Still pouring

Checked October 15, 2026.

Overview

Best avoided on weekends when hordes of tourists descend, but on a weeknight you can catch some of the best blues artists in the city, in an intimate setting the city without breaking the bank.

History

Still singing the blues one flight up

Terra Blues calls itself a modern-day blues saloon with a second-floor view of Bleecker Street, and it has presented live blues since 19901. Our advice was to skip the weekends and go on a weeknight, when some of the best blues in the city came without breaking the bank. It's still at 149 Bleecker Street1.
