"Consistently varied, top quality booking...cabaret, globalist pop prevalent, late night hip-hop too...classy interior...comfy, intimate space...A-"
- Time Out NY - Music Venue Report Card
"...the future Norah Joneses are more likely to come from a downtown axis of clubs whose performers gleefully fuzz the boundaries between old and new, and between pop, rock, jazz, rhythm-and-blues, swing, country, world music and performance art. At the nexus of the scene is Joe's Pub, the thriving satellite of the Joseph Papp Public Theater, where more
than 700 acts appear each year, seven nights a week. The stars who
appear where the prices are reasonable and the hipness quotient high
include Ute Lemper, Richard Thompson, Sandra Bernhard, Audra McDonald,
Jimmy Scott and Maria Muldaur."

"Best bar to get romantic and play grown-up - JOE'S PUB
Pull out your date's chair and, without missing a beat, boldly ask for "two of your finest mojitos." The waitress replies, "Good choice"; you nod. Private tables, and when the lights go down, you can actually see the performers. This is JOE'S PUB. Dance, comedy, poetry, and music from folk to hip-hop; sooner or later, it turns up here."

"My favorite rock and roll venue is Joes Pub in New York, where you get all the sweat and the heat from the performances." - Alicia Keys, in Rolling Stone
