It’s a great space to enjoy live music. The nice interior enhances the experience with awesome musicians, an amazing crowd, and a cool atmosphere.

Nice venue with cool staff. Bathroom line moves fast, drinks are insanely expensive but not for Manhattan. Sound guy was absolutely excellent, especially considering the strange layout of the stage which Im sure has nightmarish acoustics.

Review 3 (2024-09-27 - Rating: 4)
Love the intimacy of this live music venue. They play pretty good pre-show music like groovy RnB, Erykah Badu vibe.

Great sound and atmosphere for live music! My only hold up was that tiny well liquor drinks were $13 a pop, so if you’re drinking be prepared to spend some money.

Nublu is a wonderful intimate space to enjoy drinks and music with new and old friends. I attended an album release for Homeboy Sandman and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I will definitely be checking their events calendar to see what else they have coming up.

Amazing venue to catch a show. You can mingle in the crowd or check out the vantage from up and above the band. Very unique stage set up where the band is essentially in the middle of the room. Definitely will be back. Bartenders were quick and drink prices werent egregious.

One of the best venues for live music in NYC, always a good time

Review 8 (2020-01-18 - Rating: 4)
Fun place for great music! We heard two nights of the Winter Jazz Fest here, and appreciated the personnel and acoustics. Unfortunately, there is very limited seating. Be prepared to stand or to rush for the few seats behind the stage.

Review 9 (2024-10-19 - Rating: 5)
Great place with cool lighting and projections during shows. It has the upstairs behind the stage so you can see the band from 360 angles

Review 11 (2024-04-18 - Rating: 5)
Fantastic intimate venue with very nice staff! Great variety of smaller musical acts come through. Crowd skews younger, but is a mixed bunch with good vibes.

Awesome live music venue. Great ambience. The doorman is always nice and on point. The music is always top quality.

Venue was great and the atmosphere felt electric for both shows!It was truly an honor to attend tonights event and looking forward to see these two again. Thanks @Nublu

An underground jazz club. Went to a 7:30-10pm show. New age jazz. Drinks are Hella expensive but it is worth it. Loved it

Review 15 (2024-06-04 - Rating: 5)
A little treasure for seeing live music. Super-cozy with the stage in the center. Sitting on risers behind the stage puts you within feet of the performers

Review 16 (2022-10-18 - Rating: 4)
Ive seen some great shows here, but pro tip: when you charge me the cost of an entire bottle for a single drink and carefully measure one oz of liquor with a jigger, it only means I am not going to buy another drink, resulting in a net loss of liquor sales.Not sure how long this place is going to stay open. Space is wonderful, sound is great, they book good acts. Its a shame about the price gouging.

Review 17 (2023-06-05 - Rating: 5)
One of my favorite hang out spot with other Creatives and Musicians. Producer Mondays would be my routine.Just finished performing with one of my bros. Best way to wrap up this visit before I fly back to home to the 808.

Review 18 (2018-04-07 - Rating: 4)
Ive heard some of the most top notch artist here! The layout of the venue is dope. The sound is pretty good in the audience. Its a struggle to hear yourself on stage. Vocalists and musicians. So everyone ends up turning their monitors up too much. The Bartenders are pretty efficient. Its not a huge place but the design makes use of the space very well. Theresa balcony and upstairs bar. Great photo opps throughout especially near coat check and the bathrooms

Review 19 (2024-05-26 - Rating: 5)
Drinks A+ ✅ Music vibe is 🔥

Review 20 (2024-09-04 - Rating: 5)
Saw the band Toy Machine on 9/1 never heard of them b4 but they were lit. The lead singer was amazing. Where are they playing next?

Review 21 (2018-01-15 - Rating: 4)
It’s a cool venue, but every time I go there the show always starts like an hour later than posted and then I have to leave early instead of seeing everything. And that’s my only complaint. Otherwise great space, vibes, and energy.

Great venue, hip but not pretentious vibe, great progressive jazz

Review 24 (2022-07-24 - Rating: 4)
Small and quaint venue in alpahabet city. As you open the heavy curtains you step down to a dance floor and small stage. There are two bars on main floor and mezzanine. Top shelf liquor available at Manhattan prices. Bathrooms are unisex. The wall decor were projected images according to theme. Place started getting crowded after midnight.

Review 25 (2024-08-04 - Rating: 5)
One of my favorite venues to play or go see a show.

Review 26 (2024-01-23 - Rating: 5)

Nublu classic or new, you can count on talented performers.

Review 29 (2022-07-26 - Rating: 4)
Low key night club with center stage. the space is little tight and it has a mezzanine for you can observe the stage from higher view.Cool vibes and staff and friendly

Review 30 (2023-10-22 - Rating: 5)
Intimate setting for up and coming independent and young musicians of all genres from pop, jazz, r&b, to funk. An old school live music scene in NYC.

Review 31 (2019-11-09 - Rating: 5)
Easily one of the best clubs in the city for seeing incredible live music just about any night of the week. Definitely the closest in vibe and overall feeling like a late night hang in Nola!

Review 32 (2023-01-13 - Rating: 5)
Great vibes, good prices and nice staff.... Great music

Review 33 (2019-06-25 - Rating: 4)
Great venue, would get a 5 but... they need to inform us about their ticket pricing. Advertisement says one price, but at the door its something else. At least let the people know.

Review 34 (2021-12-12 - Rating: 5)
Amazing music and vibes, not very crowded , so can dance and enjoy ur night without people pushin each other 😄

Review 35 (2019-08-19 - Rating: 5)
You just need to go. Of course, some nights the offer may be strange or meant for an eclectic taste, but the Nublu team makes an undeniable year in effort to bring quality music to the NY underground.

Review 36 (2023-05-02 - Rating: 5)
Very fun place to see live music. Aside from the snooty bartender who added her tip to the bill.

Review 37 (2018-04-21 - Rating: 5)
My first time in the new spot. Still has that Nublu vibe, great staff, and an upgrade on the sound system. As a musician and a listener that is important.

Some of the best jazz in town.

Review 41 (2018-03-25 - Rating: 5)
Great place to kick back and relax. Drinks are good , and speedy service.

Review 42 (2018-04-20 - Rating: 4)
I got to say this is a pretty fun spot for a night of dancing. I think the only thing that is weird is you have to get through the dancefloor first in order to get to coat check and whatnot. Bar service was pretty good as they have two: one right on the dance floor, and one up the stairs overlooking everything. I would definitely not mind ending the night here.

Review 43 (2019-11-08 - Rating: 5)
Have been here for several live music events, and i always have a blast. Specially for the ones with dancers like layerythm on the last Tuesday of every month. Great venue for these types of parties, and just a nice place with a good vibe overall. Would recommend it to anyone.

Producer Mondays! Ray Angry as the musical puppet master. Brilliant club, great atmosphere

Review 46 (2018-11-27 - Rating: 5)
One of my favorite places in NY that is still around after the slew of closings in the past 10 years. Changes to the venue make here a must visit if you are in the area of visiting from out of town.

Really cool music venue. Interesting layout, with a balcony over the stage, 2 bars, and plenty of bathrooms in the back. Came here to see Aberdeen and NYChillharmonic, 2 great bands on a Friday Night, was able to get up to the balcony where it was less crowded.

Review 56 (2023-01-15 - Rating: 4)
Cool little music venue. Nice layout and interior. Plenty of bathrooms. But probably exceeded safe capacity for the Winter Jazz Festival (which wasn’t as jazzy as expected but still had several exceptional musicians).

Ive been here several times over the years... although I live on the other coast..The vibe, energy, service, staff and talent have all been top notch every single time..The sound and sightlines [both very important in this hybrid, LIVE/DANCE venue. Tge attention to the right notes and details will remind you that this is an Artist-Owned venue and the folks behind the NUBLU rand really know their business!

Intimate small low key live music venue hosting really original groups. This place is good if you are really into hearing music from some of the most original artists who you probably wont hear on the radio. Its not about a fancy bar or table service. Its about the music.

Three unforgettable experiences (in reverse chronological order):- Kate Gentile’s and Matt Mitchell’s soothing co-ferocity (SB’s Brooks Headley among the listeners for the openers)- Haldeman’s first solo live performance- a safe jam between pandemic waves that included Brad Mehldau, @vurnt22 , @samchillian, a cool drummer who organized it, and several special guests— the bass player’s name escapes me…I’ll definitely return. Thank you

Small, intimate spot that curates great live music performances. Also been here for improv dance sessions (featuring creative exchanges between street dancers and live musicians) and heard good house music DJs. Vibe is nice, people are cool and unpretentious. If youre a music lover, I highly recommend this place!

Club with good sound, with an orchestra and live music of choice, it gives the chance to artists. The subdued red light also creates this cozy atmosphere. A good one. Admission 20 usd per person.
