The Bitter End

The Bitter End

The Bitter End is a nightclub in New York City's Greenwich Village. It opened its doors in 1962 at 147 Bleecker Street under the auspices of original owner Fred Weintraub. During the early 1960s the club hosted Folk music "hootenanies" every week featuring many performers who have since become legendary. An earlier club, "The Cock and Bull" operated on the same premises with the same format, in the late fifties. The poet Hugh Romney (who later became known as Wavy Gravy) read there. The City of New York bestowed landmark status to the night club on July 23, 1992.

Albums by Peter, Paul and Mary, Randy Newman, Curtis Mayfield, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton, The Isley Brothers, Tommy James & the Shondells, among others, have been recorded live at the Bitter End.
