What a fun night! Went to the 90s hip hop and R&B event and had the best time. The bar is small but never too crowded, the DJ was on point with his music, and the crowd great. Zero hostility and people who can handle their drinks and music. Will def be back!

Came here for a concert for Jamie Miller and it was a great show! The venue itself isn’t as conventional as just a stage and open floor. There were seated tables (first come first serve). Luckily we bought the table seatings so we were able to sit comfortably. The only requirement for seating is that each person needs to order at least 2 items. The menu itself had a decent amount of options for drinks but as for the food options, it was slightly pricier. There were definitely interesting choices for the food (such as cupcakes and mini pickles — which we ordered lol). Overall, it was a nice venue! Would come here again for another concert!

Came here for a concert Thursday night and thought the space was decent, not too crowded and the sound system was good. Had a great experience and will come back again if there are other events happening here that I’d be interested in seeing.

Had a blast seeing Action Bronson w/HGH. LPR was your typical general admission venue. If u want to be at the stage lineup early(respectable and amazing staff working the line) and don’t expect to go get drinks or use the bathroom. But that’s what you sacrifice for being close. Sound was amazing!!!

Like the space, its history (the location was formerly the legendary jazz venue The Village Gate), and the range of music presented at LPR. Ive enjoyed every program I attended there.

A truly fantastic experience. Really cool venue in a nice area, friendly staff, and reasonable enough drink prices when factoring in both NYC and concert pricing. The sound quality was top-notch and Ive never been to a show that kept you as comfortably cool as this one did. Id definitely love to come again for the right act.

Just arrived for a show. I scoured the website for information about food. There was none mentioned. Now I arrive for “ premium seating” to find that most are taken and our group has to sit scattered amongst others. There is a sign on the table that says “ dear seated guests Seats are available on a first come first serve basis. There is a minimum purchase of two menu items per person required. A gratuity of 20%will be added to all checks.”There is no visible menu. The information above was nowhere on the website. I feel very badly treated by this venue. All they had to do was tell us this in advance so we wouldn’t have eaten dinner elsewhere before arriving.

Went to see Zola Jesus last Thursday and it was amazing. The drinks were expensive of course, but I know this kind of places always have expensive drinks. The ambience was cool and dark. The The sound was really good, Zola was phenomenal, she sang with her piano, did some opera and played with her band and it was a really incredible experience. Love it.

I just went and saw my first show here tonight: This Will Destroy You.The venue atmosphere was good.The staff made it really easy and quick to get in tonight by checking peoples IDs and scanning tickets beforehand.The sound in this place was good.I think all the gender neutral bathrooms kind of threw people for a loop though. It was interesting watching people choose which bathroom they were going to use.

LPR is always a great vibe. It’s a basement situation, with a big dance floor and a bar. The theme den nights are great and the DJs always stick to the theme which is nice.

Review №18

Show was great, the music sounded really good, the lighting was handled well, and I appreciate that they have a little sitting area in the far corner for a more chill crowd if you can snag a seat. Security inside was kinda unnecessarily hostile though, off the cuff aggressive even when being asked simple questions. I get there are often bad actors in nightlife but the default shouldnt be that.

A good space is celebrated there on New Years Eve. Has a wardrobe for$ 5 to leave the jacket, two big toilets with 7-10 cabins each . Two bars .Stage. disco ball. Little lounge zone to have a seat. Its an underground level. My experience was good at the gimme gimme disco party , The staff was nice , the only situation we had on exit. Ppl who works in the wardrobe makes a view as they lost our jacket ( good one) but the cheap one they gave us back. It was so obvious that they wanted to hold it because through the curtain I can see how they discuss scenery to not return it. Everything was solved by my move to find my jacket inside . They not allowed me , but immediately they found my jacket .

Cozy, super cool - both the vibe and the amazing A/C on a brutal summer evening - SRO basement. Its somewhat obscured by the CVS awnings such that you look like youre in line to get Q-tips.The space comfortably accommodated several hundred standing fans, including the bar area. There are a lot of pillars breaking up the space, so sight lines arent all the same - but also, get there early enough and you can leeean and save your back. The bar at the back is well stocked, but it also means theres a constant hum of conversation in that direction. Best to head stage right to avoid that distraction. Theres a reasonable coat/ package check, too. Well-run place, and I look forward to my next visit.

I met my favorite pianist, unfortunately his show was sold out within a couple of days so I had to stand near the walkway and it was hard to enjoy the show with the waiters walking back and forth. Overall a clean and cozy environment.

Review №22

Small venue but in the best way. Im not a fan of huge places for a music concert, especially the ones with seats. This was a very open and close to everything venue. From what i can see not alot of rock bands on the line up but i was fortunate enough to make an anniversary show for The Bled with a few friends. After the show a few of the band members were hanging out scattered throughout the main dance floor area. I bought a poster and took it as a sign. I was able to get each member to sign it one at a time. I normally wouldnt just bother these guys but the opportunity was there that you just dont get in other venues. They were all nice enough to oblige and made it a very memorable show for me. What could easily be the last time i see them. In my opinion they could do with more shows like this. Underground heavy metal bands. Had a cbgbs vibe. I would def go back for simular shows.

I didn’t know standing tickets are the same as a table with seating but apparently premium is reserved. Everything else is first come first serve basis.I believe the venue was intimate and had good sound. It was well organized and they had friendly staff. I never had to stand in line for the restrooms and there was plenty of air where I sat but I’ve only seen contemporary pianists in this venue.I would come back to the venue but skip the food.

Had the privilege of attending the Paolo Nutini concert on Nov 14. The entire experience was incredible. Seamless booking on Dice app. Staff at the queue were friendly and informative. A brief purse search. The main room was electric. Sound, perfection. A bonus, it was nice and cool in a sold-out show (three rows back from the stage) which never happens at a concert. Great venue to enjoy live music and be able to immerse yourself in the experience!

Love this venue. its pretty much always has great space to accommodate for the shows theyre holding with a solid mosh pit sometimes and ample room to avoid it if youd like. getting out was a bit of a hassle with a coat check line and merchandise line really cramping the exit but otherwise will always be down to see a show here

I really had no idea how bringing my mother to a concert was going to go down. She had recently hurt her knee and has been unable to stand for an extended period of time. I reached out to the staff of LPR a few days in advance of the event and they promptly got back to me informing me of some accommodations that they would make for my mother. Sure enough, once I got down there, one of the staff greeted me, identified my mothers needs, and then got her squared away. Thank you so very much to the staff of LPR for making mothers day so lovely!

The venue had a beautiful performer tonight. Jesse J. LPR packed us in like cattle. No seating standing only, They opened the door at 6:30. The show started at 8:30. People pushing and shoving to try to get to te stage area. No security keeping people safe. It was not worth going even though the performance was great the manager of LPR only cared about making money and selling booze.

Review №28

Small venue with some table seating in the back and standing in the orchestra area. Good sound and reasonable drink prices. They serve food too but I have never eaten there. They dont have a coat check which is annoying if you go there in cold weather and dont have a seat. It gets hot during the show and you have to hold your coat the whole show.* I received a reply saying that they do have a coat check but when I was there on 11/18/19 I asked two different employees and both said there wasnt one.

Totally awesome venue! Went to see Frontline Assembly here I waited 15 years to see them! I like the decour it is almost this purple tint that burgundy type reflection that sets a romantic mood but also a darkness that only a venue like this can have. I really enjoyed the experience there and there is seating that not only looks stylish but gives you comfort and sense of being part of the underground music movement. I hope I made at least one friend here from the show and definitely enjoyed the experience. I ran into Bill Leeb before the show started it was a brief encounter outside the venue. But Ill never forget how cool the experience of being here was. It really felt a lot like that scene from the Matrix when Trinity, encounters Neo for the first time. What an awesome event thanks for the memories!

Abusive and toxic security staff. Why would you host a punk show and not expect people to crowd surf, only to get aggressive and shove them off the stage where they could get SERIOUSLY injured? I witnessed this female security guard with blond hair shove a guy off the stage, not even allowing him to walk off on his own, followed by all of the security guards bullying him afterwards when he got upset about it. Completely unprofessional and unprovoked.

Review №33

Last night 6/22 at The Early November show I witnessed a secuirty guard get unnecessarily combative with a crowd surfer. Woman was black with (tacky imo) blond hair in an updo. She also added a hazard into the situation by roping off the side stage so that crowd surfers could exit, which is what this man was trying to doIf no crowd surfing is permitted, they need to have signage up and remove everyone who crowd surfs from the venue, not just the person this miserable looking woman seemed to take issue withVenue is also way too cold, every damn time

Jessie’s Girl - Friday nights 80’s revival is simply the BEST 80’s night I’ve ever been to. If you’re a fan you MUST go. We were really blown away by the 3 singers and the band.

Came to LPR for Sasha Velour’s Nightgowns show and it was epic. Now, the venue makes you (obligatory) buy 2 items per person off their menu if you are sitting down to watch a show, I don’t drink so I had to pay $10 for a very sad and not so good cupcake…

I saw Riopy here and it was such a great performance! The event space was small, dark, and quaint and the acoustics perfect. My complaints were that the tables and chairs were all pushed close to each other and that we were forced to purchase a drink and meal (all expected, but you can hope). If I bought a standing room ticket, I would have been upset because the sectioned off area was a little weirdly placed. We still had a great time though! A worthwhile experience!

Always a great time in LPR.I’ve seen a handful of concerts here and their sound and light were always good. It can be hairy at the entrance though as it seems to be understaffed whenever I attend a concert. It would benefit from having a door host each for the guestlist, ticket buyers and pre ticketed guests.

Updated review: Came to LPR once again to see Echosmith, Weathers and Jayden Bartels on 2/13/20. Great venue and staff as always. Good prices on drinks too. Will definitely be coming back soon!Original review: Very nice little venue. Went to see Astrid S on 9/17. Be prepared to buy at least two items in the showroom, theyre reasonably priced. I felt a little unsafe since they didnt check bags, I asked them if bag checks were necessary and they said no. Other than that it was a pretty venue.

Review №68

Ive been attending shows since 74 and have seen every Miyavi show in NYC. In the true spirit of rock and roll venues, this place is a dump. Thats not bad in itself (CBGBs was a dump, too), but technical problems ruined a 20th anniversary show by Miyavi.The start was delayed about 30 min and stopped a few times during the show. Staff tried to correct/replace mix issues (an acoustic guitar that could not be heard) or defective wireless mics (they buzzed, crackled, or simply did not work). They never succeeded.The NYC audience did not hear 9 songs that Miyavi had to eliminate in order to make a hard 9:30PM curfew to accommodate an 11PM disco party at the venue. Many of those lost songs were last played live in 2010 (Irving Plaza) - if at all. While Miyavi did his best and apologized over and over, he could not relieve the venues failures. What a loss for the dedicated sold-out audience!Yes, the place is small (which means shoulder-to-shoulder and sweaty heat for a sold-out show), and youre standing on plywood, but thats cool for rock and roll because its all about the music and the performance. Bull**** equipment should never happen. Things break. Contingencies and functional redundant equipment should be in stand-by. Saying sorry does not compensate for a lost moment in time. There are differences between a rock and roll dump and a regular dump. On this night, Le Poisson Rouge was the latter.

Staff was very efficient. Once there was a good amount of people lined up outside, they started checking IDs and scanning tickets before the doors opened. It was very hot outside the night we attended, so their willingness to speed up the process of getting us inside was very much appreciated. Sound was great from the performers and the all gender bathrooms were clean.

Also most of the food stations serve the food at a fast time as well. Again a great place to visit!

The only time I went here was for a 21+ event that popped up on a ticket app. It was on a holiday weekend. Rather casual spot which was surprising considering it’s a decent place.

Based on my experience I would give 3 stars but I can see how I could rate it higher an a different night. I went to a sold out show and it was very crowded with poor sight lines.

Bouncers were very rude, looked at my friend group, and randomly said we couldnt come in without giving a reason.We told them we already had tickets and asked them why they werent letting us in but they refused to answer.We were some of the only POC there and a group of four guys so I think we didnt fit their aesthetic.I thought it was a queer friendly bar (the theme was very gay) so I didnt worry about being a group of guys until I got there and the crowd was almost only straight people.After I started recording, the bouncer *implied* it was because my friend was too drunk, but he had an injury and was walking with a limp. Moreover, there were literally WASTED white girls falling over themselves.We asked if we could get a refund and he told us to get one online and then the venue denied it via DICE.Really disappointing and lame for the bouncer to go on a power trip like that.

To be fair on my rating: I went for a Korean groups tour, so it was not for the experience of this place *as a club*Decent size venue, however the stage doesnt quite feel as *stage-like* as other venues. Also should probably have more solid barriers or enforce barrier limits a bit better.Bar staff was pretty friendly at the end of the night, didnt interact much with other venue staff.Also not too keen on the fact that they double book the venue with an early show and a late show as the early show (in this case the Korean group I went to see) really feels like it gets shafted from the full concert experience.

Lots of great bands come through here and I like the fun music Fridays they do every week. It can get a little overcrowded by the stage and bar. When they open the other half with the other bar it makes it a little better but since you cant see the stage from there it doesnt help the crowding by the stage much. The is no wifi or reception down there either which is super annoying.

Lovely intimate show venue. The tables are beautiful & the drinks are delicious. The show I attended had a two drink minimum which is easy to accumulate. The staff were very helpful with me and my walker. The accoustics arent amazing but it doesnt matter if the artist is playing a low key show. The one I saw had only a piano and it was the perfect venue for it. Though it is inside & vaccination cards were necessary.

Do Not ever book the standing room only tickets.You’re either smushed against the loud bar (a new keg install shot beer into my eye, bartender gave me napkins) where it’s loud, or against the side wall where you’re getting bumped into over and over.If we had had the seated tickets, it would have been better.Now we saw a piano show, had it have been a rock concert or rap show, maybe a different story.

Great venue to watch live performances. We were sitting in seats farthest away from the stage on the main floor and we still felt very close and intimate with the performers. The bartenders make excellent cocktails! Theres room to dance in the back if you were so inclined. Im definitely coming back to see other shows.

Great venue. Plenty of space for what its marketed towards and getting service at the bar isnt difficult. Lounge area available to cool off and decompress if needed. Ideal layout. Expensive bar tho

I would say the service was absolutely awful, but we weren’t even served during our 2-hour event. We were one of the first tables to sit for a comedy show and weren’t even acknowledged. Our server was overwhelmed and taking care of all the other tables in his area. We called over another server who stated our server would be with us. As 15 minutes go by she realized he was not going to make it over so she took care of us. Unfortunately, at this point, we were only able to have a round of drinks. No opportunity for a second or even some food.After attempting to email the facility and reach out to someone, they failed to show any concern and also proceeded to tell me my phone call with someone from the venue was fabricated, even though I have a valid screenshot of the call - dates and times included. They even verified that I called the correct number. But yes, please continue to tell me I’m wrong. ALMOST as comical as the comedy show I had attended at LPR.Do not believe the website. Food is not served for sit down events - only drinks. The full menu is NOT available. Just a mediocre cheese plate or charcuterie board. Although if you call ahead and ask they will tell you the menu will be available. We drove 4 hours so we were disappointed to say the least.

Saw On Being an Angel, Juliana Hatfield, & Lemonheads on 12/15/22. Venue is really a neat little place. Most importantly all 3 acts venue sound wise sounded incredible. OBaA and Lemonheads were full band, sound during their sets was incredible, Juliana played solo electric and was as awe inspiring as ever. Staff we interacted with was friendly. Reminded me of so many smaller venues I would see shows at while growing up near NYC. If I had to complain about ONE THING its the forced use of an app for tickets. I have an old phone and had my wife not came with me IDK if/how i couldve gotten my tickets. Giving older people or people who choose not to use newer technology a way to pick up their tickets at will call at the minimum would be fair. Outside of this? No other complaints. Great venue to see a show. Great sound levels and whatnot from the venue. Highly recommended.

Saw The Birthday Massacre perform here and it was great!! The staff took great care of me when I got overheated and passed out (combo of that and a neurological issue I have - I didnt know the lights were going to be so flashy for this set and my brain decided to take a vacation from consciousness - ask in advance if the performances will have strobe effects!) - no fault of the venue or the band, just happens to me in big crowds / shows with certain lights sometimes. I was taken care of the whole way through until I came to, given lots of water and kept a close eye on me to make sure I didnt get hurt. Going above and beyond for the attendees - thats what makes a place worth going to!Some places arent as kind, and will throw you out thinking youre drunk or on drugs, instead of asking if you have a health condition (its happened to me before.. At Slimelight, London). These people take care of you if anything ever happens. Makes the whole experience very welcoming! Thanks for a great night guys!! 🖤

Very intimate venue in a good way; good sound quality, clean bathrooms, very nice staff, and a good size seating area. I also really, REALLY appreciate that they actually do check your covid vaccine cards at the door and do so conscientiously (marching names to ID for example). Thanks LPR for making it a safer place for all of us attendees (and staff) by doing that.

Went last Saturday with DH and friends...and ooh we had a blast! Jessies Girl and Party Rock bands performed our favorite songs. We danced through the night on floor and stage! :D We could tell everybody was there with the same intent: enjoy each others company and the bands. Crowd was enthusiastic and mostly in their 30s/40s. Musicians are very charismatic and top notch, what a great vibe. Not bad for a cold night in the city!

Excellent venue. The stage is up close so you get an intimate experience with the performers. The ability to sit at a table so close to the stage is great, I wish more concert venues would be like this. Servers were nice and attentive. The food was good and the prices were fair. Id definitely come back.

Saw domi and jd beck (jazz duo) the other night and they sounded fantastic. drinks were great and bartenders were nice.i’m just so tired of venues overselling tickets, really kills the whole experience. there are giant pillars throughout the venue that obstruct the view of the stage. the place was so packed that people were passing out left and right (AT A JAZZ SHOW IN 2022).you could not even walk to exit in the back of the crowd.i will not be returning here even if it’s an artist i enjoy.

Recently saw a Jazz show (Julian Lage) here and coming out of(?) a panorama, I forgot what its like to be at a packed show. If the stage were a bit higher, this would be a better experience for the standing crowd. Otherwise, not a bad venue, just not a large one.

Review №144

Maybe its a lack of staff or something. Im not sure but the venue was not good. Loved the artist but I could tell even he was frustrated. The line organization was a shitshow. Imagine coming 2 hrs early as a vip, and then having half the rest of the vip line moved ahead of you. Nobody knew what was going on except for one woman and it showed. The sound was bad half of the time. There were so many issues with the audio, it was almost laughable. I hope they can get it together becaue the venue looks nice.

This is such a sweet venue. The atmosphere is classy, laid back, and low key. Ive seen two shows here so far and they were both awesome. The sound is great, and there really isnt a bad place to sit or stand.Phone service is pretty limited, but youre at a concert, so who cares.

Great place for a small, intimate show. The only reason I took down a star is for the ladies restroom. Cant speak to the mens but 2 of the 6 stalls in the ladies restroom were unusable due to: door was missing on one, the toilet seat was broken and on the floor in another. One of the stalls also had a seat, which was like half the size of the bowl. Lastly, only 1 of two sinks were useable. The other sink was missing the faucet. It was a light night, and there was a line. Id hate to be there on a packed night.

Review №154

The former home of the historic Village Gate Theater, where the likes of Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin once graced the stage, this subterranean venue generally features very good sound. Seated shows tend to suffer from the typical jazz seating arrangement, i.e. patrons are crammed into place and may have to contort their head in strange angles to see the stage. General Admission shows tend to be a nicer experience, although sold out shows can be jam-packed. The VIP section is tucked into a back corner on a platform. The bar offers a decent selection of cocktails and has solid food. Be forewarned that your phone will likely have minimal service this far underground.

Review №155

The place is cool, no doubt! It gives you that hidden underground type of place which is really cool. I do have to call out the other points as well.For the Reggaeton Garden event they were ripping people off on drinks and bad!!The lines to get a drink were... somewhat long but the main problem was that it took forever to get even one drink.Security did their checks on all the ladies purses which is good but guys were not checked at all, if someone were to bring a weapon and start something there, we all would have been screwed due to improper check on the guys.The songs/tracks were amazing, they did get the people going but the DJ wasnt thats good, they just played one track after the other basically. End the end it was okay just those point had to be called out mainly the security safety one, since these days anything in that magnitude could happen anywhere.

Standing room area is a complete joke. We had to go to the back bar area and stand behind a rope with an incredibly limited amount of space. I dont recommend coming here if there arent table tickets available. Its my first time here, and certainly my last. Standing room tickets are not worth it here. Ive been in standing room areas in other venues; this place has it the worst.

I was here to see Post Animal. The venue was great in that the Sound and Lighting was all professional production level but the venue is small and intimate.

Review №166

Went for the MIYAVI show on Saturday 10/8/2022. Venue was extremely disorganized. They failed to separate VIP and regular lines, then gave super ambiguous instructions. Then once VIPs were finally inside (a half hour late) they separated the lines into merch and meet and Greet AFTER the back half of the line basically was told to stand where the meet and greet line was so they cut in line and then got priority on the extremely limited seating. Venue is basically just a barn with a plywood floor, and a tiny raised seating area in the back for ~25 people. Bar mixed drinks extremely weak, and half the audio equipment didnt work. Staff was extremely rude to everyone in line with (understandably) questions since the organization was a mess. Show started over a half hour late, and they werent allowed to stay open late, so despite paying for a full show, only got 3/4 of a show. Im not even sure I would attend a show here for free, Ive seen more organized high school recitals.

Review №167

I feel like its 90s night every night, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Theoretically they rotate the schedule of themed cover bands, but regardless of what the theme is if the night, its sure to be a good time.If youre a serious music goer, this isnt the place for you. If youre not interested in carrying on a conversation with your friends, that also wont happen. But if youre in for a good time casually singing along to some throwback hits, then buy a ticket in advance and skip the line.

Im not generally that into clubs and parties, but this place is just great. It has so many awesome events, from the 80s/90s parties on the weekends to the Art Battle competitions they host. It can of course get crowded, with copious amounts of drunk people bashing into each other, but thats all par the course for these things. Still, one of the best places in town for a night out on the weekend.

Went for a show - got the tickets with seating.Seating around the stage was a bit awkward (the angles/orientation of tables and chairs)There are pretty good views of stage though, since the place isnt too large, so fairly intimate.I thought sound for the show could have been better - the music from the instruments was considerably louder than the vocals which was unfortunate since the singer was the main event.2 item minimum (didnt really seem enforced)Food:The sandwiches were very good - spicy chicken was decently spicy and tender; French dip sandwich - moist meat, the dip was very lightCocktails for $14 and beers on tap for around $7Service was okay. Settling the bill took a bit longer than Id prefer.

I came here for Jessies Girl and 80s night and had such a good time! The band definitely made the whole night but it helped that the bartenders were quick and helpful. The drinks cost what youd expect them to, which isnt cheap. It looks like they offer bottle service too. Expect bachelor/bachelorette parties and groups of college students when youre there!

This place was great until May 26th, at the Rhythm Revue Freedom party when the venue decided that having nowhere for this older crowd to sit was a good idea. All of a sudden, they had only a bottle service seating area. And after speaking, not happily might I add, to management dis they bring seating back out. Will be questioning whether I will return for the next dance party.

One of the most solid unchanging venues in the city. Ive seen everything from contemporary classical to metal to rnb dance parties here.

The show I saw was magnificent. The service was very good, and the chance to sit at a table and have food and drinks while watching a show is very civilized, and not done enough. The draft beer was very tasty, the tater tots were also good, but the salad I ordered (while hearty and very healthy) needed variety and perhaps longer contact with the dressing before serving.

Great venue in downtown New York City. One of the best the city has to offer and truly independent and non-corporate!Used to be called the Village Gates in the 70es and is now owned and operated by musicians who created a space to host one of the most varied, eclectic and interesting music programming the city has to offer.The venue offers food and drinks, seated or standing, with a stage that can also be setup in the round and it comes with a fantastic sound system, modern state of the art mixing consoles and operated by knowledgeable staff and great sound engineers who make things sound great night after night.
