Tribeca Rock Club (CLOSED)

There’s only one reason to be here, but it’s a good one: the music. Reggae, punk, blues and college rock are featured on a regular basis, with covers ranging from $8 to $25. The 250-capacity room, which has an unexpectedly rustic feel, is a standard long rectangle with a stage (and spartan bathrooms) in the back. A few steps of risers on one side serve to improve the sight lines, and the affable staff is unafraid to pour a strong drink.
