1520

A love letter to hip hop

Lounge bar|Intimate|Cocktails
1520
Hip hop started August 11, 1973
at 1520 Sedgwick Ave in the Bronx,
when DJ Kool Herc and his sister Cindy
threw a back-to-school jam and the block went off.
From that basement vibe, it spread through park ciphers
and block parties, then took over the world.
This venue is a love letter to hip hop, 50+ years deep.
We keep it how it started. Raw beats. Unfiltered. No clean edits.
Yeah, that means some explicit lyrics too.
If that’s not your vibe, then this ain’t your stop.
But if it is – come find us, show love, and respect the house.
