Every time I visited NYC Terra Blues was always the place for my night-time entertainment. As a blues lover the performers were always varied and excellent. The bar staff were brilliant and attentive too. On my last trip I was there so often they thought I had moved in to the city and was now a resident. Sad to tell them I was a tourist and when they found out I was leaving the next day they bought me some drinks. Excellent place. My one downer - I never got to see Michael Hill live.

Fantastic venue for blues music and whiskey. The space is intimate but not crowded and the sound quality is exceptional. The staff were nice and, while there was a 2 drink minimum per person rule on the menu, did not pressure our table into ordering more drinks at any time. The selection of whiskey was one of the best Ive seen and the pours werent small. Most of the bourbons were $10-$15 which is reasonable compared to other places. Would highly, highly recommend to any music/whiskey fan.

My friends and I had a great time at this club. It was Sunday evening when we decided to go to this club. We got fascinated by the beautiful crowd of people who go wild dancing on the dance floor. We like the drinks that they served the margarita was not too watery and not too strong as well. Also, the drinks were not too expensive. The DJ was so handsome. He plays a good variety of music. We will surely visit this place again.

This is one of NYC’s best blues music spots. Some amazing bands visit from out of town and the house band and regular lineup has some amazing musicians. When you want real guitar-driven blues, this is the place! The atmosphere is intimate and its common to see band members wandering the crowd while playing guitar. Well worth the visit. Some of the regular musicians are simply amazing. The scotch and whiskey menu will have something really nice for everyone. Not every blues spot has a great selection. This is done right. Take a friend or a date. This is one spot I am missing and can’t wait till the world reopens.

Just when you thought a superbly run Blues club was a thing of the past in NYC, this Bleeker Street haunt over delivers an authentic and wonderful blues experience!

This place has the perfect concept of the blues, the energy the music the people, definitely if you go to NY this place will assure you magical night.

Love, love, love this place. Fantastic music and drinks. They have a cover of $20 per person at the door, but what decent Jazz bar doesnt. Must visit if you like Jazz or if you want to experience what a jazz bar should be. Its packed for Friday and Saturday nights. If you go at 9.30pm, you should be able to get decent seats for the 10pm set.

Awesome blues bar down in the village. Great atmosphere, friendly bartender and really good music! Cover charge a little steep at $20 per person but the we did have a really good time here and the musicians were outstanding. Well be back.

The perfect way to spend a night in NYC.Amazing blues, more than 400 whiskeys yo choose from, an incredible setting and only $10 to get in.

5 star blues. Bartender was awesome, charged my phone, and pulled some fine pints of Guiness.Real deal on the acts. Acoustic blues in 1st act, followed by electric with harp.$10 cover well worth it, if real blues is your thing.

Very intimate and fun spot for blues. Small tables in the front put you right up there with the performers. Plenty of space in the back for a more relaxed time.

Very good but... you take your time and reserve a table in advance. Romantic night, you know? Then, the waitress just spoils it by placing walk-ins at your table. So whats the point in making a reservation?

What a great show in a great atmosphere! Saron gave us a memorable time.Would get back anytime.Drinks were really good too.Definitly 100% recommendable!

A bit of warning is the place gets crowded fast but its definitely worth going. JR Mack is awesome as well as the other artists. I love the vibe and how cozy it is. Went with bf who never went to a blues spot and he enjoyed it and now a fan. So check it out :).

True local blues experienceIf you want to immerse yourself in the New York city blues scene this is the place. Legends of the blues scene and the up and comers play here and let it rip!The bar is well run and service is great as well10/10 would recommend

Best blues!!! A must do, if you visit NYC!Kick back, an enjoy, the many varieties of whisky n Spirits. while enjoying the atmosphere “cool cats” vibe...It definitely screams the heart of Manhattan.

Amazing atmosphere, beautiful music!!

Really good place for music and drinks. Okay we came here a little bit early before the main set. But it was still very good amazing choice of hundreds of whiskeys. You pay a $10 cover to enter. From seven till eight 830 we listen to an acoustic set first. Overall good place to be. Will definitely come back for the 10 PM show which will be a lot more exciting.

Superb blues bar with high quality musicians and a great vibe. Theres often a cover charge around $10, but its well worth the money. Great cocktails too!

Dim lights, cozy atmosphere and extremely good blues musicians (and I dont say that lightly). SaRon Crenshaw was playing the night we went, and I absolutely fell in love with his playing style and voice.The only real downside is that it is a little bit expensive. You pay a 20$ cover + 8 $ per beer (at least two drinks per set, although the waitresses were not pushy at all in that sense) + tip for the musician and waitresses, if you feel like it. Consequently, you can easily spend more than 40$ for a one hour set, which is quite a lot, even considering the quality of the music.That being said, I believe that it is a place worth experiencing. If I lived in New York, I would become a regular for sure.

Absolutely fantastic place in the middle of the never-ending hustle that is Bleecker street. There is no food except for nuts, but the wine is decent and the staff is friendly and courteous. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Great venue for music. The lead singer I saw even sang off mic on the floor and it didnt seem to matter. Bartenders are all super cute and friendly. Good mix of seating at tables and the bar. Definitely will go again and you should if you like blues and cute bartenders. Who doesnt? Communists.

Awesome atmosphere! Really cool vibes, cozy place, the staff is friendly and helpful. If you are into whisky or bourbon you will have a plethora of choice. The music was absolutely brilliant, the sound was good (not too loud and great quality). Definitely recommend the place if you like blues. One of the best Blues bar I have been to so far.

Went for a show last night. The Michael powers frequency band was playing. Show was awesome. Great atmosphere, and solid service. Intimate setting and was able to sit right next to the stage. Would definitely recommend going for a show, even if you dont know the band the atmosphere is worth it

Great vibe, amazing atmosphere.Fun place to chill.

I love great music, excellent sound, two drink minimum and cover charge, get there early, or reserve a table.

Ho. My. God.! Ray was good but the Band...The Band was so AMAZING!!! We arrived almost at 7pm, so we had a very good seat, but whatever the seat..This was a hell of a good Show! On this thursday january24, 2019 at 7pm : Ray Schinnery and the band at 10pm : T Band/Hill/Crenshaw.

Fabulous, authentic Blues every single night. A New York legend. Nobody ever has a bad time here.

This place is worth every buck. Great drinks, friendly service and amazing live music!Open until late!

Ive been returning here the past 20 years. Guaranteed quality guitar blues any night of the week in the late sets.

This place is an absolute gem. Tiny, dimly lit, most coming from candles on small tables. Huge whiskey selection. World class musicians. Sit back and let the music wash over you.

Great blues performance. We were on Friday night when Michael Powers was performing it was something amazing and authentic! Thank you

What an absolutely fantastic place to spend an evening. An absolute blast. The bartender was extremely nice and very pleasant, it was great talking to her. Music was great too, nice and loud, I caught the late set (no cover that late). Loved the ambiance, its tough to find a club so dark in the city these days. Either way, somewhere I cannot wait to come back!

Incredible staff, outstanding show and excellent drink selection! Just wished they served some appetizers, but the sound quality overcomes any issues!

Great music! Good vibes all over the place.Very recommended!

Music here has always been great. This is the place where you listen to Blues music. Sharon is a great singer and performer. He doesnt disappoint. The staff is also awesome and the $20 cover is so well worth it.

WOW! What a cool place to hang in NYC!!! - If you like live music, particularly the Blues, you must go to Terra Blues. It is incredible. The musicians are top notch professionals (really), the great service and huge choice of whiskeys make this place a-must-go-to. Oh, and did I say its only a small cover to get in. Usually only $10 for three sets of killer good music by killer good musicians......... ENJOY!!!

We were visiting from Toronto and we googled blues bar and this came up we went there and initially we felt this might not be the right place but after a while we really enjoyed our time here and the singer was engaging the audience and asking them where are they from and we ended up talking to almost everyone in the audience it felt like we all knew each other’s and laughed a lot and had really good time .. this place is highly recommendedMore suitable for mature audience 25+ I would say not high schoolers for sure

Favorite live music bar in NYC. Only down is prices have skyrocketed. It used to be $5-$10 depending on the band to get in 10 years ago. Now it’s $20-$30.

An unforgettable experience, great location, great service, wonderful music and an atmosphere that makes you ecstatic. I recommend it to everyone who wants to enjoy some of the wonderful New York night.

Great atmosphere, good music, nice cocktails, reasonable prices

Great music and an astounding selection of American whiskies, possibly the best in the city.

Terra Blues is one of my favorite spots in Manhattan. Live blues every night, what more can you ask for? Great service and even better music. Can’t recommend this place enough. The manager Lucas is the man. You won’t be disappointed. Cheers!

Great place to sip Bourbon and listen to the blues. However, I truly believe Terra Blues is haunted, Im very serious, my drink slid across the table and fell hard to the floor with a loud thump. I didnt know it was my drink that fell, thats how loud the thump was. I told the waitress, she said, yeah things like that happened here before. She believes its haunted too. I was sitting at the 2nd to last table in the center by the bar.

Excellent service and great music! I was blown away!

Very cool place with amazing live shows

Great place for live blues music.

Small intimate place with real live music. Ive been coming here since the mid-90s. Still a nice place.

$10 cover charge.Good music, wait staff, and atmosphere. We sat in far back of bar. Unfortunately a rude bouncer kept harassing one of the ladies we were with because she was speaking above a whisper in an acoustic set. We were 150 feet from stage in back of bar. I thought this was excessive. The bouncer just kept staring at our friend and made it unenjoyable for her.

Had a fantastic night at this great authentic blues club. Really good Blues artists and superb atmosphere. Very friendly service as well. Loved it.

This was the best evening of our stay! The atmosphere of the place gave all our attention to the performer. They have a great selection of whiskies. Little expensive. Book before going to be sure to have a table!

Great Blues Club with great selection of Whiskey.

A small charming place for live performances. Good acoustics, very friendly staff. If the tables would be any closer to the stage, youd be a part of the band. Very intimate.

We loved the Terra Blues experience! Saron Crenshaw and fantastic band blew us away with their music!

It was nice. Such a good blue berry drink

Super friendly and warm place. Came on a rainy Monday night at 630pm and the bad had plenty of room. The draft beers were 6-8 dollars and were average selection. The music was top notch jazz and blues. I would most definitely come back here. It was exactly what I needed to soothe my soul! Thanks for a good time.

Great place to listen good music Blues, Expensive? Maybe... But it is a great place...

Great place, great live music. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to New York. The beer is a little bit pricey, but it was fully made up for by the fact that the musical entertainment was incredible.

If you love blues music, there is no where else in NYC (probably the US), that will satisfy your craving. The performers are professional & top-notch artists --- no jam sessions here! Oh, did I mention that they have the largest selection of American whiskeys in the city? Well they do. Instant classic.

Great environment. Great selection of drinks. Great music. Delicious food.

Great music, really nice staff and great vibe here at this authentic blues bar.

Best live music bar in NYC in my opinion. Great atmosphere and the acts are always good. Its a great place to just grab a whiskey and chill to some good music and forget your day. Also would be a nice date venue. Would highly recommend

Amazing venue, cosy, candle lit with great sound. Got in at 9 to watch the amazing Saron Crenshaw play followed by Spady and band. Cover charge of $10 is all you pay, whether you sit through one set or the whole night.Great selection of booze, reasonably priced. Most beers between $8-10. They do not serve food!Good crowd and good service. Must visit if you are a Blues fan.For reservations, just mail them, details on the site.

Not as hard to get into as Blue Note but definitely awesome. Small, dark place with a huuuuge selection of whisky and bourbon. $20 at the door (cash only) but they accept card when youre inside.

TB its an amazing place to listen good blues. It has a fantastic atmosphere plus the music is high quality always. Its the only local in NY that you pay a very reasonable cover fee and you can listen to two concerts, the acoustic one at 7 pm and the band at 10 pm and they dont chase you for leaving. Check the daily schedule and plan to go! I highly recommend this place!

Amazing music. Casual intimate venue.

If you like the blues or just appreciate musical talent you can’t fail to have an amazing experience here. I come every time I’m in New York. Jr Mack is the real deal.

A favorite blues bar in NYC... great blues musicians... high calibre

Best music ever, authentic blues bar

Best and only Blues place in NYC (all other blues places are 90% jazz). Two live shows 7 days a week. All of the artists are insanely talented, the staff is amazing. Never too crowded. They do not serve food, so grab a bite before you go.

Great late night music with friendly atmosphere. Well worth the cover charge.

Absolutely fantastic place. True gem. I wish there were more bars with same attitude and style.

Best jazz bar I ever been. Great music great staff. Could easily spend every night here

We loved it here last time we were in New York so decided to re visit and had a great evening, however it was disappointing that a lot of other people thought it was okay to chat very loudly amongst themselves which we found very disrespectful to the guys on stage.

Been there twice and liked the entertainment, but it is a small place with small tables and There is a cover charge to get in and a minimum amount of drinks you have to buy, though they dont seem to enforce that. They need to have some snack on the tables, this would probably increase their drink orders. Even if they had a small, reasonably priced menu with some appetizer type items, would be better (along with the table snacks).

A cool place to listen to some down home country blues.

Never in my life have I experienced music this amazing, and they do it every night. It was so good Wednesday that we went back Thursday. It is absolutely worth the $10 to hear them play.

Delivers what you expect from a blues club great music in a small intimate space serving an extensive list of whiskey and ryes to select from

Excellent Music and service, drinks are spot on.

Staff was very awesome. music was incredible. highly recommend

Excellent music. Helpful waitstaff. Truly amazing collection of whiskey

Great music, excellent sound and fun atmosphere!

This bar deserves a 10 star review!!! This is the best blues bar that Ive ever been!!!! Just come here... Have seventeen pages of whiskey and music

New York classic I first went there around 2000. It was smokey bar serving beer and the best blues in the city. Today uts still the same minus the cigarette smoke. I had an excellent time like I was 25 again. Thank you, Mac Jr.

Saron Crenshaw and his band are great! Michael Powers is a great way to relax, drink some good bourbon and hear great guitar work.

Best concert and great tasty list of poisons

Awesome place to go! Best live Blues in NYC!

Great music and atmosphere! Very small place and a little dark inside. better to be earlier to have a good seat. Good drinks and better to come here with fully belly couse nothing to eat. Usually 20 dollars for entry. Stuff very friendly. Everyday new bands. Best place for blues lovers. Around few similar places worth to go.

My favorite place in NY city. First time here or not u can enjoy their vibes and drink also. Recomm.to All!

This place is a small joint, but it had some great artists. We got lucky and scored two seats in the front. The waitress came by regularly, and gave us water.

We had a lovely evening here! Great music and vibe!

Oh man this place is wonderful. Specially when you have live bands playing some jazz .

Really nice place small and intimate prices are good and live entertainment

Really enjoy this place! If you like blues a place for nice casual sit down With friends have a few drinks.

Small, but good atmosphere. Great music and friendly wait staff. We went on a Monday, so it was definitely not packed.

Was here 14 years ago and loved the place. Returned this year and it is still the same. Great music, great atmosphere and great service!This is a must-go place if you are ever in NYC.

The music is soooo good. And excellent service at the bar. A lot of choices of bourbon

Long live the blues! This is an incredible way to spend an evening. With captivating performances and moderately-priced drinks, youll discover what entertainment meant to an older generation, and youll understand why those who reminisce on it do so with much affection. The $20 cover charge is worth the value. Get there about a half hour early to ensure you get a seat or spot at the bar.

Best Blues Club Ever. Great Service. Chill Vibes. Music On Point. Highly Recommend !

Perfect place, good service, great music. Spend a wonderful evening.
