Luke Cage’s Bar | MCU: Location Scout

Jessica getting out of a cab outside Luke Cage's bar.

I’ve never seen a dive bar this clean.

Jessica spies on a corner bar owned by Luke Cage, ostensibly as an assignment from the husband of the woman Luke is sleeping with. Luke and his bar are a frequent guest on the series.

This was filmed in the 7B Horseshoe Bar, aka Vazacs, located at the southeastern corner of Tompkins Square Park. It may be best known to fans of The Godfather as the bar where Luca Brasi is killed. It also appeared in Serpico and The Verdict.

Additionally, Luke’s apartment happens to be right above the bar, entered using the door labeled 106 Avenue B, next to the Anwar Grocery store. The interiors of Luke’s apartment are presumably filmed on a soundstage.
