Snag a table upstairs and pretend you're a VIP or grab a drink in the basement to take a break from the noise. Fantastic sound and great sightlines make this a downtown favorite. Read more.
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.
Love the space. Get here early to grab a seat. The two theatre seats in the upstairs balcony are the best seats by far to see everything.
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...
Wonderful staff, great set up. Very intimate environment made the experience all the better!
Love music? You should know this spot.
This is the best place to see music in the city, country, world?
VERY snug tables with bar seats along both the left and right sides of the room. Great sight lines and acoustics.
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.
80s show with fresh kids of belair is a ton of fun with a good group of friends. It's SUPER loud and perfect if you're looking to dance! The dj music after the show is on point as well!
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 gig space. Saw The Motor Thom. Fun night.
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.
Great bar and fun event space. Classic LES venue. Have always had a good time here.
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.
Such a great spot! Dive bar without the unsanitary, need-to-wash-your-hands-after-touching-anything feeling. Pro tip: Frozen Pickleback! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
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.
No cover. Upstairs karaoke is fun. Downstairs it's great to grab a table to or spot at the bar, people are always moving in and out and most people are real friendly.
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.
Great music venue playing Jazz and African/Caribbean/South American music. Very mixed crowd of people from all walks of the world. Once you're here, you're in another (chilled out) galaxy.
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 atmosphere. Highly recommend going to one of its poetry slams.
If you have to wait awhile outside to get in...it is still worth it!
See a Moth StorySLAM
Very good beer and drink list - plus quality sliders and snack-y items for a group
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
Gotta love this place. The floor is at a slant so even in the back the view is good. Great sound and seating in the back if you don't want to enter the fray.
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.

The French Toast and chai lattes are amazing.
Try the double O its delectable!
Food has improved greatly! The French toast is amazing. The chicken zanny is now more moist and the bread is so fresh. A+ on the improvements!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
