Housed in a lovely Beaux Arts building that dates this music venue was built just before the Stock Market Crash of 1929. Today it brings top acts while also maintaining its edgy attitude. What's more, the classic swankiness of the brass handrails and mahogany walls is a nice complement to more modern elements like, say, the state-of-the-art sound system. Featured performers have included Patti Smith, Sean Lennon, Coldplay, Metallica and White Stripes. The club is also the namesake of Joan Baez's Bowery Songs album recorded live here. The box office accepts cash only.

New York Local Expert
- Live Music: "Take a seat in the spacious downstairs lounge to relax and socialize between or during sets."
- Best for Live Music Because: Probably the best venue in the city for seeing indie bands, and the Bowery courts a diverse range of artists from home and abroad.
