"Before Pubkey moved in, the basement had most recently been home to a pub called Formerly Crow’s, a neighborhood spot that set out to create a safe zone away from the area’s “fancy-like cocktail bars and frat boy hellholes.” The location had long hosted various dives popular with NYU students and local rabble-rousers over the last hundred years; Pacchia purchased the space from owner Marshall Mintz when Mintz was ready to hand the bar over." - Luke Fortney
