Description

As if a college-admissions officer ran Joe's Pub, this Village lounge takes pride in diversity through its "genre-blind booking." And they really mean it: gypsies, comedians, Latin troubadours, jazz cats, and grizzled rockers are in regular rotation on the venue's petite, quarter-circle stage. Also, it's kind of romantic. The candlelit seating area is cozy and swank, with a curving row of velvet-cushioned ottomans and accompanying lucite tables . . . that glow!

2004 | Best bar to get romantic and play grown-up

Pull out your date's chair and, without missing a beat, boldly ask for "two of your finest mojitos." The waitress replies, "Good choice"; you nod. Private tables, and when the lights go down, you can actually see the performers. This is JOE'S PUB. Dance, comedy, poetry, and music from folk to hip-hop; sooner or later, it turns up here. More »

You could devote yourself to music full-time. You could hit loft parties, WOMEX, and Arts Presenters conferences, and sit through all the acts at Sidewalk. You could log hours Napster-file-sharing and lurking around music listservs. Become a religious reader of every article in CMJ, Global Rhythm, Spin, Vibe, La Banda Elastica, Billboard, and Pollstar. Put in years booking SummerStage. Then maybe you'd know from good music. But JOE'S PUB programming wizards Walter Durkacz and Bill Brigin... More »

Beth Orton

By Mikael Wood | Wed, May 09, 2012

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from this English singer-songwriter, whose most recent album, 2006’s Comfort of Strangers, found her moving away entirely from the so-called folktronica sound she helped pioneer. When I caught Orton at a Los Ang... More »
Aaron Lazar

By David Finkle | Wed, April 11, 2012

Lazar had one of the top five, maybe top three, voices of all leading men on Broadway. Better yet, he’s a ball of fire when he’s just being himself, and on the cabaret stage you can’t do much else. He’s handsome, funny, self-deprecating, and compl... More »

Works by New York composers—including Don Byron's jazzy "Four Thoughts on Marvin Gaye" and Julia Wolfe's anxious "Early That Summer"—is the secret theme behind this adventurous string quartet's new Innova release, Heavy. If Kronos represents class... More »
BILLY WHO?

By Sharyn Jackson | Wed, February 22, 2012

Billy Crystal is making his ninth outing as the host of the Oscars this year, but our favorite local host has got him beat. It’s Academy Awards ceremony number 11 for Murray Hill when he presides over his annual Oscar Party at Joe’s Pub. And this ... More »

A great venue for seeing well-known and up-and-coming artists. You can reserve a table in order to have some food, or you can stand at the bar with a nice cocktail and enjoy the show. It isn't pretentious! So keep your eye on their events calendar and if you see something you want to check out, GO.
