10 Great Asian-Owned Bars In NYC
"We're into astrology-themed Bushwick bar Mood Ring for the same reason we're into Bushwick and astrology in general. It's useful for when you're dating someone new. Ever since Vanessa Li and Bowen Goh opened the bar in 2017, it’s become an essential neighborhood spot for people who are both ironically and unironically into the current position of the moon to convene in their big purple booths, drink the zodiac cocktail of the month, and dance in the dark laser-filled back room to techno imported from Berlin. Queer, BIPOC, and trans people in particular have made this place thrive so much so that Vanessa and Bowen have been able to open up a second spot, a karaoke bar called Heaven or Las Vegas, nearby." - izzy chen, with warm welcome, neha talreja, bryan kim
