Description and history
The bar was established in 2017; one of the co-owners is Frank DiLuzio.[1] In 2017, the bar faced allegations of discrimination by people of color.[2][3]
In their list of "The 16 Best LGBTQ Bars in New York City" for Thrillist, Melissa Kravitz and Kyler Alvord wrote, " In 2017, REBAR opened where the famed G Lounge once stood, aiming to revive the Chelsea scene. It's still relatively new, but a few things are certain: the layout’s sharp, the staff's sizzling, and the vibe's sexiest when the space fills up during weekend dance parties."[4]

gollark: I mean, the basic idea is that the sender and receiver set the same ender chest channel, and send items through that channel.
gollark: It's called EnderMail.
