This Astor Place venue is a great place to stop in for a concert. It's located in the Public building, which is also home to a niche theater (where Hamilton got it's start). It's intimate but the acoustics are great, and the shows are relatively inexpensive. Unless you come with a big group you'll be seated at a communal table, and the shows have a food and drink minimum. The drinks are good, and the food is tasty but the portions are super small for the price (not surprising for a music venue, but still). Be prepared to rush out at the end of your show, there are performances back to back and they clear the venue pretty quickly.
Joe's Pub is a super cool venue to catch some great live music. The cozy and intimate setting really make for a unique experience. All the seats are communal, so you even may pick up some new friends next time you are there. Keep in mind there is a twelve dollar food or two drink minimum spend per person. The menu offers a great variety of food such as mini lobster rolls, and fried macaroni and cheese for appetizers, or fish and chips, smoked cauliflower cassoulet, and grilled hanger steak for main course. Joe's Pub is truly a one of a kind place for a fantastic night out.
