Standing room area is a complete joke. We had to go to the back bar area and stand behind a rope with an incredibly limited amount of space. I dont recommend coming here if there arent table tickets available. Its my first time here, and certainly my last. Standing room tickets are not worth it here. Ive been in standing room areas in other venues; this place has it the worst.
Any place del amitri play automatically gets five stars
Decent space, on the smaller side. Drinks are SUPPER PRICY even for a NYC club. Every time I iIve here I spent $100+ other clubs I average around $60-$70 mind you this is for beers only. And if it’s busy good luck getting a drink.If your not here to drink it’s a good time but if your trying to party hard, maybe do it somewhere else.
Awesome venue, small enough where no matter where you are in the room you’re still close to the stage and can see the stage well. also they don’t charge you for water which is awesome at a concert :)
If an artist you like is playing here, do not miss that show. Great venue that hosts tons of cool events.
Cant speak 4 other events there but the #LOVEISLOVE Choreographers Showcase and Carnival Choreographers Ball are ALWAYS GREAT to attend. Dancers of all different backgrounds and styles all in one place to celebrate their love for the performing arts.
Small venue with some table seating in the back and standing in the orchestra area. Good sound and reasonable drink prices. They serve food too but I have never eaten there. They dont have a coat check which is annoying if you go there in cold weather and dont have a seat. It gets hot during the show and you have to hold your coat the whole show.* I received a reply saying that they do have a coat check but when I was there on 11/18/19 I asked two different employees and both said there wasnt one.
Totally intimate the band/act is right there with you, like thr good ol days. And none of that ticketmaster BS. Great acts, $24 for a show, and its got some of that vibe of what the city used to feel like before Disney took over times Square all those years ago that started the gentrification and tear down of some of the classics, Pyramid, Continental, A7, Ward 6, etc. The gritty that some of us love and miss, youll find the transport unit thru the front doors.
One of the best live music event spaces in NYC. They always have interesting shows coming up. I almost picked shows randomly and I was pleasantly surprised.
⚠️🚨🚨⚠️ I came here many times before. However on this particular occasion (4/20/22) I was barred from entering because this venue is still mandating TOTALITARIAN measures when it comes to proof of vaccination.The mandate was lifted weeks ago by the mayor. I explained this to the gentleman who checks identifications. I asked to speak to whoever is in charge of either A) letting me in or B) a refund for my ticket.The person who is supposedly in charge of the establishment goes by the name of Ruben. Ruben showed no compassion whatsoever while telling me some stupidity about tickets purchased before the mandate was lifted still require vaccination. Now tell me how stupid and non sensical that sounds. LPR is retroactively placing mandates in place. Due to these draconian rules LPR seem to be making up on their own, I was not allowed to enter and I lost the value of my ticket.I therefore was robbed and disrespected as a customer. Its shameful and scummy behavior on behalf of LPR ⚠️🚨🚨⚠️UPDATE: LPR decided to respond to my review, negatively and mockingly of course. Further justifying thier made up rules of retroactively requiring vaccinations and labeling it unique. Whether it was posted or not is not the issue. The fact that this establishment sees fit to place such restrictions is unjustly, considering mandates are no longer in force. Further more, to not issue a refund and pocket a customers money is an immoral low move. Theyd rather burn bridges and good will with a customer than remedy the situation. Telling from other negative reviews, LPR has piss poor management and diplomacy skills.⚠️🚨🚨⚠️
Absolutely fantastic drinks were served fast and right prices good too for NYC.music and customer service was on point cant wait to return.
Went for a 2010’s event show, had a blast. Intimate space with great bartenders.
Came here to see Das Mortal, Dance With The Dead, and Magic Sword; absolutely astounding experience for my first synthwave concertEXCEPT for the guy who accussed me of stealing as I bought a shirt for accidentally grabbing a few pins that I thought were complimentary. Rather than observing the situation for what it was, the gentleman proceeded to put his hands on me in an attempt to escort me out.I can understand to be his position, but to be villainized in my first live synthwave experience is less than desirable. He claims his name was Josh and that he was the tour manager working for the band and didnt give me anywhere to report to, instead asking security to escort me outside.I will be doing everything in my power to report this man to the proper authorities.
Always a good time at LPR. Between the stage setup and the bands they book, its incredible every time!
Friendly and good acoustics, wonderful jazz. We went for Winter Jazz Fest, and heard Kevin Eubanks and Artemis, among others. The food is good, but the seating was cramped. Be sure to go with friends!
Went to a Greg Laswell October 1. and it was amazing. The service is fast and the atmosphere is really awesome. There is a table minimum of 2 items pr. person and you can only pay by credit card. A gratuity of 20% + tax 8.75 is added to all checks. Cocktails $15 / beer $7/8 (+tip and tax).
First time been there. And it was excellent. I have my wife on a wheelchair and everyone was really nice.
Jessie’s Girl - Friday nights 80’s revival is simply the BEST 80’s night I’ve ever been to. If you’re a fan you MUST go. We were really blown away by the 3 singers and the band. Amazing set list and the crowd loved every moment of it. If you’re visiting NYC do add it to your list. Worth the late night!
Great place, great parties, great staff, they are doing there thing. Many different parties are had in this place, check out the shows
Updated review: Came to LPR once again to see Echosmith, Weathers and Jayden Bartels on 2/13/20. Great venue and staff as always. Good prices on drinks too. Will definitely be coming back soon!Original review: Very nice little venue. Went to see Astrid S on 9/17. Be prepared to buy at least two items in the showroom, theyre reasonably priced. I felt a little unsafe since they didnt check bags, I asked them if bag checks were necessary and they said no. Other than that it was a pretty venue.
Good location but Strange because separate people take your ticket but dont work there. Plenty of seating but the employee would let anyone sit in a totally accessible area. People need a break on their feet at a concert. Why couldnt we lounge?
Recently saw a Jazz show (Julian Lage) here and coming out of(?) a panorama, I forgot what its like to be at a packed show. If the stage were a bit higher, this would be a better experience for the standing crowd. Otherwise, not a bad venue, just not a large one.
I came here before and enjoyed the venue. This time was for the Art Battle. I was mesmerized by the atmosphere, cool crowd and artists grooving to the hip hop sounds. Everything was perfect in my opinion.
Fairly small venue for concerts in a basement on Bleeker St.The sound in this place is pretty good. Great place to see some talented bands in a fairly intimate setting. This location is bigger than the original, even if its larger.The place also has a decent bar with a polite staff.
Lovely intimate show venue. The tables are beautiful & the drinks are delicious. The show I attended had a two drink minimum which is easy to accumulate. The staff were very helpful with me and my walker. The accoustics arent amazing but it doesnt matter if the artist is playing a low key show. The one I saw had only a piano and it was the perfect venue for it. Though it is inside & vaccination cards were necessary.
Bouncers outside are incredibly rude and aggressive! When concerns were raised to the manager he did nothing but dismiss the complaint and encourage the bouncer’s behavior. Extremely disappointed by this treatment and wouldn’t want for anyone else to experience this. Do better!
Fantastic location with a great selection of food, drinks and eatery to go to. Great customer service and prices. The area also has a outdoor area to sit and eat. Also the mall has seating so you can eat indoors. Most of the food stations close around 8 pm so if your planning to visit, be sure to get there early. Also most of the food stations serve the food at a fast time as well. Again a great place to visit!
The 80s Show was a total surprise and an Excellent time! I think every genre of music was covered, including The Cure (our favorite part). Steer clear of the 18 bachelorette parties going on at the same time and guys who cant handle their liquor and you will have a blast.
Great space for an intimate concert. The staff is attentive and caring. A real old school vibe.
Linda’s bingo night was 10 star but the venue was not a 5 star. Bathrooms were awful. Expected of a club but the place was not kept clean. Food was terrible. Cocktails were pretty good. So be sure to eat before coming here!
Attended the Felix Hernandez Rhythm Revue Dance Party . Its always an event as he mixes great music from our past .
Perfection! Festive celebration of the flamenco. Passion!
I felt at home and safe and the sound was good. Loves all the acts i saw.
Great ambiance in the city, NOHO!
Been to a bunch of 90s night live band here. $25 dollar cover and expensive drinks but the band is a GREAT cover band and usually really good energy
Great venue great party I would definitely come again for another event
I go there first Friday of every month for the freedom party which be lit more people should need to come
Went to see Princess goes to the Butterfly Museum with Michael C Hall.great show.
Omg, ..best concert ever..The Amity Affliction!! 🤘🤘
Based on my experience I would give 3 stars but I can see how I could rate it higher an a different night. I went to a sold out show and it was very crowded with poor sight lines. This made it harder to enjoy the jazz musicians playing. Sound and ambience was good. Serving drinks in plastic cups is also kind of lame. Ill probably go again.
I was there at the DrakhaBrakha concert. Not the best location for that event, the bar was too loud.
If you want to send it in a dark basement with great beats, do it here. Drinks are fine and make sure your pour some out for the goldies. RIP fish, another causality to covid.
Great entertainment space. Good Layout, good dance area, good staff. Great performers.
We came here for music industry mixer . The layout was not what I expected . Had a great time and decent camaraderie that night.
A small venue in the basement of the building, LPR contains two bars and an elevated stage. I saw Wild Rivers perform on stage here and I had a good time. Id definitely go here to see more live music, depending on whos playing.
Really good venue. I saw Julian Lage here and the sound was just fantastic. The audience was also amazing and it felt like seeing Beyonce :)
Saw a couple NYHC bands here! Was a great location. The drinks could have been a buck or two less but it is Manhattan. We were stage diving and moshing. Good vibes!
Great spot, came for the Colombian Festival. DJ was great, drinks were good(a little on the high side) can get quite hot. Wish the A/C worked a little bit better.Def reccomend if you want to have a fun night, tonight was amazing.
We came for Drag Queen bingo and had a great time. $10 for a set of cards. There were silly prizes and and fabulous hostess.I had a delicious salad but be aware there is a two item order minimum. Cocktails were not cheap $15 but my cousin loved her spicy Margarita!
Great food and excellent service. Great music acts when I visited. (Adam Neely’s Jazz School, NYChillharmonic, Aberdeen)
A great alternative Village music hall that offers the offbeat and unusual yet always funky and fun.
Venue is great! Gets super busy and drinks take a little while but still a good times. Dj on the night I went was something to be desired. It was an early 2000s pop punk night and they kept cutting cult classic songs to play lesser known ones.
Nice, small venue with friendly staff.
I dont know if it was the place or Sondre or a combination of both. Whatever it was, to me it was an all around magical experience.
Went here for art battle, really cool place! Much larger interior than I expected, good sound system, all in all a good place to see a show.
Great music, 90s night is always a blast
We love this classic New York City music venue.
Overall a really cool venue. Went there to go see the Naked and Famous. Drinks were at an above average price but the staff was very professional.
Great intimate venue. Well managed, great variety of acts.
I took my boyfriend here for a party, he had the best time ever.
Great venue! I was at the back by the mixing station and its still the closest Ive ever been to Peter Murphy
Reasonable price for a SoHo spot and the stage is so close to you. Great spot 👌
Came to see the Cruel Intentions show, which was great. The two item minimum per person was a little obnoxious since I’d just eaten, but I certainly understand the need to make profit in the space. My cider was great but the tater tots I ordered were a little stale and not particularly warm or flavorful.
Great venue. Checked out Bigflo and Oli here. Good sound system and great atmosphere.
The birthday massacre killed it venue pretty nice security cool
Amazing intimate venue to see favorite bands
Great venue. The Art Battle was cheap and very fun.
Great venue to watch live performances. We were sitting in seats farthest away from the stage on the main floor and we still felt very close and intimate with the performers. The bartenders make excellent cocktails! Theres room to dance in the back if you were so inclined. Im definitely coming back to see other shows.
Besides being a fun music venue, I lost my phone, ID, and jacket here and the incredible employee Frank found them and gave me back all 3. I feel god in this bar tonight.
Very small but cozy place, went for a Kpop concert/party event and everything went well :)))
The former home of the historic Village Gate Theater, where the likes of Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin once graced the stage, this subterranean venue generally features very good sound. Seated shows tend to suffer from the typical jazz seating arrangement, i.e. patrons are crammed into place and may have to contort their head in strange angles to see the stage. General Admission shows tend to be a nicer experience, although sold out shows can be jam-packed. The VIP section is tucked into a back corner on a platform. The bar offers a decent selection of cocktails and has solid food. Be forewarned that your phone will likely have minimal service this far underground.
Went last Saturday with DH and friends...and ooh we had a blast! Jessies Girl and Party Rock bands performed our favorite songs. We danced through the night on floor and stage! :D We could tell everybody was there with the same intent: enjoy each others company and the bands. Crowd was enthusiastic and mostly in their 30s/40s. Musicians are very charismatic and top notch, what a great vibe. Not bad for a cold night in the city!
Great place to see some live music. We were there for some Metal. Place is small enough to feel intimate, but large enough that your face isnt in the next guys hair. Prices very reasonable for NYC, and excellent selection of beers and spirits. I look forward to the next event at LPR.
So much variety in what music they have to offer, and they try to make the vibe match. Tasty cocktails, though not overly remarkable.
Awesome place to see a band. Felt comfortable in the space provided. Not too big not too small. Great cornered stage layout. Staff was inviting. Drinks a bit pricey but Im sure their rent is too. Great location.
Great venue, small, friendly staff.
Definitely love the atmosphere of the venue! The bartenders were really nice and skillful. Their ten X drink was the most delicious mixed liquor Ive ever had!As a suggestion I would look into getting a bigger more elegant fish tank hence the name and all. 😉
Went for the art battle event and the setting and vibe is cool. They also have a bar which sells drink and snacks.
Its a decent sized dance floor.... And a lil side gallery for seating away from the crowd... Great party space... Open yet intimateWay overpriced drinks... Wasnt even giving straws... But besides that was cool 🤷🏾♂️
I like this venue because its a lot more intimate then some because of the size. They also seem to showcase the artists really well...Ive seen a few shows here and every one had great sound - really love it.
Excellent venue. The stage is up close so you get an intimate experience with the performers. The ability to sit at a table so close to the stage is great, I wish more concert venues would be like this. Servers were nice and attentive. The food was good and the prices were fair. Id definitely come back.
This is such a sweet venue. The atmosphere is classy, laid back, and low key. Ive seen two shows here so far and they were both awesome. The sound is great, and there really isnt a bad place to sit or stand.Phone service is pretty limited, but youre at a concert, so who cares.
Okay. Be wary of many weird pillars that make it a bit hit and miss to see things if its crowded.
John Splithoff performance. Waitress was great. Excellent covid tracking. Very comfortable atmosphere. Really enjoyed it
Went to Jesse’s girl and 80s night. Absolutely fantastic.We had a blast! The show is terrific and a must either for tourists as for locals.The whole personnel is great, super welcoming and eager to serve, extremely strange for nyc.You definitely have to go now!
Good venue, beautiful aesthetic, great costumer service, delicious food. Just saw a concert here and it was incredible! I wouldve given 5 stars but took one off because everything is overpriced. Eat before you come because a ham sandwich is $12.
Great venue in downtown New York City. One of the best the city has to offer and truly independent and non-corporate!Used to be called the Village Gates in the 70es and is now owned and operated by musicians who created a space to host one of the most varied, eclectic and interesting music programming the city has to offer.The venue offers food and drinks, seated or standing, with a stage that can also be setup in the round and it comes with a fantastic sound system, modern state of the art mixing consoles and operated by knowledgeable staff and great sound engineers who make things sound great night after night. Highly recommended!!!
Some of the best music in town is featured here. Excellent soundsystem. Relatively spacious stage for a club. Very few tables though. Come very early or prepare to be standing. Dont miss the winter Jazz Festival every january!
I feel like its 90s night every night, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Theoretically they rotate the schedule of themed cover bands, but regardless of what the theme is if the night, its sure to be a good time.If youre a serious music goer, this isnt the place for you. If youre not interested in carrying on a conversation with your friends, that also wont happen. But if youre in for a good time casually singing along to some throwback hits, then buy a ticket in advance and skip the line.
Great venue. Have been there a few times. Shows can range from lines around the block and standing room only, to cozy seating. The service staff are great and I have always enjoyed the shows at this location. Worth a try if you are interested in a fun, eclectic venue.
I was here to see Post Animal. The venue was great in that the Sound and Lighting was all professional production level but the venue is small and intimate. There is no seating so it is a stand up show and the place is typically packed Im sure. It really is not very big! But there are adequate bathrooms a good bar and a lot of great history in this venue. And Post Animal was awesome!
Unique place with an intimate feel. I saw Dean Wareham here and it was a really nice show. The audience can get right next to the stage—there is no heavy security vibe—and it’s a great place to see a show. Functional bar, good vibes and chill people. Good spot.
As soon as I heard my favourite singer before a show by a cover band inspired by my favourite show, I knew this was a place for me. I was also surprised by the audio sound quality and volume - unusual for this size venue. I wouldnt go here for just eating or drinking - food isnt all that, but service is good.
What a great place for fabulous entertainment. We went to see the Burlesque show Spoilation amazing. Highly recommend checking this place out.
Came here for the reggethon night tonight. Was cursed out by the bartender knowing that she was taking other ppl ahead of me. Terrible sevice.
I came here for Jessies Girl and 80s night and had such a good time! The band definitely made the whole night but it helped that the bartenders were quick and helpful. The drinks cost what youd expect them to, which isnt cheap. It looks like they offer bottle service too. Expect bachelor/bachelorette parties and groups of college students when youre there!
Im not generally that into clubs and parties, but this place is just great. It has so many awesome events, from the 80s/90s parties on the weekends to the Art Battle competitions they host. It can of course get crowded, with copious amounts of drunk people bashing into each other, but thats all par the course for these things. Still, one of the best places in town for a night out on the weekend.
A staff member charged my phone for me after it died. an absolute g ily
Its exactly what you would expect. I went for 90s night, and it was a ton of fun, extremely loud, and not packed. They are wheelchair accessible. The small gin and tonic I needed to dance to Nelly (it was actually more of a 90s-00s night because everyone but us was born in the 90s) was $13.
Great live music venue that provides a pretty relaxed atmosphere for hearing some great bands. Mostly general admission but good bar scene. Wish there were more places like it!
This place was great until May 26th, at the Rhythm Revue Freedom party when the venue decided that having nowhere for this older crowd to sit was a good idea. All of a sudden, they had only a bottle service seating area. And after speaking, not happily might I add, to management dis they bring seating back out. Will be questioning whether I will return for the next dance party.
What a fun event! I absolutely loved the burlesque show. A really fun atmosphere, and the drinks were really good. The matcha cocktail was my favorite. We also had sandwiches, and they were perfect portion for a late bite to eat!
One of the most solid unchanging venues in the city. Ive seen everything from contemporary classical to metal to rnb dance parties here. When they do table seating its first come first serve, you find your own seats, so get in line early for that. Main space is like a large living room. Downstairs space is a long narrow bar with plenty of room for dancing.
The drinks are over priced for the quality and the food is grossly expensive for items that should only be served to a child as a packed lunch. 9 bucks for frozen tots? A dry sandwich that comes with potato chips?The wine is awful as well. The tables were wobbly and the arrangement of the seating was also unnecessarily tight. I will not return there or recommend it ever.
One of the more eclectic venues in NYC. Small enough that it feels intimate, big enough that it gets some great headliners. From jazz to doom metal to folk to drag queens to burlesque. New York City really has it all and this venue represents that. Drink prices are reasonable if youre a local (obscene if youre from a different city but hey, theyve gotta pay the rent somehow).If your favorite band or artist is playing here youre in luck. If not, you could chance it with a winter jazzfest show or one of their many others. They clearly love music.
LPR is a fantastic music venue. Ive seen many shows here - some standing room, some seated, and theyve all been great. Its a very intimate setting, and its great to see some very unique acts so close and personal. Drinks are reasonably priced, as is the food, although theres nothing fantastic about the choices.
Good drinks, quality soundsystem, venue wasnt over packed with people.
Crash test dummies were to die for
Fun venue and a cool place for special events. This venue has some unfortunate sight lines sadly, the columns that surround the round stage can and often obscure your view. This place is usually well booked so keep an eye on the calendar for their concert schedule!
Went for a show - got the tickets with seating.Seating around the stage was a bit awkward (the angles/orientation of tables and chairs)There are pretty good views of stage though, since the place isnt too large, so fairly intimate.I thought sound for the show could have been better - the music from the instruments was considerably louder than the vocals which was unfortunate since the singer was the main event.2 item minimum (didnt really seem enforced)Food:The sandwiches were very good - spicy chicken was decently spicy and tender; French dip sandwich - moist meat, the dip was very lightCocktails for $14 and beers on tap for around $7Service was okay. Settling the bill took a bit longer than Id prefer.
Very intimate space. Not too much hassle. Good sound system. The only design flaw is that the only bar is on the far side of the room, so you really have to fight your way across a crowded floor to get a drink.
Good place to see a show. Larger than some Villlage clubs, good acoustics, table seating or stand at the bar. Menu includes sandwiches & snacks; I had a salad & it was fresh. Bathroom is above-average for a club in the Village.
Good place to party with your friends. Compared to other bars or clubs in NY this one is relatively cheaper. They have live shows which I personally enjoy a lot. Is a basement so decoration is not great.
Spot is spacious. I like the set up. Outside of the main performance area is a decent sized bar area, the bathrooms and coat check. This is the 1st section when coming into the venue down the stairs. Once they open up the doors to the main area there is another bar as well. So you have the option of 2 bars. Decent sound system.
The show I saw was magnificent. The service was very good, and the chance to sit at a table and have food and drinks while watching a show is very civilized, and not done enough. The draft beer was very tasty, the tater tots were also good, but the salad I ordered (while hearty and very healthy) needed variety and perhaps longer contact with the dressing before serving.
Great spot to see a live show
This venue has an intimate feel to it. Went to see Lucy Rose perform and the acoustics were awesome. Drinks were moderately priced and bar menu was decent. Id def go back.
This is one of my favorite hang out spots. Im there at least two or three Saturdays a month for Jessies Girl. The staff, security, and bartenders are all lovely and the drinks are strong and well priced.
I went for an old school party. And had a great time!! Drinks are a bit pricey (no place is perfect) but well made. Plus the DJ is good youll be dancing all night
One of the best vibrant music venues on NYC. Jessies Girl 80s night is not to he missed! One of the best cover bands youd ever fine. Theyre a blast everytime.
Amazing,interesting,happy, and positive energy in the air amongst a crowd of diversified people. The good classic music is what brings the positive folks out to lounge...🍷The same listening ears match up with the same like minds equal a successful night....
Good times. Great venue
Great venue to catch upcoming and international bands. Acoustics and amplification need to be more flexible and better tuned to support the myriad of musical forms that are showcased there.
I have been there twice, and both times the soundsystem has left lots to be desired. If I can hear the people at the bar over the headliner, you are doing something wrong. Avoid at all costs
Cool venue with excellent energy!!
The concert we saw was great, the venue however not so much. The food was average and the space was pretty dingy. It was really cold as well, since we were sitting under an air vent.
Was there for a show. The room is set up such that the stage is hard to see from some seats. The bathrooms and furniture seem very old. They do have fun shows and its in a great neighborhoods of the City.
Went with friends for the Bingo show. We spent a really good time having fun in a friendly atmosphere.The cocktails and food are decent for this king of place where you come more for the ambiance than the gastronomy.
Very cool atmosphere, I saw pharoah Sanders here, absolute legend, intimate space, mostly standing room only unless youre dining, nice area outside of stage in case you need a little quiet for a few minutes, affordable tickets, good area to grab food and drinks before and after in the nyu area
Very cool place. Beers range from 5 to 11 dollars I went with the Narragansett for 5 bc the more expensive beers were basic .Good dance / chill space
Had an issue with bouncers that were in charge for the night I visited the venue and their attitudes were gross. If you are going to work with ppl MAKE SURE YOU ARE AT LEAST FOND OF THEM. Other than that i enjoyed the show somewhat.
I only come for linda loves bingo. Its fun. Happy hour ends quick though, so make sure to order a few ahead of time. Its a totally G rated drag event, so if you always wanted to bring your grandma to see a drag event, this is totally for you. The prizes are pretty cool too.
Came here to see Peter Murphy on August 10th; nice little club, and the bartender makes a good old-fashioned. Be warned that its greatest strength is also its greatest weakness: the stage area is very small, so bring some earplugs (or get some from the bar).
Nice size venue. Fun show with Metalachi
Great place to see a show. The one and only drawback is that the stage is very low so if youre not up close it can be hard to see the performers if the show is crowded.
Great 90s and 00s music but only if you ignore all black artists. Only heard like 3 black artists over entire 3 hour set. I guess its taylored to the crowd though cause there were very few black people in general. But maybe thats because the setlist is the way it is. Anyway still pretty fun place
Unique, and inspiring. French for, The Red Fish, this hipster location with polite and friendly staff will change your night. Bottle service available, and all types of music played in this venue. Frank made our groups night special snd highly recommend meeting his friend facr either at the door or inside.
One of my favorite hang out spots. Im there at least two or three Saturdays a month for Jessies Girl. The staff, security, and bartenders are all lovely and the drinks are strong and well priced.
Great place to go! Drinks are very expensive. They have a great dance floor area and pleanty of seating in the back of the venue and when you need to get away from the music for a minute there are pleanty of places to escape to near the bathrooms.
Attended a concert. The sound was good and the atmosphere was great. It is an intimate venue without a view to the street from inside, which makes for a less distracting experience. The view is good from the entire space. Service was good as well.
Favorite music venue in Manhattan. Always a surprising variety of acts coming through — Ive seen it all: singer-songwriter; hip-hop / art rap; folk-y electronics; string quartets; and perhaps my personal favorite, le rap français (shout out to Bigflo & Oli). And to top it all off, the venue has one of my favorite stage configurations — even if you arrive late to a packed show, youll still be able to find a clear line of sight, unlike e.g. many of the Bowery Presents locations.TL;DR: check this place out.
This place really hits the spot for a certain crowd...just not for me.I came here with a friend and it was 90s night (If I remember correctly). While the bouncers were cordial and the atmosphere was somewhat friendly... the crowd is overwhelmingly white ---yes I know we are in America--and frat-like-americans who look fresh out of college (nothing wrong against that type of aesthetic and culture, just a fact about my experience). Thus, as i have read in some reviews below, about girls pushing and yelling and people who cant handle their alcohol and just gyrate with whoever is close by, are true from my experience. The bathroom facilities here is also not up to par...so the lines can get really ridiculous. With all that said, the music was solid. My friend, on the other hand, didnt really mind it and had more fun (so I guess it all comes down to what one is looking for).
This is a nice venue with a good sound in a great neighborhood. They have two bars and two bathroom areas. If you find yourself wishing you would have carried less baggage into the venue, they have a coat check.
Fantastic venue with amazing sound. Saw the best concert of my life here. Kevin Barnes is amazing and hope he comes back soon.
Go get yourself some Bingo! Fun filled night with wonderful hosts and an excellent waitstaff that are very attentive and friendly.
Great venue. Good shows fill the room quick, so keep your spot.Acoustics are nice and the drink prices are what youd expect.
I went to drag bingo here on a Saturday night, hosted by Linda. Its a fun evening out with an arrival around 6:30pm and bingo from 7:30-9:30pm. Once bingo is over, therea quick turnover of the space, so dont expect to hang out afterwards. Drinks are anywhere from $9-$14 though specials offer some $4 mixed drinks and shots. Fun space, if not a little cramped.
Awesome atmosphere and sound. Good bar with decent variety and price.
The Big Quiz Thing held a recent event at this venue. Great place with lots of character, really fun ambiance and nice people. Hope to be back for a concert in the near future.
Cool setup for performers: The stage is round and in the centre of the room. I wish there were more seating options as the show started late and I had to stand the whole time. Sound was okay.
Four stars for the music and the vibe. With so many music venues closed or moved across the river to that other borough, LPR remains one of my fav places where I have heard some fantastic musicians. Drinks and appetizers are attractively priced and good quality. On the negative side the sound levels of the performances approach torture even when wearing Vibes. The Martin speakers are among the best in the world and quite a few performances were properly mixed and amplified. Please consider your music fans who dont want to suffer permanent hearing loss. This is a simple matter of keeping sound pressure levels within the humane realm
Probably has at least two separate dance floors and I was in the smaller one. The ambience was good with a well stocked bar and a decent DJ. Should try the live music party the next time I am here.
Really chill place, loved the vibes!
The place is Nice, good sound, and the staff is polite and professional. It was the First time we go out for a party night at usa and we (my girfriend and I) were impressed by the rudeness that young people, mostly women, show after one or two drinks: slams, souls, invasion of personal space, etc. almost ruined the night. that completely contradicted every notion we had of American people.
The venue was G idles with discount ticket. They were cute but played just 3 songs but other artists played most of time which was highly entertaining. Drinks very expensive served in a plastic cup.
I went to Le Bingo at Le Poisson Rouge on Saturday night and it was so much fun!From 7:30 - 9:30pm every Saturday night you can hang out with the great hostess in drag and her trusty sidekick. Free to enter, $2 per bingo card. Drink specials (based on what the spinning wheel lands on) and prizes galore!We were a group of three, showed up around 7:15 and were able to get a table. It does get crowded, so go a little early and grab a drink.Drinks were served in plastic cups which surprised me.Id recommend going for Le Bingo. I have not been otherwise.
I came with a large group for Linda Loves Bingo on the weekend and had a fantastic time. Staff was very friendly, drinks were reasonably priced and delicious, vegan items were available on the menu. Linda was awesome, too-- I plan to go back!
Some of my favorite events and parties in NYC happen at LPR. One of the best is Oh! You Pretty Things! which happens semi-regularly and is always a good time. Very fun and diverse crowd - I feel like almost anyone would be at home here. The drinks are pricey but not excessively so, and the cocktails are pretty good. Love the photo booth near the bathrooms, and I love even more that it takes credit cards.
Ive seen Jessies Girl twice. Its great for those who experienced the full decadence of the 80s, as well as those who lived through the decade, but too young to party (like myself). Its also proof that great music never dies, because both times I went, I saw people not even old enough to remember this music when it came out, yet they knew all of the words to every song played. Just be careful you dont accidentally slap someone when the 99 Red 🎈 are unleashed.
An unfortunate venue with nothing to recommend it acoustically. This, coupled with the most unpleasant wait staff and infelicitious menu make for an uncomfortable and aurally difficult evening. This establishment serves neither the music they purport to exhibit or the audience they seek to rip off in every way.
Dope place, Im there maybe once a year. Lots of shows of people and bands I dont know. Not a big venue but sounds good.
Saw The Longest Johns, had a religious experience.
Best 80s PJ Party. Great night, the band was awesome! The manager and staff were super accommodating. I would highly recommend Poisson Rouge for a fun night out!!!
Great place to see a show
Intimate, fun venue for live music and dancing. Saw Santigold and Diplo here and loved the proximity to the performers as well as the lively crowd. Bar is long to minimize the wait and bathrooms were clean considering the number of people who had used them that night. Also, theres a photo booth, so Ill let you determine for yourself whether that makes or break the party.
Nice venue clean... Tell genuine staff... The acoustic was lovely...
It was a terrible experience, the menu was very limited (i.e. French onion soup, tater tots, crostinis, salads, and sandwiches). The drinks are way overpriced for the place and the quality.The crostini were actually soda crackers with a jam! I got the wrong whiskey served. Ah, they kicked everyone out at 9 pm.I will not come back to this place, there are way too many great places in New York.
Great staff but way over crowded firetrap. Venue more interested in selling Tix than comfort and SAFETY of customers. Had more drinks sloshed on me than ever before in the last 45 years.
Excellent venue for music. Not too big. Good sound. Always have had a great night there.
Great super small music venue. Have been to many an exclusive set here. Venue gets hot rather quickly when crowded though!
This place is still worth visiting for the unique musical offerings; however, their obvious money-grubbing is a dead turnoff ,and service overall needs work. They require anyone who purchases a table-seating ticket to order at least two items from the menu, as well as automatically adding a 20% gratuity; visitors who are not on to this may end up adding more, which Im sure theyre counting on. Whats served (that Ive tried) is ok, but nothing special; for ex., to control costs, I usually order a salad -- which, I was told long ago, comes with dressing (I. E., no dressing on the side). Worse even, on two occasions, I had to wait far too long to get back my credit card/ change; I had to ask another waitress to summon my waiter so that I could get my change.
Acoustics and lighting aren’t bad. Drinks are reasonably priced. Wish there was some kind of viewing spot for short people.
We came for Linda Loves Bingo (drag queen bingo) and the place was perfect. The drinks were reasonably priced and the food was good bar food. The service was quick and friendly.
Tickets were way over sold and the place was so packed it took 30mins to get a drink. Figure that out management
Back to the 80s with Jessies Girl is the best throwback experience in the city. Live cover band, great people all dressed up in 80s, and just a good time vibe. Im heading here for Friday 90s this week
You might not get into the Poisson Rouge (Red Fish in French) - the locals call it the Poison Rouge - I guess they dont speak French... anyway, if you dont get in, the whole corner of LaGuardia and Bleecker are packed with live music bars.Its Greenwich Village, after all.
We went to the 80s night here and had a blast! The DJ and cover band were amazing. Such a fun time, I would highly recommend.
This place is epic. Went for 80s night and cant wait to go back. Bar was easy to access because its big. All around great experience
Dj would have been better. Dude was stopping the songs when ppl were vibing...
Cool venue! Hope to see a lot more live music here! I didnt get a chance to check out the food but the menu looked great!
Le Poison Rouge is one of the very best small live music venues in New York.. Up there with Mercury Lounge, Rough Trade and St. Vitus, its in an elite class.
Saw AJJ here. Nice, intimate venue. It was a good time.
This happening place has been around for some time now! The music and feel match the area. The concerts are good for the most part and worth checking out friends!
The cool thing about this place is the size and good sound quality. You can see your gavorite artist so close that it feels that you are hanging out with them.
The 90s night should be advertised as a 90s rock because there was no dance at all!! Definitely did not expect a full night of rock(don’t mind it but it should be advertised differently)
AC is set for stupid cold in here for mid June. The artist on stage even made mention of it. Great sound system. Tiny menu. Food is ok. No Guinness.
Okay, LPR definitely pulls in the talent, and the location is great. But as I stood there listening to the bands, my feet swelling by the minute, I couldnt help but eye those tables. Lots of them. All empty. All topped with signs saying, Two drink minimum. And otherwise, no chair in the joint (unless you want to hang around outside the bathroom).Really, I wanted to like this place, but it just seems soulless, and the moneygrubbing is hard to overlook.
Came for Linda Loves Bingo (drag queen bingo) and the place was perfect. The drinks were reasonably priced and the food was good bar food. The service was quick and friendly.
This venue always has something interesting going on: live bands, theme parties, DJs spinning, and even bingo. The atmosphere is built around gorgeous contemporary art that looks to have been stolen from the MoMA. The acoustics arent the best, but are still better than most places in the city. Just be prepared for loud (like every other club scene).Drinks are expensive and sometimes tickets sell out. For popular events, expect a long line. Maybe convince a friend to grab you some filafel at Mamouns down the block while you wait.

2022-04-28The venue had a beautiful performer tonight. Jesse J. LPR packed us in like cattle. No seating standing only, They opened the door at 6:30. The show started at 8:30. People pushing and shoving to try to get to te stage area. No security keeping people safe. It was not worth going even though the performance was great the manager of LPR only cared about making money and selling booze.

2022-05-23Totally awesome venue! Went to see Frontline Assembly here I waited 15 years to see them! I like the decour it is almost this purple tint that burgundy type reflection that sets a romantic mood but also a darkness that only a venue like this can have. I really enjoyed the experience there and there is seating that not only looks stylish but gives you comfort and sense of being part of the underground music movement. I hope I made at least one friend here from the show and definitely enjoyed the experience. I ran into Bill Leeb before the show started it was a brief encounter outside the venue. But Ill never forget how cool the experience of being here was. It really felt a lot like that scene from the Matrix when Trinity, encounters Neo for the first time. What an awesome event thanks for the memories!

2022-05-28Went here for a mini concert by Broadway Sings. Besides the show (which was fantastic!), the venue is very chill and intimate too. Would come here again for another show!

2022-02-28Saw The Birthday Massacre perform here and it was great!! The staff took great care of me when I got overheated and passed out (combo of that and a neurological issue I have - I didnt know the lights were going to be so flashy for this set and my brain decided to take a vacation from consciousness - ask in advance if the performances will have strobe effects!) - no fault of the venue or the band, just happens to me in big crowds / shows with certain lights sometimes. I was taken care of the whole way through until I came to, given lots of water and kept a close eye on me to make sure I didnt get hurt. Going above and beyond for the attendees - thats what makes a place worth going to!Some places arent as kind, and will throw you out thinking youre drunk or on drugs, instead of asking if you have a health condition (its happened to me before.. At Slimelight, London). These people take care of you if anything ever happens. Makes the whole experience very welcoming! Thanks for a great night guys!! 🖤

2022-05-15To be fair on my rating: I went for a Korean groups tour, so it was not for the experience of this place *as a club*Decent size venue, however the stage doesnt quite feel as *stage-like* as other venues. Also should probably have more solid barriers or enforce barrier limits a bit better.Bar staff was pretty friendly at the end of the night, didnt interact much with other venue staff.Also not too keen on the fact that they double book the venue with an early show and a late show as the early show (in this case the Korean group I went to see) really feels like it gets shafted from the full concert experience.

2022-05-13Very intimate venue in a good way; good sound quality, clean bathrooms, very nice staff, and a good size seating area. I also really, REALLY appreciate that they actually do check your covid vaccine cards at the door and do so conscientiously (marching names to ID for example). Thanks LPR for making it a safer place for all of us attendees (and staff) by doing that.

2021-11-14Saw a few shows here, the last being pre pandemic Peter Murphy doing a David Bowie set. Sound was good and you can see from pretty much anywhere because the stage is nice and high.
Review №9
2022-05-01A very cool venue in Lower Manhattan that comfortably hosts shows from solo acts and bands to stand up comedy and club shows. Neil Hamburger last night was fantastic!! And Major Entertainer is someone you need to experience at least once. DUCK THE NIGHT UP!!

2022-04-12I was at the gig with ReachNYC, Palisades and Blind Channel. The LPR staff were nice and caring to us. I would love to give a shout-out to Frankie, he was truly amazing. The whole staff were amazing and attentive to your personal needs. Thank you LPR, Will return for future events!
