More about the Club
Since 1961, many legends have launched their careers in front of The
Bitter End’s famous brick wall. This old-school New York bar is
perfect for watching new artists play their first gigs in the city.
This venue offers good service, great live music and is a part of
history. This landmark venue was once the stomping ground of standup
and music legends including George Carlin and Bob Dylan. Comfortable
and homey, the expansive interior is filled with intimate wooden
tables, and the well-worn bar serves brews and mixed drinks to an
audience of tourists and performers’ friends. There are four to six
live acts each night, ranging from ballad songstresses to rock bands
or funk groups.

This landmark venue was once the stomping ground of standup and music legends including George Carlin and Bob Dylan.

Decades later, the spotlight is still on the stage. The owner, who’s had a hand in the nightclub since 1968, continues to give up-and-coming musicians a chance. There are four to six live acts each night, ranging from ballad songstresses to rock bands or funk groups. And while the venue maintains a sense of authenticity, the staff takes pride in its modern sound system.
