Arlene's Grocery

Bar in the front, live music in the back. Arlene's Grocery has kept LES local music on the map with seven weekly nights of music , including live music rock and roll karaoke nights. Always a party.

Had an awsome time in this place, great music by (to me) unknown bands like Random acts of blindness which were actually very good. Vibe in here is second to none!

Karaoke night is a blast whether you're a participant or spectator, and even if your voice isn't as pristine as your fellow karaoke-ers , the band will have you sounding at least somewhat like a star. Read more

Such a funny concept to take a grocery store and turn that into a bar and a live house. Live house part requires $10 cover but is good for all night

It's a wonderfully gritty Lower East Side music venue . I'm always happy when I can catch a show there.

Jump up onstage at Arlene’s Grocery , where you can sing rock hits accompanied by a live band and backup dancers. Look out, Beyoncé . Read more

There are few things more fun than seeing your friend’s band play at Arlene’s. Maybe singing karaoke to said friend’s band on Monday nights is more fun.

Aside from being an awesome bar and rock club , it is also the home of the "Lombardi Case 1975" - one of the best interactive theater experiences in New York City . Go see it!

Best dive bar on the LES. After the rock show, the left side of the bar turns into a fun dance party , perfect place to end your night.

The venue is small but has the best sound set up in venues in NYC. Check out the Lesson every Thursday..a crazy open mic hip hop jam session!!

This is Kevin: the best barman in town . Great service and he gave us some tips about places to go in the neighbourhood. Thanks Kevin!

Fun spot with usually good live music . Sometimes too loud , and frequently overcrowded, but worth visiting to at least check it out.

Great classic NYC dive bar that plays great music . There aren’t many places like this left in manhattan.

Intimate (tiny room) venue, but great sound and great staff . Door security was personable, friendly . Bar staff at street level was cool.

Was amazing last night. Everyone needs to just go and have a drink listen to some great music . The staff great.

Winner of Best Karaoke Night in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Monday nights, perform your favorite rock hits in front of a live band !

Awesome live music spot in LES. A staple in the New York music scene.

Cool venue, nice staff , just not usually crowded , which affects the atmosphere. Generally good music , mixed in w/ pop covers you might want to avoid (maybe that's why the bar is separate).

The acoustics here are actually amazing. Come by for a Sunday night set list and enjoy some good music w/ great bar specials !

One of the best small music venues in New York City .

Be sure to check out THE RYAN CASE 1873, an awesome interactive murder mystery every Saturday at 2.

Great place to see some underground bands!

Rock n roll karaoke on mondays and Fridays! Cheap drinks great people.

The bartender here was VERY rude to me. Was w/friends who were drunk but behaving and tipping well . I hadn't had a single drink and when I ordered a shot he told me "I clearly didn't need it."
