Arlene’s Grocery doesn’t have anything to do with groceries – not since 1995, when a Puerto Rican bodega was turned into this bar/music club on the Lower East Side. Considered by many to be one of the best small clubs to hear live music in the city, its many patrons include celebrities such as Clive Davis, Mick Jagger, Bowie, Natalie Portman, Joaquin Phoenix, Mel Brooks, William Dafoe…
It’s a very eclectic mix -Rock and Roll karaoke one night per week, indie, punk, and country. Good music and cheap cover charges help fuel its popularity.
Cool. Have a nice weekend!
Great pictures lately! Really give a feel for the music scene!
Great picture! I’m excited to be visiting Arlene’s on the 28th when The Peaks are playing.
Oh how fun! What a great idea, and a colorful place!
