Houston St. btw Ludlow and Essex St.

Live music venue on the Lower East Side.  Half of the space (walled off from the stage area) is a bar, tight quarters but thankfully it’s a long bar.  The area in back is just a box and a stage, no frills, but not that there should be.  Service is good, beers are average prices, taste alright.
