New York City Nightlife

This is one of the coolest bars I have found. Only two kinds of beer are served, light and dark. It is unbelievable the history this place contains, and it has the artifacts to prove it. Being the...

Can you imagine that some performances were so good that I forgot to use my camera? I was lucky to see George Coleman playing sax, like God. It was such a great experience! I was hypnotized for an...

Max Gordon founded this much-celebrated jazz club in 1935. Ever since, it's been in the same basement location in the West Village. With a seating capacity of 123, it retains the same intimate...

Nice club with good dance area and friendly stuff. Basically I liked it. I was there on Friday night and it was "Ladies in red dress night". The organizers promised free tickets for Ladies in red...

This nice small venue is a typical pub with live music every night. It’s located in Greenwich Village like many other small venues like this. The stuff were very polite to us and the man at the door...

Ro was in town celebrating her NYC Bithday Bash as usual and we decided to venture to Cielo for her first night in town. The club is small and is surrounded by the bar to one side and the entrance...

I was at SOB's just last night as an invited guest. I was there to do a freelance job for Art of Rhyme which involved doing a video spotlight on one of the artist they had performing that night. We...

After seeing the (pretty awful) film of the same name, I was sure that the Saloon would be the No.1 tourist trap of all time. Unbelievably this my No.1 bar in NYC. At $4 a pint, bottle or short, it's...

This is by far the craziest thing we have ever seen! It's not quite theater, not quite a concert, but somewhere in between. It's indescribable, all we can say is LOOK UP! COMFORTABLE! You are on your...

The Rainbow Room is one of those MUST DO New York experiences. It'll set you back a small fortune but will be a drink you'll remember for the rest of your life. View is half of what you'll see from...

The Pyramid, 1984 night (Fridays 10pm-5am) $7 Cheezy 1980s nights abound everywhere, but this one is bouncy and cheap and consistently fun, so I'm recommending it, especially if you are from out of...

Don't tell mama is a wonderful piano bar where you can drop in for a couple on nightcaps and listen to some incredible performers who also serve the drinks sing all the Broadway show tunes. Go early...

i went there i was staying down town for a talk show iwent around the cornner to bar it sucked i asked weres a good down to earth bar with a abetter prace whyb pay 20$ for abeer when you could pay...

We were having a bad night, my friend's birthday bash at Tortilla Flats, in the West Village, was a bit flat - not exactly a party atmosphere and neither the food nor drinks were great. We decided to...

We were fortunate enough that one of our favourite DJ's, David Morales, was playing here while in New York. After scouting about looking for ways to buy advance tickets (to be sure of getting in), I...

part two of my trump bar tips with more pictures. this is a nice bar/cum lounge located inside the uber luxe Trump Tower in 5th avenue and also uber luxe prices! this will be a two part tip with more...

The Bitter End claims to be New York City's oldest rock club. I will not dispute the claim as it is a fabulous place to see rock bands of the highest quality. Numerous notable celebrities have played...

I could go on forever, but my allround fav club at the time (we're talking 1996 here) was Webster Hall. Yeah yeah, I know it's very touristy and often perceived as 'out', but who cares? It's the...

Built within the shell of a vast stone church, it features a massive stage, video screens, stained glass windows, an outdoor garden, several dancefloors, a DJ booth/party room suspended over the...

The Comedy Cellar if I remember rightly was in Greenwich Village. It was very dark and late. Our tickets were to the late session of the Comedy show. They do at least 2 a night. Our show was about...

A Russian themed, subterranean bar on Lafayette St. Like most trendy places in New York, the discreet branding and KGB headquarters style entrance could be easily missed. Iron curtain themeing...

I new about it already, so many big names had played there in the past (Frank Zappa, Who etc). When I’ve heard that Porcupine Tree will play there we booked the tickets the same day. The day of the...

The Brass Monkey is located in West Village by the Hudson River. It was another of the local pubs we visited during Sunday night after our famous brunch. For Sunday it was rather peaceful and relax,...

It was Saturday night. Your first clue you're in the wrong NYC club is the line. There is zero dress code and everyone wearing anything gets in. I need you to picture this for a second because it was...

I met a guitar player Sept. '05 at a soulfood buffet in Harlem who over lunch told me he plays every week at a club on Bleecker St. in Greenwich Village, Terra Blues. My buddy & old drummer Roger...
