    Won a spot on the guest list from doNYC for a band I really like and was quite willing to pay the cover for. Given the sound and the lighting, I'm so glad I didn't have to or I would have been pissed. I don't know about anyone else, but I like to see the band. Even the drummer in the back. BUT ESPECIALLY THE LEAD SINGER. Save the atmospherically dark lighting for the audience. The instrumentation sounded fine for the small venue, but the vocals were muddy as hell. I've seen the band elsewhere so it wasn't them... it was Nublu. Once the crowd moved away from the bar area, the back got stiflingly moist. I wasn't drinking alcohol so I decided to get a Coke. I was charged 3 bucks for what costs the bar cents on the dollar. In a rocks glass mind you, not even a pint. Jesus. I was scared to ask how much a water would run me. Nublu has the potential to be quite a cool spot to catch up and coming bands. But if key factors like sound and lighting don't showcase them to their best potential, it hurts rather than helps.

    A pretty cool dive bar with live music. If you know the band that will play there check it out.

    If you can get there you'll be rewarded with some of the best bookings in the city. Also, have seen several "big name" artists come and sit in with the bands. Wish there was a better beer selection, and wish the subway was five minutes closer. But otherwise it's a great venue that always has cutting edge music going on- not a place for you if you want to see bands playing it safe.

    It's only open for special events like parties, private concerts, dj events and other things but it's still a cool spot. I heard that in the future they are hoping have a live on air NuBlu radio show that will broadcast from this space.

    A little sketchy place but great atmosphere, limited choices of drinks but it doesn't matter because live music is super. Safe and interesting experience. Worth it to go. I was at Mannarino concert. I will not forget this night for a long time. He is a real music star! Thanks.

    The club is great! But the nublu shop - doesn’t respond to my emails inquiring about the order which were placed in December …

    Very low key bar with live music. Dark and mysterious ambiance. I liked the music every time I've been here. Plenty of dance space. Mixed drinks are made with sake, they don't have any other hard liquor.

    1st of all the place it’s really cool, the band we saw were amazing, however the experience was ruined by the staff working on the bar, rude and obnoxious, the prices at the bar were different every time you had a different barman, even though we ordered the same thing every time …. So be careful, otherwise good experience musically speaking
