This Tribeca club features mostly alternative rock shows, but it also showcases blues and jazz performances. There are numerous different rooms in this funky, cavernous space. The main stage showcases popular bands as well as barely known acts. The crowded bar areas are filled with an assortment of interesting people ranging from business types to students, and music is also featured in these smaller ... more

In Short Larger than the Old Office and smaller than the cavernous main space, the unadorned Tap Bar hosts a range of events, from literary readings to indie rock record releases to Super Bowl parties.

this tap room has an excellent suggestion of beers and a good bartender to help you ....it doesn't get as crowded as the upstairs as few people know about it...you have to talk downstairs and you will find it. i like it to chill....especially before a show upstairs or at the playshop
