Session 73 Live Music and Tapes

Expert Reviews of Session 73 Live Music and Tapes

Citysearch | Food, booze, pop and rock--Upper East Side cats can get their groove on without a taxi ride.

Amid the onslaught of sports bars in the East 70s, a live-music venue is a rarity. At snazzy-yet-casual Session 73, lights hang from long chords over the copper-topped bar. Patrons settle into velvet...

2.0 of 5 stars. I've been there 4 times, only cause it's a block from my house. Mean age is 24. $6 dollars for some cheap draft beer. No cover.

Yelp.com Review - by Bill H.

1.0 of 5 stars. Session 73. Where Upper East Side nights go to die. 80s music and hip-hop. The oil-and-water hallmark of fratty dance clubs. A lot of big drunk dudes, groups of giddy girls, two bars, lot of music,…

1.0 of 5 stars. This place makes me want to slit my wrists. The only safe haven for me at this bar (aside from copious amounts of drugs prior to coming) is the section with tables and chairs.

Monday nights this is the place to be if you like live music & salsa. It is one of the few places I've seen beginners and pros alike feel at home. It was so packed last time you would think it was the weekend!...

Dirty taps, way overpriced

Two small Ketel One and Sodas put me back $20. $20! Switched to beer, and a flat lager cost me $6. Clean your taps! Either way, I'm not going back. No wonder it's always empty in there.
