Stickers from every punk and underground rock band that ever played this venue plaster the walls, tables and washrooms of this legendary bar. The toilet is mounted like a throne on a raised brick pedestal in a massive private stall. CBGB was the haunt of the 1970s New York punk scene and gradually made the transition to rock. It was a haven of artistic freedom and expression, launching legends like Blondie and the Ramones.
