Greenpoint's Ponyboy at 632 Manhattan Ave. has closed after operating since 2018. Owner Christopher Reyes said a business partner pursued new projects, leaving Reyes solely responsible; running the bar alone proved more challenging than expected and prompted closure. The bar's last listed event occurred in July, an "Indie Sleaze" party with Loghaus and tracks by Cut Copy, MSTRKRFT, Justice, Uffie, Empire of the Sun, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand and The White Stripes. Ponyboy had taken over the former Manhattan Inn and combined elements of a cocktail bar, discothèque, and live music hall. The closure follows other recent Brooklyn nightlife losses.
Greenpoint's Ponyboy, located at 632 Manhattan Ave. between Nassau and Norman Avenues, has closed its doors, marking the end of its vibrant run of live performances, DJ sets, and community events. The closure-first reported by local outlet Greenpointers -came after owner Christopher Reyes said his business partner chose to pursue new projects, leaving Reyes solely in charge of Ponyboy. Reyes told the outlet that running the bar alone proved more challenging than expected, ultimately leading to the difficult decision to close.
The bar's last listed event took place in July, featuring an "Indie Sleaze" party with Loghaus spinning tracks by Cut Copy, MSTRKRFT, Justice, Uffie, Empire of the Sun, and indie rock staples like The Killers, Franz Ferdinand and The White Stripes. Ponyboy opened in Brooklyn in 2018, taking over the former Manhattan Inn-a beloved piano bar that closed in 2016. The venue blended elements of a cocktail bar, discothèque, and live music hall, creating a popular nightlife experience in Greenpoint.
