About this business

Founded in 1961, the Bitter End is New York's oldest rock club.

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.
