The Bitter End

4.4

About this business

Founded in 1961, the Bitter End is New York's oldest rock club. There is no food served here, so you do not have to worry about the sounds of tinkling glasses and quaking crockery distracting the likes of Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond and Bob Dylan. Over the years, a number of big name comedians have performed here as well, including Woody Allen, George Carlin and Joan Rivers. A brick wall forms the backdrop for all these acts, including many you may not have heard about.

On a business trip, headed in for a random after-dinner outing, and saw the David Kolker Band. They were great, especially their slower songs. You can pretty much bet that you'll see great music there any time you walk in. Sound man could lower the volume a bit, since it's a pretty shallow room from the stage out.
