L. T.July 7, 2015Great venue for any kind of music! Nice side-stage views at shows if you come in late. Some all ages shows make me feel old as hell, but it's great for live music culture in the city! Very cool vibe!
Concert Ticket AgencySeptember 20, 2012This has that vibe of a classic New York dance club. Great place to see a live concert as well. Clean bathrooms but the attendants can be pushy about tipping. Dress in layers...can get hot on floor!
Jacob FordFebruary 22, 2017Claim a spot leaning against the bar, even if not packed. Drinks are what you’d expect. Food, though: don’t overlook the food. Substantial, delicious, and mildly priced. French onion soup especially.
Jacob ForsterJune 29, 201580s show with fresh kids of belair is a ton of fun with a good group of friends. It's SUPER loud and perfect if you're looking to dance! The dj music after the show is on point as well!
Casey BAugust 15, 2011love LPR. It's so refreshing to know that there's a venue that still truly cares about art and music! Plus, they have "milk and cookies" on their menu... what more could you ask for!?
Kelsey LeeJune 22, 2014Not only does this space have game nights, bands, and shows, but they also support classical music and hosted Max Richter for his reimagining of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Truly something for everyone!
Sarah ColvinApril 30, 2012Fun fun fun. I love the space. I love the multi-media aspects of it. I love the vibe. Excellent programming, fantastic acoustics. If you're looking for a fun experience, look no further! Try it out!
The Corcoran GroupMarch 5, 2013Start your Saturday night at Le Bingo! with your hostess Linda Simpson. Entrance is free and cards are $2 each, with the chance to win discount-store delights or a cash jackpot!
Ale TowerMarch 18, 2017It's great venue for loud concerts and they have a very good programme, but they really need to fix the freaking AC vents that go off with a bang and whirr overhead. Very noticeable with quieter music
Alia Ormut-FleishmanJanuary 29, 2015Come here for unexpected indie showcases, but beware the cover for less well known bands!
Jason SchulweisApril 12, 2015Great subterranean music spot - low key performances and acts, and home to great decade cover bands Bayside Tigers and Jessie's Girl
M. Silver AssociatesFebruary 24, 2012Hosting the annual Alternative Oscar Celebration. Red carpet arrivals start at 6pm with live DJs, followed by food and drink specials all night. It's $15 in advance, $20 at the door.
Time Out New YorkOctober 31, 2011Come here for Gameshow Speakeasy, the best game night in NYC, featuring wisecracking panelists from NYC’s nightlife circuit and a famous mystery guest. Read more
- Jordan SmithJune 1, 2013Lots of people order things to eat but then they don't eat it because the show starts. Nachos work well to overcome this, easy to eat in the dark.
- Conrad Greiner-BechertJanuary 30, 2018The Beatbox house performs here on the reg and you should go there because these guys are amazing and talented.
Benjamin SehlSeptember 27, 2014Very intimate venue. Great acoustics. Saw Bahamas here and was one of the greatest shows I've ever been to.
CMJAugust 29, 2012Broadcast and Atlas Sound helped kickstart CMJ 2009 with a memorable joint performance at Le Poisson Rouge. Make sure you don't bump your head on the fishtank chandelier on your way in.
MischaJune 18, 2015The place feels really intimate, you get your tickets and the day of the event you just say your name and you are in.
"More Than Enough" party in the Gallery is a TRUE dance party. Get on it when it happens. Free entry before midnight with RSVP.
Ilissa GilmoreJuly 7, 2016I like the concept, but I'm not sure if the sound system can support it. Went to a show recently and could hear some instruments more than others, so it sounded more like noise than music.
RCRD LBLFebruary 28, 2011So many of our favorite acts have played here, we love this chameleon-like venue. Hint: become a member for $50 and get a free ticket to LPR member shows, plus a free bucket of beer on your bday!
Dave OlversonOctober 1, 2012Here's to hoping that Macaulay Culkin keeps throwing his iPod parties. If so, you can meet him on the first Thursday night of every month at Le Poisson Rouge
Nash PleasantSeptember 11, 2018Tab Benoit and Slam Allen shredded this compact basement bar venue. Good for an up close and personal show experience
Original PenguinOctober 26, 2010This extravagant West Village nightclub is a mix of uptown class and downtown talent offering fine dining, art performances, film screenings, music and rambunctious late night dance parties.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantDecember 16, 2015Great nite of comedy and storytelling. Jason Biggs was amazing.
Yoeun PenMay 27, 2015Surprisingly good layout. Stage close to entrance, bar away from stage, easy to move around room.
Alisha SedorAugust 12, 2015Really interesting setup, the crowd definitely gets preference over VIP (which is great).
Diego RufoApril 5, 2011There is a gallery bar located on the opposite side of the venue that offers food. $10 gets you into the show & a full glass of whiskey with three ice cubes. Read more
Gilt CityJanuary 4, 2011Before the space at 158 Bleecker Street was (Le) Poisson Rouge, it was the Village Gate--a nightclub that opened in 1968 and featured musicians like John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie and Billie Holiday.

Innovative and up-and-coming musicians/artists can be found here on any given night. LPR is always a step ahead:
One of NYC's longest running dance parties, The Freedom Party, calls LPR home every Fri. Classic hip-hop, soul, reggae, house & more. Mention the RARE FORM GUESTLIST to the cashier for reduced prices.
AlisonNovember 12, 2017Had so much fun at drag queen bingo here! Great atmosphere and had a great time!
I CARE IF YOU LISTENDecember 8, 2011A "multimedia art cabaret". The Gallery downstairs has limited view and the sound from the adjacent main stage can sometimes disrupt performances...
More music museum than raucous rock club, LPR is host to some of the most avant garde acts you're likely to see, but keeps it really classy.
Dan WissingerJanuary 4, 201590's cover band The Bayside Tigers has a residency that every 90's kid must see. Otherwise this venue is overpriced and not as cool as it used to be
