Variety of music and a chill feel

by rocnopal

This venue really does have great music. Variety. Many talented bands. The beers are way less expensive than most other bars. It's not pretensious and feels cozy inside. This place has been going for years and has had some great musicians on that stage. I hear they're redoing the bar next month. Should look way cleaner and put together come Aug.

• Pros: great waitress, good music, can meet people easy
• Cons: would like more seating, better bathrooms, cover

Den of Thieves

by jfrench7

First off, don't get me wrong, this place hosts some good up and coming bands. However, it also has some of the most immoral bartenders I've ever come across in NYC (give them a $20 for a beer and they give you back a $5, claiming you gave them a $10 - small things like that that are just not cool and apparently happen all too often there). This post is meant to be a warning to anyone thinking of going there to be careful with the staff so you don't get ripped off like I did. I will not be going back.

• Pros: music
• Cons: terrible staff

Very grrr baby!

I come here pretty often to see Twin-A. I really like this venue because you can get really close to the musicians and the cover is usually $10 or less to see about 4 bands. The drinks are decently priced but if you are sitting at the tables there is a drink minimum. The Lion's Den gets crowded pretty fast so be sure to get there early... who knows, maybe you'll discover a great new band!

The Matt Sandy Band are awesome!

by KerryAnn

This is a great space for live music. Great sound system. Went to the Matt Sandy Band with their wonderful original songs, dynamic front man and mindblowing back up singer.

It's a space that you must visit for live music.
