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.

Hugs New York
Late-night spot where a young crowd with asymmetrical haircuts dances to electro-pop and indie bands while sipping local beers (if their budgets allow). The long, tunnel-like space has a stage at the back and games like Skee-Ball in the front.

Winnie's New York
Sing karaoke hits with your divey cohorts, sloppy on the mysterious Hawaiian Punch (a.k.a. liquid courage), which has far too many kinds of liquor in it to count.

Frying Pan New York
Get your sea legs on this 1929 lightship docked on Hudson. The decor, food (standard burgers), and beers and nothing fancy, but the place can turn into quite a party when DJs rock boat on summer nights.

The Gutter New York
My, how divey this place is! The better to keep things raucous, my dear. Seventies-era basement furniture outfits a few wooden lanes where hipster pals share pitchers and try to keep cool while launching bowling balls deep into the night.

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.
