This place reminds me a lot of the NYC nightlife scene during the 1980s and 1990s. Small but high energy (even during the weekdays.) When in doubt for fun in music , you can't go wrong.

usually good/interesting music , definitely not your typical party/bar/club music , eclectic crowd, mostly funk/hip hop/house style people/music, i am aware that's an interesting combo... Read more

You won't hear music like this consistently anywhere else in the city . Graffiti by Army of One (who sadly committed suicide early this year) in the bathroom . They're moving so enjoy this location now.

Alphabet City hot spot Nublu hosts its latest ambitious fest, featuring a typically wild and eclectic roster. Expect an evening of Jazz & Experimental tunes . Wed, 12/10, 9pm, $25. Read more

Wed (Brazilian) night is one of the best nights out in the city ! It's impossible to just stand around to the live bands & dj's ; you will dance , for hours, almost nonstop. My favorite place to samba !

A really fun spot to dance , catch a live show and have a few too many drinks! Just be warned that there’s a cover and that the bathrooms aren’t too nice.

A sweaty dancey ridiculously good time powered by great live music and/or fantastic DJs . This place is both a record label and music venue that is run by Brazilians. I always have a great time there! Read more

Selfie central in front of the projection screen. Plenty of soju behind the bar . Jazz beats grooves front and center. Bring your vibe!

Authentic underground music venue that has spawned a generation of game changing musicians .

Has 9pm set times during the week for artists with day jobs. One of my favorite places to perform and discover new music . -Monica of OurStage band Zigmat

Music is great! Atmosphere is great! Memos is great!

Pumpin' out what made the Lower East Side famous - long after most spaces down there have sold their souls to The Devil!

The High & Mighty Brass Band is the best live band I've seen in a long time. Pure energy & soul.

One of the best Brazilian music bar . Good price for beers .

Very special place marked by blue light bulb. Ilhan Ersahin has the magic touch. Brazilian Girls was born here. Nora Jones, David Byrnes etc. sometimes pop by. Most consistently good music until 4am. Read more

This place is a shitbox and a full-on inconvenience. A not-worth-it cover charge and cash bar ? What decade is this?
