rock clubs

Loud concert spaces

Rock clubs are venues—typically bars or small concert halls—that feature live rock music or rock-oriented DJ sets.

They range from grimy dive bars with cramped stages to larger dedicated spaces with proper sound systems: We spent our twenties haunting rock clubs in the East Village.

The term distinguishes these venues from dance clubs, jazz clubs, or country bars.
