A small bar with a smaller room behind it, running live music every single night: Balkan brass, Peruvian cumbia, jazz, whatever the calendar says. The musicians are often exceptional and the room holds maybe fifty people.

There is no ticket. A hat goes round, and the whole thing runs on people putting real money in it.

What to know

Get there early for the back room. Cash for the hat.

Going? Tell them MUSEENYC sent you. It's not a discount and there's nothing to redeem — we just want them to know where you heard it.

Getting in
The back room passes a hat. Pay properly: it is how the musicians get paid.
