Mehanata Bulgarian Bar

Allow me to present you Mehanata – a Bulgarian bar located in the Lower East Side, which during the last 23 years earned its reputation as one of the loudest, the most outrageous and plain crazy night clubs in New York

Birthplace of the new gypsy punk wave and the Balkan beats phenomenon, it is the place where the breakthrough act Gogol Bordello was formed as a band and shaped as a style. Front man Eugene Hütz to this day is among the patrons of Mehanata, along with the notorious world music artist Manu Chao. Mehanata is not a celebrity focused place, but being one of Manhattan’s hottest spots in naturally attracts the party goers, so it’s not uncommon to see Elijah Wood, Dave Grohl, Gwen Stefani or even Macaulay Culkin doing shots at the bar.
