Despite its ever-chic locale, suit-clad bouncer and mysterious, windowless facade, this Bowery rock bar recalls a bygone era, before bottle service and girl-to-guy ratios entered the nightlife lexicon. With its friendly door policy, neighborhood feel and 12 beers on tap, Bowery Electric caters to a range of artists, students, locals and anyone else who appreciates good DJs, good company, and good (reasonably priced) cocktails. But it's no local dive, with a sommelier-approved wine list, specialty cocktails and tastefully understated design accents like vintage travel trunks, mohair couches,…

TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT
by nycgrl10
This place has really made a bad move by hiring the new General manager Dianne. She is extremely unfriendly and RUDE and nothing like the manager Michael from when the bar first openend. I would not host a birthday party in this location -- merely to spite her. Even though the location is cool - the music is great- Dianne will be responsible for this place to loose a lot of future business.
- Pros: good music
- Cons: awful manager

Best New Live Music Venue!!!
by nytrash
This is the last great rock 'n roll venue in New York! The fact that people are only just now finding out about it makes it a great secret, usually when bars become too well known in Manhattan they start to lose their cool. The Bowery Electric is a great place to hang out, drink and rock out to live music or great DJs!!
- Pros: Very cool scene, lots of great rockbands, happy hours...

Never go back
by DD3546
Literally, this was the worst night out since moving to NYC in 2001. After having a great dinner with a friend in from LA, our party agreed to go to Bowery Electric for someone's "birthday party". After reluctantly waiting in line to enter, we descended into the revolting trifecta of bad 80's music, college freshmen drooling shots all over one another and acting rudely without abandon. I felt like I had wandered into an episode of NYC Prep, but everyone had been roofied. You couldn't pay me to go back and I advise you keep your distance.
Why do I have to give this place one star to publish?
- Pros: Frat boys regurgitating in street
- Cons: Bad music, unremarkable people
The Details on The Bowery Electric
What to Drink:
If wine, mixed drinks and drafts don't do it for you, there's also an extensive selection of scotches, bourbons and tequilas, plus a stellar variety of bottled brews.
The Extras:
No contemporary New York rock bar would be complete without some celebrity backing, and this one is no different--Bowery Electric's principal's include popular singer/ songwriter Jesse Malin and nightlife impresario Johnny T, of Motherf*cker party fame.
Fun Fact:
In addition to being a play on the title of Walt Whitman's "I Sing the Body Electric," the bar's name is also a tribute to the old Bowery Electric Festival at CBGB and the Bowery Electrical Supply Co, which occupied the space for over 50 years.
