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.

Grateful for the chance to perform on the stage where legends were born . By the looks many more will come from that stage also. Take care!

I have never seen a venue treat their artists as bad as this place. They act as if they don't want people here. The Bitter End is a suitable name for this place cause everyone is so bitter. Never support this crap hole!
