New Coventry is an area in Bullworth.
Geography and Information
New Coventry is a run-down, urban poor area bordered by the Blue Skies Industrial Park to the south, and Bullworth Town to the west. During Chapter 2, it is blocked off due to damage to The Underpass. It opens up at the start of Chapter 3, and most of the Chapter 3 missions take place there.
New Coventry resembles a New York City neighbourhood. It has several stores, only a few of which aren't closed down. It also holds a neighborhood that resembles a historic district full of tenements in the northeast, and a run down commercial district in the southwest. There is an industrial area in the southern part, near Blue Skies, and the Blue Skies residents can be found around here.
The Greasers are based in this area. They run wild all over town, yelling at and harassing the residents. Townies are also seen there frequently, although usually individually rather than in groups. Fights between Greasers and Townies are fairly common. You can also see Adults or Greasers taking a leak in the alleys. Greasers also grafitti the walls around New Coventry.
Locations in New Coventry
Blue Balls Pool Hall
- Main Article: Greaser hideout
Blue Balls Pool Hall is a closed pool hall that the Greasers have taken over and turned into a hangout. Jimmy wins it from them in Greaser Challenge. The arcade game Monkey Fling is located there.
BMX Park
A building formerly used as a train station (a sign still reads Bullworth Central Station) that has been converted into a skateboarding and BMX park. One mission, Bait, takes place there. Aside from that, the bike park is a useful place to preform bike tricks with any earned (or stolen) BMX bike. To jump off ramps, the user must simply build up speed, and hold down circle on approch to the ramp. Then, once at the top of the ramp, release the button, and Jimmy will jump quite high into the air. Once in the air, the user may preform flips using the left analog stick. A random greaser can be found riding around at all times of the day.

The Final Cut
- Main Article: The Final Cut
An alternative store that does both haircuts and clothing, run by Betty.
Hung Lo
A Chinese restaurant that has crime scene tape plastered on its doors. True to its theme, it is painted red and has lanterns hanging from the signboard. Its advertising board is a frequent target of vandalism by the Greasers. Behind the board is a firecracker pickup. Similar to many businesses in the games of Rockstar Games, the name is a double entendre.
Junkyard
The place where Jimmy fights Johnny Vincent. It can be found at the southeast corner of New Coventry. There are wrecked cars stacked in a circle around a bare dirt area, and a magnetic crane used to move them. It is reached by taking a path that leads east from the Tenements, although the path cuts back south. The path to the Junkyard is always barred except for the final mission in Chapter 3. It does not appear on the in-game map, although it does on the foldable map that comes with the game.
Tasteful Tattoos
Tasteful Tattoos is a tatoo parlor, next door to The Final Cut. Its stupid and it sucks diiiiiick!!!!!
The Tenements
A massive condemned apartment building in the northeast corner of New Coventry. The Greasers have turned it into a hangout. A mission, The Tenements, and two errands take place there. Miss Abby however, claims residence in the building, as with a few others.
The Underpass
A railroad bridge that runs over the main road, separating Bullworth Town from New Coventry. A number of missions start from here. During one of them, Jimmy spraypaints "Jimmy wuz here" under the bridge. This graffiti remains visible for the rest of the game.
As these are train tracks, New Coventry could be said to be "the wrong side of the tracks" both figuratively and literally.
