Hey I'm looking for a bar that has good live music in New York City. Ideally manhatten. It would be nice if it were cheap too. Can anybody help me out?
What. Kind. Of. Music.
Bar 55 has good cheap jazz.
Cake Shop has pastries in the front room, sometimes indie in the back room.
Bowery Ballroom, Knitting Factory, Webster Hall, and the Warsaw are all venues with bars that do a lot of indie shows.
Birdland has big band that you cannot afford.
Jazz Standard, Village Vanguard, the bar at Jazz at Lincoln Center have excellent jazz that you might be able to afford if you save up.
Iridium has Les Paul.
Our dearly departed Moiche used to swear by this site.

She's dead, Mer. Sorry. Reopening as "The Music Hall of Williamsburg". Yes, everyone thinks the name sucks. It may or may not have been purchased by the new drummer for the Fiery Furnaces.
