Before you go
Every night here is 21 and up unless the listing says otherwise, and the door checks a government photo ID; visitors from outside North America should bring a passport. Bars and clubs can serve until 4am (what time bars close), and the subway runs all night.
Ticket prices on this page are the lowest we saw on each seller's page when we last checked it (most nights sell on DICE, which shows the price with fees). Drinks inside are extra: menu prices in NYC do not include the 8.875% sales tax, and the tip is a dollar or more a drink.
