The International Bar I knew (see the post from the original International 365 bar crawl by clicking here) and remember closed in 2017 and then moved about a block down the road into another bar I remember, The Coal Yard (see the post from the original Coal Yard 365 bar crawl by clicking here) .
I haven’t been into this newest incarnation of one of the East Village’s best known dive bars and tonight I return to this latest location of The International Bar, which will be our fourth and final New York bar of this tour and the 146th bar of the entire 2026-27, 365 bar tour.

Bar Number 146: The International, Wednesday, June 17, 2026
Here we are at the new spot for the International Bar in the East Village and the former home to the Coal Yard. Let’s go in and check out the latest home for the International Bar.
Here we are inside the new International Bar and I think the round bar is the same one that was used by Coal Yard. Let’s snag a seat and meet our special NYC guest star for the evening.
Okay, we’ve grabbed a couple seats at the bar and there’s our special guest star of the evening…
My friend Edmund A.K.A. “The Duncester!”
We had dinner earlier and walked over here and it’s fabulous to see him again and have a few beers in this latest version of the International Bar.
Love this coaster with the logo on the bar on it.
Here’s the many beers available on tap behind the bar.
There’s the back of the bar with lit-up bottles and signs that hang above the well stocked bar.
Colorful lights hang from the ceiling and there’s a front table overlooking the East Village neighborhood outside of this dark dive bar.
They have a nice vintage CD jukebox in the back opposite the bar.
Here’s a perfect parting picture from our last bar in New York City for this current 365 bars tour!
And it’s out on to First Avenue and then back to Peoria tomorrow!
Thanks to everyone who met me in New York and to all the New York bars for the fun during this mini tour of New York CIty bars.
See you all back in Peoria tomorrow!
