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.

The Tank New York
Quirky nonprofit theater space for low-brow comedy, experimental musical theater, dance labs, and film screenings. It’s a little rough around the edges, but at least the beer is cheap.

Joe's Pub New York
There’s a good view from every seat at this intimate concert and dinner theater space. Emerging artists from cabaret, jazz, and indie scenes sweat it out for your pleasure. Fair warning: Slight subway rumblings may interrupt a much-anticipated acoustic set.

Mercury Lounge New York
Super-crowded concert space for truly devoted fans of the newest acts making it in NYC. Squeeze your way to a plastic-cup-contained beverage but down it before elbowing up to the stage. Claustrophobes beware.
