You like hidden places? If you want to take your friends to an underground place none of them have ever heard of, the East Village's nublu is the place for you. With nothing but a nondescript blue neon light to distinguish this establishment, you can walk by this live music hub very easily. When you walk in, you literally feel like you just went through a secret passage into a room that no one on the outside knows exists.

Be warned, this place is dark and you won't find any Lacoste shirts in this crowd. What you will find is a surprisingly spacious music venue that presents an eclectic array of music genres and bands. Hit up the bar on the left and order 2 drinks per person so you can get yourself situated and enjoy the music.

If the music is too loud or you just need a break from the scene, head straight to the back where the nublu Garden is located. This is a great place to chill, smoke or whatever you might want to do in the outdoor area.

Maybe I'm just a geek, but I love places that are off the beaten path and not a total cliche. If you feel the same, this is your next live music destination.
