CompassMay 20, 2014Named for a Parisian district known for beatnik creatives and culture, you’ll find a packed dance floor and critically acclaimed live music acts ranging from experimental jazz to European R&B.
Laura SchwecherlMarch 19, 2014the Slavic band on Tuesdays brings an energy I've never experienced before when seeing live music. seriously amazing- get there early, get a cheap IPA, and get ready to want to take up the trumpet.
SaleemDecember 9, 2014Great spot with live music in the back room. Front bar has the music vibe but isn't too loud. Justin will make you an amazing cocktail based on a few vague words from you on flavors & liquors you likeUpvoted Dec 25, 2024- Joy ChenAugust 13, 2016A favorite bar with excellent world/folk/jazz music on most nights. Be sure to see Stephane Wrembel, the gypsy jazz guitarist, on Sunday nights and pair with a beer or whiskey.
Tim CreanNovember 24, 2024Great spot for live music. Make sure to arrive a bit early for the band you want to see as the performance space is very intimate and fills up quick!- Wesley VerhoeveDecember 23, 2012Lovely staff, relaxed environment, makes for a great relaxed drink with a friend, or a rustic and romantic date. Step into the back for a very culturally diverse set of music performances.
Sarah AiliJune 10, 2012Keep it local and head to Barbes. Eclectic and off the cusp live music most every night, readings and film showings. The drinks are classy and the people are real. My favorite is Slavic Soul Party!- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015Performances take place in the back room, where a pitcher is passed to collect the $10 suggested cover. Up front, the somewhat musty bar has a laid-back vibe and a full cocktail menu. Read more
Carl SmithDecember 24, 2019Looking for a cool spot to listen to live jazz/blues. Is the music played at Barbès mixed depending on the night or is it mainly jazz/blues?- RoJanuary 20, 2017Intimate setting with friendly and eclectic patrons to share a drink with, while great live tunes emanate from the back room.
Neighborhood bar, live music every day (or at least every time I've been there), and a super friendly vibe. Buybacks for good behavior.
Gabriela Lopez DenaJuly 15, 2017This is a great place! Live music and cheap drinks, the atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious... highly recommended :)

Time Out New YorkFebruary 1, 2012This small French space hosts one of the city’s most diverse music scenes in its back room. Arrive early to take advantage of happy hour, with $1 off beers and $3 off cocktails. Read more
Charming Parisian bar with Cote du Rhone and a great whiskey/rye selection. Live music in the back room most nights!
David HoltzNovember 22, 2017Definitely go on Tuesday to see Slavic Soul Party! $10 cover to see the band is cash only.
David BlackmanMarch 28, 2012Hard to go wrong with any show here. World, jazz, folk, old-timey, avant garde. Good beer and whiskey selection.
EsquireJanuary 31, 2011Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. This tiny, candle-lit, boho bar and performance space is an Anti-Dive, home to smart conversations, and smarter-looking women.
VDecember 24, 2013Stephanie Wrembel's performance on Sunday nights is mesmerizing. Make sure to support the venue/artists with a tip!
Great live bands bolstered by a wide drink selection at good prices. Heavenly.
Natalia MacrynikolaDecember 13, 2014A neighborhood gem. Come for the winter ales and Stephane Wrembrel on Sundays.
Gabrielle TabakDecember 29, 2011Live music and strong drinks, gets crowded fast so come at earlier hour if you want to be near the stage
Amanda MoritzSeptember 6, 2011Come on Monday's from 7-9 for Brain Cloud--best Texas swing you'll hear.
Get here early on Sunday, grab a scotch, and enjoy some incredible music
Angie HanDecember 31, 2011Nice single malt scotch selection.Laphroaig is smoky, smooth, and delicious.
SethJune 28, 2011Upright Piano Brigade on Tuesday evenings this summer. 7:00 to 9:00. Great musicians every week.
if you are ever anywhere within a 10 mile radius, you have no excuse for not stopping in the check out whatever music is playing in the backroom. never not incredible.
Tina MagnusonApril 16, 2012Check to see if Stephane Wrembel is playing on a Sunday night and get your Django groove on!
