great place!

by alexmralex

Walk into an place that says "We have drinks, music, and a place for you to park it." Drinks were decently cheap on the block. Music was inviting and sound was even better. Wasn't crazy packed so I could grab a seat. I will definitely be bringing some friends out for a Saturday party night.

Overall Great Experience

by FloAdams

When I moved to New York this fall and started to explore the city, one of the first places I checked out, on the recommendation of a few friends from back home, was The Living Room. I fell in love with the place right away - not only are the rooms charming and tastefully decorated with art and comfy couches, but the drinks are affordable, the music is usually free, and the sound is amazing. Ever since I've made it a regular choice for a fun night out.

Sounds good to me

by RogerVermillion

I love seeing shows at The Living Room. I'm a bit of an audiophile so when I go to see music, an enthusiastic performance is not always enough. The Living Room seems to be one of a short list of local venues that have attentive sound guys that make bands sound amazing. The main room has a great natural sound for their genres, and the live mixes are consistently good. Really great room...

Best Place for Live Music

by daisypoler

The music is always amazing here! I can’t say there’s ever been a time when I’ve been disappointed with the live music at The Living Room. It’s small and intimate so you can always see the performers and hear the music without having to squeeze through a crowd to reach the front. The acoustics in the room are phenomenal. Definitely one of my favorite spots in NYC to go have a few drinks and listen to some heartwarming tunes.

Finally found Folk 'n' Bluegrass

by zchase169

I finally found a place in NYC where I can feel like a kid a little bit. Some of the acts that blow through this place remind me of some of the tunes my Dad and his friends used to play at family bbqs. I grew up on bluegrass music, and when they get it here, they got it HERE. The bartenders even make a sweet tea fire fly vodka sour. If anything could have made my favorite drink better, it was sour mix. Absolutely brilliant crafty bartenders doing what's best: being innovative.

New York's best venue

by LEVYs

The Living Room’s atmosphere is homey and very comfortable. The low stage gives off an intimate feeling, which I personally loved. The staff was awesome and their photo booth helped me remember (most of) my night. I would definitely go back.

Warm and Welcoming

by thisbaldguy

Everything about the living room is warm and welcoming. The people there are hearty, down to earth, and genuinely unassuming. The artists I’ve seen there have always been captivating. The low stage makes it super intimate too. The cute waitress that worked there on Thursday night didn't hurt either.

Best music venue out there

by BC1115

Really cool music, a low key atmosphere, two floors for performances and a Photobooth! The Living Room is the place to go on the lower east side. A friend of mine told me about it, so I went to go check it out and since then I’ve fallen in love with the place.

Great place on Ludlow

by rebecks2202

The Living Room is the my fave place on Ludlow to hang out. Pianos isn’t so bad, just the guys that hangout there are kinda pushy. I’d really prefer The Living Room because it’s low key. I like that you can talk with your friends and not have to deal with annoying people. The staff is super friendly. I wish I lived closer so that I can be a regular.

favorite hang out on ANY night

by rendiohead

It’s a Monday night and you have no idea where to go? Go to the Living Room on the Lower East Side. It’s guaranteed to have awesome bands playing every night with drinks at a chill, cozy bar. I’ve loved coming to the Living Room for two years now and I’m never disappointed. There are always really fun and unique people to chat with at the bar, and the staff is always friendly. DEF recommend coming here!!
