Live Music Venues in New York

New York’s nightlife is alluring, and nothing beats spending your evening with a drink in your hand while listening to incredible tunes. Top off any night out in New York with a visit to any of these music venues.

City Winery

Location: 155 Varick Street, between Vandam and Spring Streets, New York, NY 10013

New York’s very own urban winery has more to offer than meets the eye. City Winery makes it own wine, serves locally sourced and regional cuisine, and hosts great local bands and up-and-coming artists.

Rockwood Music Hall

Location: 196 Allen Street, New York, NY 10002

No, it’s not a typo. We didn’t mean “Radio City Music Hall.” This time, we want to talk about an intimate venue in Lower East Side. Rockwood Music Hall has three stages were artists perform original material. There’s a one drink minimum per set, however, the tunes and ambiance are worth the mild strain on your liver.

The Beacon Theatre

Location: 2124 Broadway, between 74th and 75th Streets, New York, NY 10023

Reminiscent of the days of The Great Gatsby, The Beacon Theatre was recently renovated to bring back its 1920s vibe. Performances in this art deco venue include comedy shows, concerts, monologues, and more.

The Manhattan Center

Location: 311 W 34th Street (Between 8th & 9th Avenues), New York, NY 10001

Although The Manhattan Center is located close to Madison Square Garden, it doesn’t pale in comparison to the gigantic venue. It’s divided into two event venues, The Grand and The Hammerstein, the latter being the most popular. Rich acoustics, stunning architecture and a central location make The Manhattan Center a top concert hall in the city.

The Town Hall

Location: 123 43rd Street, between Broadway and 6th Avenue, New York, NY, 10036

Built in 1921 and founded by a group of suffragists, The Town Hall is a national historic landmark with a past as fascinating as the lineup of artists that have performed on its stage. Nowadays, you can come across anything from plays, comedy shows, classical music, jazz, pop and rock.
