Peg’s Cavalier is a bar and performance space located in Astoria, Queens. Established in 2018 by Peter & Peggi Loper, it quickly became recognized for its intimate setting and focus on showcasing experimental and independent music, poetry readings, and art installations. The venue intentionally maintains a low-tech aesthetic; eschewing a traditional stage in favor of performances occurring within the existing bar space. It has gained a reputation as a vital hub for the local arts community, particularly for genres like noise music, free improvisation, and avant-garde jazz alongside singer-songwriter performances. The space's capacity is relatively small, fostering close interaction between performers and audience members.
