What People Are Saying About The Village Underground
Featured Review

The Scene – It's just off the insane, touristy fray of Bleecker Street and 6th Avenue, but don't be discouraged by location--or the drab entryway. Descend the dark stairwell and enter a haven for people who just want to let loose in a no-holds-barred, no-pretensions kind of place. Hundreds of miniature, reflective glass domes cast a warm light on the crowd of bankers, hipsters and stylish out-of-towners. A lounge with banquette seating sits a step above the main bar. – – The Draw – The lack of VIP area and the accompanying surly bouncers is refreshing. The piped-in…
Editor's Tips
- Look Good:
- Don't bother waiting for the right little boy's or girl's room to open up--the bathrooms are all unisex.
- Save Time:
- Each banquette fits about six people. Splitting a bottle, which average $150, saves time and effort (but not necessarily money), as the waitresses are quick to replenish mixers.

Best live Brazilian band in New York City
by britbrazilian
Went there on a Tuesday night and was pleasantly surprised to catch the group Brasil Live with the most amazing Brazilian singers I've ever seen.
This Brazilian band is made up of the best pros in NY and they play all the cool Brazilian music hits by my favorite artists. Seu Jorge, Ivete, Sangalo, Tim Maia, Jorge Benjor... you name it, they have on their repertoire. The energy is so high up there, people can't help it but to stand up, dance and party all night.
The Village Underground is located right across the street from the Blue Note on West 3rd street so it's right in the middle of Village and super easy to get to. I was staying at the Hostelling International uptown Manhattan and it was a quick subway ride home. I highly recommend going there on a Tuesday night for an amazing night of Brazilian music fun.

I Love This Place
by SallyD2010
I used to be a regular at the owners old place Cafe Wha, but I love this new place much better. The music is the same fantastic quality, but the place is nicer and more comfortable, it's not as expensive, and the drinks are way better. Also many of my old favorite Cafe Wha musicians like Mike Davis, Elan, and Cheryl Pepsi Riley come down to perform with the band. I've brought a ton of friends here, and we've never had a bad time.
- Pros: Great Great Great Music
- Cons: Can't Think of Any!!!

An Inexpensively Good Time
by MsPositivity
I've been going to the VU pretty much every Friday night for the past year and a half and I never cease to have a good time whether I come alone or with friends. I dance, drink, eat and I adore the band and love the music the DJ plays during the band's breaks. Even on the nights I can't make it out, I still watch the show online. Anyone looking to have a good time should definitely consider coming here.
- Pros: Live music, fun atmosphere
- Cons: Small dance floor

AMAZING MY FAVORITE!!!
by Varelita17
I have been living in NYC for bit now and I have to say I love to go out and explore the scene.
I came across Village Underground by accident, now I go there all the time. The martinis are amazing and very fairly priced. THE SERVICE IS AMAZING, i've had different waiters and they were all nice, which is a rare thing in NYC. The DJ is awesome, I have been there for my birthday and a bunch of other times with friends and I keep going back. You can get a table without a reservation if you get there early I they don't make you by bottles. Which lets face it....at times it's a good thing. In the end you end up with a fair tab and NOTHING BUT A GREAT TIME!!! Highly recommended!
- Pros: Amazing service, great DJ, friendly people
- Cons: Can't think of any
