Baby's All Right has spent a decade being the first New York room for bands that later fill much bigger ones, which makes a Sunday night bill here a reasonable bet even when you don't know the name. The back room holds a couple of hundred people with the stage barely raised, so nothing is far away. Eat in the front room first — the kitchen is better than a club kitchen has any right to be — then walk twenty feet to the show.
What to expect
A small standing room behind the bar and restaurant, with a low stage and sightlines close enough that the back wall still feels like the front. Expect a short, focused set and a crowd that came specifically for this bill rather than for the venue. The front room stays open for food and drinks before and after the show.
Good to know
- The J, M and Z to Marcy Avenue is a two-minute walk on Broadway
- This is an 18-and-over show, so bring identification
- Eat in the front room before the set — the kitchen is a genuine draw
- The back room is small and standing-only, so arriving at doors matters
- Sunday shows here end early enough for a Monday morning
- South Williamsburg has good late food within a couple of blocks
