Furnished with oriental rugs and leather sofas, the bi-level, basement nightclub of Ian Schrager’s modern Public Hotel offers a more polished setting for Lower East Side fun. Music bounces from house to hip-hop, and the crowd is just as mixed. Beyond regular nighttime programming, the space has hosted performances by the likes of Patti Smith and A$AP Rocky, as well as original shows like the Cuban-inspired, dance-heavy cabaret Carmen, To Havana & Back. Tip: if you’re looking for more a relaxed setting for cocktails, the hotel also as a rooftop bar, Public Roof.
