One of New York’s better live music bars, The Cutting Room is owned by 90s NY icon, Chris Noth, aka Mr Big from TV’s Sex and the City. The interior is intimate rock’n’roll throughout: there’s the Beatle’s lounge, with its red walls, leather chesterfields and prints of the Fab Four; the Pick Up Bar (more musical than sexual), which has a bar shaped like the neck of a guitar; and the main theatre space with its rococo swags around the stage.

The Cutting Room’s stage and space attracts visiting rock royalty, and stars like Ronnie Wood and Mick Taylor, but you never know what new act (or tribute act) you might happen upon on a visit here. Sexy, fun and sultry, The Cutting Room is a great place to catch some high-quality music or even just a beer and something to eat – the bar’s pub menu runs throughout the night serving burgers and tacos.
