My favorite place to take my girlfriend to see a show in the city. Intimate accessible venue with always great talent. Sierra Nevada is the move here.
Frank Ocean killed the stage here for a small audience on 11/27/2011 during his first NYC performance.
Watch a show from the balcony right next to the soundboard.
Great underground music scene for up and combing bands. Can't beat live music and fun groups.
Unlike other stages at Rockwood, this is a temperature controlled, intimate space. There's a two drink minimum. I wouldn't bother with the wines. Seating is limited. Show up early for scheduled shows.
One of the best spots in the city for live music. Intimate experiences with soon-to-be-famous bands. Great place to stop off for a chilled out vibe on a weeknight.
Stand a few feet from a passionate musician during an intimate concert to really experience music
Terrific intimate space to hear live music. Saw Glen David Andrews here and he melted the place like butter...
perfect sound, mostly free and fantastic wine selection. very classy Read more.
Love music? You should know this spot.
This is the best place to see music in the city, country, world?
This has that vibe of a classic New York dance club. Great place to see a live concert as well. Clean bathrooms but the attendants can be pushy about tipping. Dress in layers...can get hot on floor!
Come here for Gameshow Speakeasy, the best game night in NYC, featuring wisecracking panelists from NYC’s nightlife circuit and a famous mystery guest. Read more.
Great intimate venue. Bands love playing here, you'll love seeing them here. Just grab your drinks on the way in and stake out your place on the floor. It's going to get crowded.
Cults say their Mercury Lounge gig was “the scariest show we’ve ever played, we had been a full band for less than a month.” Fun fact: The Strokes & Yeah Yeah Yeahs cut their teeth here too.
The small stage, energetic crowd and top-notch indie bookings make Mercury Lounge an anomaly in New York, where indie bands regularly play to thousands. Come smell the bands you love! - IFC Staff
Attended and hosted many events here - Love their event space in the back! The skeeball and video games are a great touch. Good prices too.
You deserve a Bailout Package. Go let the bartender give you some financial aid.
Get a St. Charles with BULLDOG. They make their own pickle brine.
A cool, laid back venue. Low-key and intimate atmosphere.
great small venue (bar) to see a show. great vibe...nothing snooty here. drinks are on the cheap side. great bands.
Epic live band karaoke Monday nights at 10pm. Bring your inner Axl Rose.
Fun place to catch a live show or just dance the night away
Pianos usually runs late with their set times. That’s OK, ‘cause the food menu’s great: surprisingly good nachos with chickpeas. Read more.
In addition to fresh new music coming out of the main room, Piano's often has more stripped-down acts perform upstairs. Also, the burgers are pretty darn good.
Love this performance space for world music. Good drinks, good people. Everyting is irie!
Nice addition to Harlem's music venues. Shrine has a eclectic live band music vibe with a rustic artsy decor. Visit www.WeHarlem.com. Download WeHarlem iPhone/Android App 4 FREE
Music is Great !
Great outdoor seating for people watching while you enjoy a cocktail and some appetizers.
Check out Sean and Jeff on Tuesdays!
Steak nacho's are so good with a glass of Stella... Live bands are really good I'll be back soon
Fun venue for concerts! Old movie-style seats in the back for those who want to enjoy the music in a less sweaty/crowded way.
Medium size. Clean bathrooms. Decent acoustics. Stand and rock out or go to back for stadium style seating. Basement bar has more secluded lounge area, w/TVs & speakers so you don't miss anything.
Did you use your MasterCard to purchase your New Yorker Festival tickets? Don't forget to claim your complimentary beverage.
One of my all time favorite spots. Can't leave NYC without seeing a Friday night poetry slam. Get there early (9:15ish) to wait in line if you want a seat!!
If you have to wait awhile outside to get in...it is still worth it!

The OG of NYC tiki bars. Order whatever looks good, you can't go wrong. Bonus points for getting to take the mug home with you (if you want).
Go to Otto's Shrunken head for Rebel Night. One of the best 1950s sock hop style dance party in the city.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
