The Living Room
The Living Room is a cool alternative and fantastic counterpart to its noisier neighbor, Pianos. Whereas Pianos rocks, The Living Room sways. Most of the acts that grace the small stage in the back of this long room are of the acoustic singer/songwriter variety. This place gained its notoriety from its original locale that was just around the corner and half the size of this bi-level, shabby-chic cash-only joint. The bar in front is neighborly, even showing baseball games on TVs over the bar. Through a velvet curtain is a back room of wooden chairs and little tables, not to mention nightly live bands. Rather than a cover, this space generally imposes a one-drink minimum per set and the standard passed bucket o’ tips. The minimalist lounge upstairs offers a piano and privacy, and little else.

Living Room is the shit

Fantastic place! I've been here several times and have had uniformly great experiences each time. The music, from mostly undiscovered local talent, is always good and the drink prices are what you'd expect from a LES spot. If you are into mostly acoustic, singer-songwriter sort of fare, you should definitely check this place out. Also, almost all of the shows are free (I've only paid one cover so far), but they ask you to buy at least a drink while you're there, which you were gonna do anyway! Definitely hit this spot up.

great music

One more reason to come to the Lower East Side. This place has new bands/artists coming through every night of the week, some of which make it big (think Norah Jones). Bottom line, there's always good music playing. Check it out.

Awesome shows!

The Living Room is one of my favorite music venues in New York; the shows are great, and usually don't have cover charges! So this place won't put a dent in your wallet; the drinks are also reasonable. The atmosphere is great, relaxed and fun, so it's a perfect place for listening to music and for socializing. Definitely a must-see place!
