Suggestions for Live music near Lower East Side, New York

Rishe G. • December 5, 2013One 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.

Andy M. • November 4, 2014One of my favorite music venues in any of the boroughs. Small audience area keeps concerts intimate. Downside is you need to jump on tickets when bigger names come through, but it is well worth.

María Paz D. • October 3, 2014Real, authentic hip hop live music!
