CBGB

315 Bowery, New York, NY, 10012
at Bleecker St.

Classic, not Classy.

  • Yes, I would go back!

CBGB is WAY past its prime in terms of the acts it books - but still offers the BEST sound in the city, and a very good venue for bands to try out their stuff in a semi-pro setting; relatively large stage, lighting, etc. If you're going there to see a specific band, be sure to try and determine an accurate set time or you may suffer through hours of unwanted aural disturbance. Oh yes, be sure to poop before entering!

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
