This bar captures the true essence of Coney Island—with its kitschy sideshow art decor, vintage arcade games, jukebox and even a Tchotchke Wall filled with little bits of everything. In addition to being perfectly situated for grabbing a drink before or after seeing the Coney Island Circus Sideshow (or a visit to the museum), the Freak Bar itself regularly host musical acts and shows. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to pet the bar’s mascot, Sideshow Cat.
