A Nice Place For Music

I'm trying to find a nice place for live music in the slope.
Are there any place that have live music, within walking distance from the R train and that doesn't charge a ridiculous cover?

Not sure of your tastes, but the Bell House has some variety in their calendar.

Bar 4 on 7th Avenue has live music, but unfortunately even though it is a bar, they let toddlers in at night. So if you boogie with beer you must beware of bumping babies.

If a bar lets babies in, they should let teens in too! You can't just let all ages in to bars EXCEPT people between the ages of 12 and 21.

I think Barbes is usually just a (strongly) suggested donation and not strict cover.

And the Red Horse Cafe has free live music some nights - http://redhorsecafe.ning.com/

Perch... try this Friday nite.. amazing bass/guitar/singer song writter I know is playing there. Great place for aacustic music tha is consistently high quality.

I was at Alta Voce (5th ave btw 2nd & 3rd) Last night and they have free jazz on Wednesdays and piano on Fridays and Saturdays. they have great food and it's not expensive. They have a 20 bottle of pinot grigio that we took advantage of.

I'd say Union Hall is your best bet -- they get good bands and the cover is usually around $10: http://www.unionhallny.com/calendar.php

Aji usually has music on the weekends.

Ellis does bluegrass on Wednesdays.

I THINK Buttermilk will have their monthly country jam jam tonight!

I agree, John Montagna is playing tonight at Perch from 9-11. He's the bass player for the Alan Parsons Project, and a great songwriter as well.

This is the place to be in PS tonight.

Buttermilk's hootenanny WAS last night and yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw it was fun!!!!!! It was the bartender's birthday so shots and make out sessions abounded. Oh and the music was awesome.
