Sullivan Room Bar / Club / Live Music Venue

Greenwich Village / NoHo, New York –

Underground music seekers in Greenwich enjoy a subterranean savior at Sullivan Room, where the DJs rarely sway from a lineup of house, house, a little techno…

…and more house.

Anyone loitering outside the unassuming metal doors right at 10pm will probably find the place deserted, but by midnight a swarm of club kids have scampered past the psychedelic portrait of a woman above the narrow stairs and into the hidden party beneath.

The open room touts few fancy trappings save for a couple of bottle service areas along two sides of the dance floor, itself dotted with fake stone pillars that give the eclectic sea of revelers something to lean on if they’ve had one too many customarily overpriced club drinks.

Scattered paintings could have been pulled from the cover of some cheesy romantic novel – dashing knights on galloping steeds, packs of angry wolves – but nobody comes to this unpretentious hall to look at the art, especially considering the Core Audio sound system has a bass beat that could dislodge a blood clot.

DJs cover the gamut from big names on the UK scene to local up-and-comers, and though Fridays and Saturdays naturally host the week’s biggest acts, the Funk Box event on Sundays and rotating soul nights throughout the month (Sundays too, as well as first Fridays) are regular fixtures that draw solid crowds.

Simple but satisfying, Sullivan Room is for people who want to party late in an intimate space with folks who care more about dancing than décor.
