The Bowery Electric Concerts 2024-2025

Love these small clubs that seem endless in the Big Apple. 1st time here, as I continue to enjoy the upward career of my friend Hannah Ray Teal and her band. (Please check her out on Spotify!) That's her in the picture...and doing her thing in a small intimate room right off the bar. Typical of these venues is many acts, one after the other, on a given night. Some sound issues apparently, change in set times and general "non-structured" kinda vibe, which all goes with the territory...:) No worries, Hannah and her band adapt easily and were great, crowd was cool and enthusiastic, drinks flowing just fine..,:) Ran into some "old" friends, made some new ones (including a couple of the performers, which is really cool..:) and just a general great NYC type of night...perfect...:) PS...I didn't eat, so no review on food.

Came here to see my friend’s show. Was very excited about supporting her. Unfortunately, at the fault of the venue—missed it. If you’re a musician thinking of booking this venue, either don’t, or make sure you tell your friends directly where they should be going for your set (there are two floors). Upon arrival, the person greeted my friend and I, asked us which show we were there to see, and directed us downstairs. An hour and a half later, we thought we were waiting for our friend’s set still, the greeter came down in a panic, and told us that our friend had already played upstairs. Without giving us a chance to respond, he claimed he had directed us to the upstairs room, and blamed us for going to the wrong place. It’s clear to us that what happened is he made a mistake, realized it, and freaked out. But to handle it by angrily blaming us is bizarre / uncalled for, and made an unpleasant experience worse. This was my first time at the venue so I would not have walked downstairs of my own accord. I did not even realize there was a downstairs until he pointed it out. To top things off, when we exited the venue shortly after, he cheerfully said, “Have a good night!” When watching the sets downstairs, I was already planning on recommending the venue to other musician friends because I thought everything seemed smooth. Definitely won’t be recommending it now. I wanted to tell his manager but didn’t see management around, so came here to warn ahead of booking this venue: Either don’t do it, or make sure you tell your friends directly where they should be going for your set! Def one of the worse/weirdest customer service experiences. We’re upset that we missed the chance to support our friend, and instead of offering anything for their mistake, like free drinks or food, they blamed us / acted like it wasn’t a big deal in the end.

Very kool venue. Listened to some up and coming bands on the circuit in a very quaint setting. Bar only. No food served so eat before you get there.

I’ve been here a few times but most recently this past weekend for the electric feel dance party. It starts later (11 PM). The city was oddly less crowded than usual so this time pace was also not as packed this time. But me and my friends got on the dance floor in the back and pretty soon, the place was jamming out! Definitely plan to come back for more dancing nights out!

Great atmosphere. My band had a show and setup, back line and staff were great to work with. Well stocked bar and decent prices for guests at the venue. Two levels, each with their own vibe. Had a great time and will keep an eye out for upcoming events and shows when I’m back visiting the city.
