About FKA: Formerly Known As
FKA is a love letter to the New York many of us grew up with — the city of the 70s, 80s and 90s, when people went out to meet each other rather than stare at an app, a neighborhood bar could feel like a second home, and a great night didn't need to be complicated or expensive.
The name comes from a simple truth about NY: everything here was once something else. FKA is nostalgic without feeling like a theme bar, polished without being precious, and fun without taking itself too seriously.
The high-low menu has thoughtfully made cocktails, beers, oysters, burgers, hot dogs, Frito pies and nostalgic treats, alongside vintage NYC photographs and memorabilia, arcade games, pinball, music and old-school hospitality.
