Tammany Hall Bar / Live Music Venue / Lounge

Lower East Side, New York –

A Lower East Side live music venue with a darkly sleek motif, Tammany Hall hosts some of the city’s coolest events, catering to crowds who like to straddle the line from modern to down-and-dirty.

Usually filled with tattooed indie rockers and chic downtown party girls, the narrow candlelit lounge provides plenty of leather booths and small tables where boisterous art professionals gather to yell over the music, as well as a small corner stage where acts from two-man beat-box routines to swinging alt-rockers to DJs show up to get the crowd of hipsters up and shaking their tail-feathers.

Those who want a bird’s-eye view of the action can make their way to the balcony, where successful creative types sprawl on black leather couches to chat or grab drinks from the second-level bar.

Depending on the night’s bands and which DJs are spinning downstairs, the venue can fill up fast with weekend party hounds and punkish professionals, though the scene rarely gets overly rowdy.

Going a little further than its basement-show counterparts, Tammany Hall is the perfect place to catch a hot live act and stay for the endless after-party.
