Hogs and Heifers

Hogs and Heifers was a bar located in Manhattan's Meatpacking District that displayed motorcycle memorabilia and an extraordinary collection of bras covering its walls and ceiling. The interior mixed industrial style with this unusual decorative element that accumulated over many years of operation.

The bar opened in 1992 under the ownership of Allan Dell and operated for more than two decades in the Meatpacking District. Rising rents in the increasingly gentrified neighborhood made it impossible to continue operating by 2015.

The bar became known for its unusual practice of collecting bras from visitors, who left their contributions as part of the experience. This created a social tradition that made the place feel like a shared, participatory space.

The location in the Meatpacking District was easily accessible and walkable, with the bar serving American food and drinks alongside frequent live music performances. Visitors should know the space was energetic and crowded, especially during evenings.

What made this place truly distinctive was how the bra collection had grown so large that it defined the entire character of the space itself. Visitors came as much to add to this collection as to drink and socialize, making the bar itself the art.
