Terra Blues visit

by Murrarich

If you enjoy listening to the Blues, check out this club. My girlfriend and I went on the Monday after Christmas and the house band was playing. Just great music.

The bartender was friendly and even though slammed as the only bartender taking care of the bar and floor servers, she was attentive. New York prices, of course.

I'll be back every chance I get during visits to NYC.

Idiot Bouncer

by abuilee

I TRIED to take my friend, who was visiting NYC, here a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, the bouncer who was working that night was apparently mentally incompetent and could not tell the difference between real and fake IDs. I showed him my license and was let in. She showed him hers (and mind you, they are IDENTICAL, VALID, Illinois issued drivers licenses) and he refuses to let her in. Of course, we start laughing because there's no way someone can be that stupid. But he's serious. And of course, they don't have scanners there so we couldn't prove to this fool that it WAS, in fact, real. When I mentioned the fact that her license looked just like mine and that it was ridiculous that he could be mistaken, he simply snorted back "Well, maybe you have a better fake". And to top it all off, when we were leaving, he laughs with the so-called manager (?) about catching a fake. We're both 23...our licenses were DEFINITELY not fake.

Seriously, hire a new bouncer who actually knows what he's looking at. Or at least get some scanners for them since they obviously have no brains. So if you're heading here, bring an extra ID...seeing as how they randomly accuse people of carrying fakes.

• Pros: Looked fun from the door
• Cons: The hilariously ridiculous accusations

Greatest Blues Bar in da Village

by topdogtix

Lucky Peterson is probably one of the best and under-rated blues guitar player alive, both on Keyboards and guitar (if your real Lucky maybe see him on drums). Small intimate atmosphere has these special artist appear as they would appear in your own living room!

• Pros: Lucky Peterson to Robert Lockwood Jr.
• Cons: 2nd Floor, Might walk by the Best Blues bar in da Village

Absolutely not fun

by Manyc

This place has very good reviews, but we went there last Saturday, and the waitress was very rude with us, as well as the guitarist playing that night... They played for 15 minutes, then stopped for 20 minutes, then played 15 minutes more, and stopped, and since you have to order 2 drinks per set, it was like you had to order 8 drinks in 1 hour and a half... The waitress was rude, and the place was not even half-full, so we left after one hour and two drinks. Do not go there !

• Pros: good music sometimes
• Cons: rude service
