Ethyl's alcohol & food is AN UPPER EAST SIDE BAR & PERFORMANCE SPACE THAT RATTLES THE BONES OF OLD NEW YORK.
FUNKY SEVENTIES INSPIRED HAUNT WITH GREAT FOOD & BOOZE, AND the coolest DJ CURATED SOUNDTRACKS.
Ethyl’s began as a love letter to the New York City of the 1970s. A time and place where native New Yorkers Charlie Sub and Gerard Renny came of age.
Charlie recalls stories of his father’s legendary rock club, The Coventry. This is the club that helped launch some of New York’s most iconic bands of the decade - Kiss, The New York Dolls, and The Ramones, just to name a few.
Gerard's nightlife journey began back in 1977 at the age of 18 when he was thrust into the decadence and celebrity of the infamous ‘Disco di tutti Disco’, Studio 54!
The Plan: Build a bar that could bring those classic memories back to life. This would require a crew of like-minded New Yorkers that could help recapture the flavor of old New York.
To help sharpen out those rough edges, enter chef, designer, and consultant Paul Gerard. Together the crew curated the soundtrack that could swing the scene back to the 1970's… and from there Ethyl's was born!
The Upper East Side may sound like an unlikely place to open a Sexy Late-Night Bar in a city scene that suspects anything cool can only happen downtown, or now in Brooklyn. The tired dictum that "I don't go above 14th Street" declared by so many, has always been around. But guess what? They came uptown.
The cool ones did. The artists, the designers, the musicians, and the writers all did! Anyone that wanted to see or be seen on “The Scene” that was, and is, this island of Manhattan. They all did!
They went to Elaine's, Max's Kansas City, Maxwell’s Plum, The Hippopotamus, The Peppermint Lounge, The Copa, El Morocco, The Gaslight Club, The Playboy Club, Xenon, Jilly’s, Cafe Central, and of course, they all tried to get into Studio 54.
Ethyl’s was built for those New Yorkers who know this city and want to be surrounded by the spirits of their heroes and the memories of a scene that should never be forgotten!!!
