If you are playing here with your band, expect to hit the stage a little bit later than scheduled. Virtually no backline. But the sound system is excellent.

Lucy Maria

Saw a killer performance here by Ilandria! The seating is limited and has a 2 drink minimum , but the spot has an overall great vibe.

Geoffroy Bablon

If you sit in the far booth on the couch , you may find yourself stretching your neck a lot to see the left side of the stage. If you're here for a show, beware!

Even if you’re not that into the music , this is one of those classic New York spots where you can practically feel the history inside the room. Read more

@Dayngr

Highly recommend checking it out if you love live music & a bit of rock history. Place is small but worth squeezing into. This is Dylan 's old stomping grounds!

Conrad Greiner-Bechert

Legendary music venue , but if it ain’t for a great show, don’t go. Not very comfortable or cozy and I’m not the biggest fan of their menu either.

Jacob Ford

Strictly enforced 2-drink minimum, but worth it for a wonderful view of artists .

The Wild Honey Pie

Did you know that the venue was previously occupied by a club called Cock & Bull in the late 50s?

Gianna Nebbia

Went to a friend’s show, reasonable priced beers and they didn’t require a drink minimum at the Thursday 9pm show. Not sure when that’s enforced.

Cultivora

Check out the free singer/songwriter sessions on Sundays, and admire glimpses into the past (Dylan ! Gaga!) on the walls of this classic club.

Scoutmob

The Bitter End is not only the oldest rock club in the city , it's also where Bob Dylan got his start. He has five gold albums that were recorded there live.

Nofar Cohen

Live shows every night. Entrance fee÷minimum if you want to sit at a table.. the sound is too loud . Go to see oz noy trio

Stephanie

Beware of the drink minimums for each performance . Definitely a way in which they nickel & dime you.

Tamara D

Fun place to go and see new bands. Fun vibe.

Ben Gasparini

Quite fun when you know the band playing that night (even just a little bit)

İpek A.

Such a nice jazz club . But the staff a bit crazy.

Sara Y

Get in early for a good table.

Mike Horn

This is self explanatory. The Bitter End is one of the most fantastic music hangouts in NYC on one of the best streets in all of NYC too.

alariva

The banda were ver y good and dribla as well , but paying a $5 entrance and later find out a 2 drink min consumption per person and bitchy waitressing service was kinda dissapointing.

American Eagle Outfitters

New York City 's longest running rock club . The perfect place for live music in the city .

Maksim Alipov

Live music is amazing. No Draft beer .

Chris Myers

Great acts, swift table service.

Blake Olmstead

A solidly divey New York staple.

Wesley Verhoeve

This place truly has the worst staff/service. Still coasting on that 60's fame. I'm only here to support a friend.

Imira D

If you enjoy live music this is the place to be and great drinks

TODAY Show

Since 1962, this Greenwich Village famed club has hosted some of the biggest names' earliest shows: Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder, and Joni Mitchell included.

Tina Sammon

Fun spot local entertainment

Live music 7 days a week

Jarel Hill

Yea this place is not that tite. Loved seeing my friends play but the drinks are ridiculously priced and the sound system is real meh.

Xiang Montalvo

Go to the Bitter End and check out Chad Perrone, Todd Martin, or the Who's That ?ack. Get there early for good seats.

lol no

Grab the $5 bowl of Bing Cherries at the bar . Healthy but sassy!

Adrienn Kovacs

Music was good but 10$ cover and 2 ridicously expensive drink per person per show at a table is too much

Peter Feld

Phil Ochs played here!

Had the seared steak salad, and it was great. Just make sure you get it cooked medium rare so your mixed greens don't wilt too much. The basil dressing is delicious! Pairs great with a London Buck! - Jessica Pugliese
