95 Stanton St. · Lower East Side
Still pouring
The oldest and also the number one music venue on the Lower East Side. Covers tend to be cheap, the acts tend to be well above par, and people are there to have fun. There's even live band karaoke on Monday nights.

157 Bleecker St. · Greenwich Village
Closed; now Carroll Place
Nightly live music brings in tourists, students and locals to this popular Bleeker street haunt. And every Sunday you can hit the stage yourself and belt out your favorite song backed by a live band.
Brooklyn
-
46 3rd Ave. · Boerum Hill
Closed
This Brooklyn country music haven draws crowds for its live band Karaoke every other Monday night.
-
245 Grand St. · Williamsburg North Side
Closed
On Monday night this relaxed and classy neighborhood bar has a Karaoke night with a twist -- instead of canned music you get a one man and a Casio accompaniment.
-
256 Grand St. · Williamsburg North Side
Closed; now Southside Boxing
The working class roots that the area's many art school dropouts are at such pains to emulate are evident in spades at this Williamsburg dive, but there's no need to worry that the hipsters will take over. This bar has top notch hipster repellent - heavy metal. This leaves the associated regulars to profess their love for the free tater tots without worrying about the quality of their ironic lilt.
Already closed by 2009

97 Atlantic Ave. · Brooklyn Heights
A different business is licensed at this address: Brooklyn Bull
