Bowery Ballroom New York
Besides the unbeatable indie lineup, unobstructed views, great acoustics, and a spacious standing-room setup make this divey music venue a citywide favorite. A downstairs bar means you can drink to your heart’s content while waiting for your preferred musical act to take the stage.

Brooklyn Bowl New York
Rock and roll — literally — at Williamsburg’s new bowling alley/Blue Ribbon restaurant/music venue all in one. While chugging back Brooklyn-brewed beer, take note of this cool detail: The sixteen-lane behemoth is the first LEED certified bowling alley in the world.

Nublu New York
By day, a record label. By night, a laid-back nightclub where anything goes (and usually does). Live music performances and DJ sets happen in the middle of the dance floor. A very energetic, worldly crowd comes to sweat, sing, and sway to the hard drinks.
