Great place! This place is very selective of the musicians that play here, so you are always guaranteed good music when you walk through their doors. Read More On Citysearchmdagan 7/1/2009
Disappointing sound I was excited to see my friend play here because of the Bitter End's history, but ended up being very disappointed in the sound. I'm sure the sound system is "modern" as they say, but they need a new sound guy. He seems to have lost his high-end hearing, and cranked the treble way up. There was no "kick" to the low end. The amount of reverb could have been dialed back a bit as well; it was distra... Read More On Citysearcherasure76 1/20/2009
a weird place I came here with a band from my area and I am 18, and I was told I was not allowed to sit down unless I bought 3 drinks. I think this is a stupid rule, and the employees were not nice at all. the place was cool, an underground music place and it was a fun concert but very discouraging and i would never go back.

Landmark music bar The Bitter End has seemingly been around forever. It is a perfect, cozy place on Bleeker street to catch some great, unknown folk or rock artist. The bar can get a little crowded, and don't count on the best service or food, but if you feel like listening to some great music, check it out. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 12/15/2008

See new talent at a classic night spot We came upon the club by recommendation to hear live music while entertaining visitors. I frankly haven't heard about it until I was reminded that Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, and Bob Dylan played here. It's a NY landmark so take a look at the mural of past performers who played there. If you don't mind the cramp venue, it's worth a visit. Read More On Citysearchjavajoop 10/24/2004
Mixed Bad on Bleecker Bitter End is an instituition and a place I love so I'm gonna have to do this. The talent is exceptional and it's a great venue for Bleecker because the crowd is old enough and classy enough that you don't have to worry about getting your shoes puked on. My problem is the crouchy help. Do they ever get new wait or bar staff here? It's like a bad union shop where the most bitter (sorry for the pun... Read More On CitysearchVampire 12/10/2002
Great Talents! A really intimate venue...a great place to check out your favorite bands or to scope a new, hot talent.
It's a tight fit if you come with bigger groups but it's worth it if you're there to check out the music.
18 and over nights are a little annoying.... Read More On Citysearchnyugirl 7/6/2002
