Filthy Diamond opened on March 23, 2023, and has grown into a neighborhood-focused bar on Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick. The Black woman–owned space emphasizes connection over spectacle by avoiding dominating televisions and prioritizing conversation, music, and shared experiences. The bar features a community-donated vinyl record collection, all-vinyl DJs, and live music programming three to four nights a week, spotlighting local artists. Food offerings are expanding through a partnership with Flatbush Oyster Co., offering charcoal-jerk oysters sourced from family-run Long Island fisheries and served day-of-harvest. The owner has lived in Bushwick nearly a decade and centers the bar’s mission on local resident needs.
