432 Thursdays was born out of the idea that we couldn't find a fun but affordable party on Thursday nights. A place that people could go and chill after work with a drink, or a party they could stay at late into the night and dance. Where drinks are cheap and entry is free, but doesn't have that dive bar feel. An after work party with good music, good people, and the occasional special event.

M1-5 is located at 52 Walker St. between Broadway and Church. It is two blocks below Canal St and easily accessible by the N, Q, R, W, 6, A, C, E trains.
