The West End Bar, also known for a time as the "West End Gate", was located on Broadway near 114th Street in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, New York City. From its establishment in 1911, the bar served as a common gathering place for Columbia University students, faculty and administration (its slogan was "Where Columbia Had Its First Beer"). Amongst the Columbia students who used the bar as a meeting place were Beat Generation writers of the 1940s, and later for student activists of the 1960s.
