your hand at some pool or pinball, check out the obscure jukebox music collection, or ogle the ever-changing art collection—Whatever you choose, you won’t feel left out.
