Shrine

Food, atmosphere, vibes and music are all 10/10!! Stop in, you wont be disappointed!! Live music next door!

One of the top venues in all of NYC for live music from multiple genres in a single night.Was here a few weeks back and saw 3 different groups. One jazz quartet, a rock trio and a massive African artist who was actually just chilling with me at the bar before taking the stage with an crew as deep as Wu Tang. He tore it down and then the other guy next to me said he was there the next week with his band. I made sure to visit again as it was his birthday. If you ever hear of #PreachermanAndTheRevival and have a chance to catch him, DO NOT MISS it.Make sure you thank me later 😉

If youre looking for live music, Shrine is definitely a place to visit. With several different sets throughout the night, you can hear a variety of music. The bar area is spacious enough and the performance area is cozy. Boom boxes, records, album covers and others decorate the interior, mixed in with African statues and masks.Everyone was friendly, staff and patrons and I had a great first visit there.

Food was so tasty I cant wait for my next visit to do Brunch again its actually right next door to Shrine

Great vibes. Came for the Brown Sugar comedy hour and it was perfect chill vibes for a Sunday. Didnt really get to explore the menu but the fries and souffle I had were fresh and flavorful.

A fabulous and FREE music venue in Upper Manhattan with loads of bands that play each night!

It was an interesting experience to enjoy a comedy show in the middle of Harlem USA so you will get the aura and the atmosphere of the community. The decor was very eclectic and if you are a Music 🎼🎶 lover, you will enjoy this spot. It is a live venue so they will have live music, comedy, spoken word, etc. Dont let the exterior keep you from the experience of the Shrine!

Me and my group Grupo Aurora had the honor of performing at this venue and I have to say its an amazing place to perform and get exposure if youre a musician and a great place to vibe out and have drinks with friends!!! There is live music every weekend and I believe on the weekdays as well. The service here is great the staff is very friendly and welcoming and wont have you waiting forever on drinks or appetizers.

Similar to Sylvania.I appreciate that they provide a platform for young and up-and-coming musicians.

I went here while on my trip to New York. $10 dollar comedy great music and a high $16 drink. They had a great band.

Music venue in central harlem NYC opened late afternoon to late with a fine line up of New, up and coming abd very famous talent. Always vibing. The theme always good music

Fun show ( MayDay). This is an authentic, real deal dive bar. Surprisingly good food, too. I would definitely go back. Friendly bartender and staff

Cozy spot. We came here to see our friends performing. Lots of seating and the bartender was very nice

One of the best places in NYC to catch live music of many genres in one evening.

We got to sit near the stage which was fun but they kept blasting the AC which was not fun. We spent the hole time frozen, even after complaining a few times. The overall vibe and music was fun.

Good food, fun atmosphere, great music from poetry to reggae to avant garde jazz. 1st Sunday of the month at 9pm is the awesome Shrine Big band... gotta check them out!

Solid food and great live music on a Tuesday night, loved this place!

The guy at the bar was really great, even came up to our table to get us more water when he didnt need to. It is the perfect neighborhood bar to go listen to weird and creative bands in the area. Honestly just go to check out the fascinating bathroom situation.

The owner of this establishment is so rude and disrespectful. The service and drinks is so horrible. I will never go back to this hole in the wall again.save your money and go somewhere better.

Im a regular at the lounge. Its such a great place to enjoy music culture, its a whole vibe ! Sunday theres amazing free comedy from 4pm to 6pm the Host is usually Ishmil hilarious ! like to get there a bit early to grab a sit because its no joke how fully committed the show can be which is great . The staff is awesome so down to earth and enjoy having a conversation with attendees. The live music is a mood different genre for anyones ears . The food is delicious different comfort / bar foods highly recommend!

I thought it was a Bodega when I first looked at it. I thought it was a hole in the wall. It tuned out to be a good comedy show. They could have been a little funnier but good. I think we will go back to see another show.

Nice spot. Cool interior. Fully stocked bar. The type of music changes daily depending on what is booked. Limited seating but more room than you would think to stand around and enjoy music.

Really chill vibe, music 7 days a week a great place to hang out and check out local and international entertainers. Nice from a musicians standpoint too! Good place to play.

This place is always a vibe and the team from the bouncers to the bartenders are warm and hospitable. I appreciate that. Oh and let’s not forget the artist who perform. I’ve cried a few times in happy tears.

Great live Jazz on a random Tuesday night. Good strong drinks. Fun vibe and cozy ambiance. Highly recommend.

Nice and fun 🍸🍷🍺🔊 and di djRestaurant yatenga next door

Very lively spot where the dj will have you dancing all night long. Mainly Afro beats with other genre of music for everyone. Drinks at the bar are good but be prepared to wait as the place is always packed. Best nights to go are Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Trust me, the experience at Shrine is awesome.

I finally made it to Shrine after hearing so much about this spot. Unfortunately, we arrived too late to watch the live band, but the DJ was playing a great mix of Latin, old school, and afro beats. The crowd was a mix of all races and ages dancing and having a good time. The bouncer was very nice, as were most of the people we interacted with. Im looking forward to coming back and enjoying a live show.

Great place for live music and the food is great too!

Awesome bar with great live music!

Its a nice laid back vibe with either a live DJ or live musicians playing. People will usually dance so it can get lively. Even though its primarily a French African spot theres usually a diverse crowd here of white, black and mixed folks here. A good beer tap selection and pretty decent simple cocktail menu if youre not too picky. Overall a nice dive bar.

This was a unique experience for me and my friends. Music was very loud, drinks were great, I told the bartender to make me something good and he didnt disappoint me. I have the shepherds pie , not bad. Great place to sit enjoy the music and dance

Just the best. Good is soooo very well prepared and taste delicious. The music is of heart popular selection and their open mic nights are epic with some of the best local artist that youd never believe was here in Harlem. Amazing place to visit and put in your night out check list

I came with my partner to Shrine looking for live jazz, since Harlem neighborhood is known for that ☺️...This place is just the perfect spot to find high quality jazz music...I just have no words to describe how good it made me feel... It is an exceptional place, with good vibes, welcoming and high-skilled musicians (M. Veal and co.), cocktails at a good price, seats... perhaps they could be more comfortable (but then people would not stand up to dance)😀Overall, this place made me want to come back to New York City!!!!

Great, vibes, tunes, drinks, and people every time I go + every night is a good night thanks to the ever changing live band/musician.

I love this place! The atmosphere..the vibes, the drinks was phenomenal! And the bartenders were great! I literally want to go back every weekend from now on!

Awesome and unique place! I loved it.

Love this space, always wanted an intimate underground low key spot with good music. Great night cap. The decor is everything.

Feels so nice to be so close to the scene, great concerts!!

I had some free time on my hands and wondered what could I do on a Wednesday night and keep it positive. I am a first timer at SHRINE. I am glad I went, sometimes when your not a regular you can be met with weird energy. However, that didnt happen here. It was upbeat with positive vibes. I would recommend anyone to this place.

Music ambiance great been to the Shrines in Lagos nice vibe PACKED

This place is great vibes, no entry fee and afrobeats are the best on the weekends. Also the near by stores has amazing options for late night food!!However, do not recommend bringing your phone in here. If you do put it in a secure place. My wife got her phone stolen towards the end of the night and we told the bouncer and he said 5 other people got their phone stolen the night before. Police was not much help. The phone is now in Dakar Senagal.

Shrine is a live music venue that does get packed QUICKLY. Me and my friends went late, like 2am on Saturday and it was packed in there. Can barely move. However, the drink prices were GREAT! So, Id go back, just earlier

Just came for a drink initially, but music started playing so I grabbed a bite. Really nice place, staff are as nice as they can get.

Dont be shy. The small entrance hides a huge welcome to eyes and ears when youre in. From long play classic covers all over the ceiling merging to African art onto the walls, the colorful lights will guide you to the inspiring acts shining the lights of their music with a cozy burgundy velvet curtain background.Food was beyond expectations as we ordered some fish and chips to accompany some drinks.Stylish, underground-ish, yet elaborated atmosphere.

One of the great music venues in NY. They book bands you wont find anywhere else. And the prices are fantastic!

I absolutely adore this place. I came here for my birthday on December 17th of 2017. The staff was amazing and allowed me to try the wines they had to offer before purchasing a glass. The prices were pretty food and the location was amazing only a 5 minute walk from the subway. The comedy show we attended was amazing. I over all had an amazing time.

Enjoyed the comedy show I definitely got a steal pertaining the price. Great comedy low price tickets makes you wanna tip the comedians for a great show. Drinks are ok as well. Shrine is a hidden gem in Harlem. They also have jazz karaoke and singing performances small revenue but good shows. I go for the Brown Sugar Comedy will be there again.

With a nightly lineup of acts, a cheap or non existent cover charge and a friendly vibe, places of this ilk are a dying breed. I went in by myself and felt comfortable and at ease. I met some really great people, had a reasonably priced beer and enjoyed some quality tunes. Visit this place soon. We need to keep musical gems like this alive in Manhattan.

Went To See My Friend Mario Play In A Band. The Cee Songbird & Sound Travelers. And Met The NYC Mayor Eric Adams There. Very Humble Gentleman. A Must Visit Music Venue. Great Bar Staff As Well. Thumbs Up 👍😎.

I visited this place for the first time. I found it to be like a typical bar. However, it was not just a typical bar. On that Wednesday, they had live music. The happy hour was great!! The wings & fries were excellent & the bartender was awesome. I will definitely be visiting again!!

Awesome live music venue. There’s an open mic every second Monday of each month. Very vibey spot with good drink & food options. There’s amble room in the venue for performers, the audience and the bar area as well. Will definitely be back!

I had a blast here with my girls. The music is bumping. The drinks are decently priced. The bathrooms are small and typically reminiscent of bar bathrooms. The DJ let me charge my phone. Id be back! It was a great place to end the night at! Close to the trains too

Didnt care for this place very much. Drinks and food were great. The comedian was a wicked, and the place is dusty. I am allergic to dust/dust mites, so its not good for me.

Fun place to socialize and dance. The music on a Saturday is top 40 and reggae which is awesome. People actually socialize and talk to each other which is great for a pick up spot. It gets dark in there though. Drinks are mediocre, so dont expect much. Its really a place for dancing.

Dive bar bistro on one side with good atmosphere and music and stage on other side with some great live music. I happened upon Michael Veal & Aqua Life afro beat band, and I was awestruck at how incredibly authentic the vibe was! People were really having the time of their lives! Will definitely be back!

Great casual spot 4 live music. Love the rotating musical line-up of different bands. The drink prices r good & no cover is great. Staff is friendly, but cash only is a little out dated, especially w/a lack of banks in the area. But overall had a blast afterwork.

I always have fun here! At one point I became a regular. It’s rlly just worth a visit. It gets better after 1am. Sometimes the DJ is crazy and doesn’t play African music till 1am, that’s what I came there for is Afro beat. But aside from that the drinks are good for the price and I always end up having a blast.

Attending a viewing party her for run the world. Iconic harlem venue highlighting black and brown creators and artists.

Great night out listening g to great music. Food was descent. Customer service was great.

This is a great neighborhood bar with live music. On weekends after 9pm, they have a dj that plays afrobeats, dancehall, and hip hop outside of the bar. Most people are spaced out and social distancing. The only thing I don’t like about it is the people. Some of the older men are very aggressive or some ppl are sketchy and ratchet. Other than that it’s good vibes!

Great Local bar in Harlem.. The only place I know where they play cool and groovy African music, great to dance. The DJ set typically starts at midnight, and goes on till 4, before they have local bands playing live. Awesome!Too bad they have a cover and the drinks are pretty expensive, compared to the places nearby

This isnt just a bar or venue, Shrine is an INSTITUTION!! Much love to all the staff and owner, who keep this incredible spot going. Its a joy to find queer-friendly African gathering spaces in NYC. Beautiful community cornerstone and a great spot to make a friend or share your story with someone between sets 💕

So cute local club with live music. We ordered 8 alcoholic cocktails and the barmen treated us to 4 free tequila shots. I would recommend Muslim Jew cocktail if you like something milky (with Baileys liqueur) and NYC cocktail ( little bit sweet). Only good vibes.

Stopped in to The Shrine randomly and had an amazing time. I showed up on a Friday night and the live band was amazing. The stage design and lighting is also unique.It’s a mid size space with not a lot of seating, but the environment calls for standing and dancing. The service at the bar was good.The aesthetic is very artsy with a lot of personality and homage to afro and Caribbean talents. Great for a solo outing, date night or small group outing.

Went for reggae night, and I had a blast. As always, the dj was hittin. I love old school reggae, and I would def return. The frozen margarita was good

Hidden gem in Harlem. Wonderful service, food and entertainment

Went with a friend on a Friday night the crowd was cool and lively. The DJ played all the songs you would expect to hear. The crowd was a good mix of guys and girls so if youre looking to mingle you should feel comfortable.

Ive been going to the Shrine FOR YEARS. Its one of my favorite places to go to hear live local music (evenings) or dance my life away late night (th-sun) to great mixes of afrobeats, caribbean, hip hop, etc. The food is great! I suggest you get there earlier (8-10) so you can have a spot to sit and eat. Tip the bartenders; theyre sweethearts AND the bar can get packed pretty quickly; they work hard to keep the drinks flowing..Youre welcome partygoers. 😊👍🏾

I love this place! Been going here for 6 years! Outdoor seating in the summer. Live music EVERY night. Delish frozen margaritas. The kalzieta is always Perfect!High server turn around tho. Only negative.

Great music 👍 great selection of afro music

Shrine is one of my favorite places in NYC. Shrine is dedicated to Fela Kuti and The Shrine in Kalakuta, Nigeria. The ambiance great; its adorned with album covers, African artifacts, and vibrant colors.They have great service and the drinks are never watered down. The sound system is great and there are always eclectic bands with great music. I have performed here several times. The DJ is the absolute best!!!! His playlist is topnotch! The menu is simple, but the food is good. I dont go for the food, though. I go for the fun!SOOOOOOO MUUUCH FUUUNNNN!!

Neighborhood spot..That can have Versatile Musicans/Comedians/Host(s) etc .show up and share their talent.DJ(s) on any given night.. sharing their Unique Skills after 11pDance the Night away...hopefully with your Date or Mate.. you already came with****

They have live music every night after 7pm. With inexpensive bar menu.

Fabulous venue for live music, and such a wide variety! Its spacious for Manhattan, has relaxed/slow service, and delicious chocolate mousse (& light entrees). Im looking forward to my next visit.

I randomly went to Shrine for the first time in July. It was awesome! From the djs, to the locals, & audience was great. The drinks wasnt bad either, and the prices was good. I got to dance my Afro beatz on stage and the crown was very diverse and welcoming. So was the music. To enter was like between 5 to $15. Overall, me and my girlfriends will def be going back soon. 😊

I remember the first time I stepped foot into Shrine: someone told me the owner worked the bar w/his employees and pointed him out to me. I walked over and introduced myself. Warm, hospitable man. Btwn mixing drinks, he made sure that my friends and I were good throughout the nite. And this we were! The setting was vintage and comfortable. Nice live, evening performances! But after midnite, I had the best time! Like nocturnal, crawling creatures, tons of people from mixed backgrounds came in. The bands left and a DJ mounted the stage. Everyone was ready to shake a leg. Absolutely, my favorite lounge in Harlem!

Every time feels like a fantastic first experience! The music, people, and atmosphere for an affordable amount, $10. (Cocktails are about same price).Def recommend to come shake off any stress

A great place to have a fun relaxing time, a great mixture of black and white people, decent quality food but...needs more air conditioning, owner is very hands on and will do a good job to satisfy . Definitely give it a visit

This place is worth going to. The atmosphere is awesome and the drinks are delicious. They have a comedy thing on the weekend with live jazz afterwards. And reggae nights on sundays with no cover.

My date and I took a short walk from Renaissance Harlem and landed here. I didnt know what to expect from the visuals online, but this spot is pretty awesome. The decor is super eclectic and so are the people youre amongst and I love that. There was a live band that did different renditions of reggae and latin music...THEN the hype man arrived and let loose with dancehall, soca and afrobeats (my music :). Honestly, it was one of the best nights out Ive had in a while!

Drinks were good, entertainment was good. The only thing I would recommend is having air conditioning throughout the venue, not just one section. Other than that, its a great time. Definitely will go back

Great spot to catch a variety of genres of music. Good food menu and good drinks. Terrible parking situation, so youre better off taking a cab/car service to get there.

I went there twice but my experience wasnt great. Its overwhelming when people act aggressively trying to dance with you and also it was pretty much overcrowded. Well on the bright side, the young lady at the coat check downstairs was sweet though :)

The Shrine is a fun place to stop for a drink while you see who is playing. I have heard some really interesting music unlike anything I previously was exposed to (from Nigerian rap to Balkan soul). You can check the lineup on their website to see who will be on, or just stop in and check it out. It is usually standing-room-only at night, and extremely loud, so not great for conversation. The food comes from Yatenga next door (in fact, there is a door leading directly between the two) but if its food you want, I would just go there before or after. There is a great selection of beers ($4-7) and never a cover charge.

I am disappointed with the service. I went to listen to good music and it was horrible! I requested a song to the DJ and he was very rude and disrespectful for no reason. He refused to play the song I requested Bc it didn’t fit with his playlist. I was upset and went to the bartender who was also rude. I am disappointed I. This spot and WILL NEVER GO BACK ! And I hope you avoid this place because it is not worth your tine or space! It is horrible!

Awesome live band!! If you like Ole skool everythang, this is the spot. The band was outstanding! On my feet the whole journey❤🎤💥🎉

2 floors of music. Usually hip hop downstairs, afrobeats and reggae upstairs. Dope spot it you like to dance and have a good time. They also have live bands before midnight and thats always fun as well!

I want to give this place no stars but to leave this review, this place gets the single star that it doesn’t even deserve. The security guard who wears The North Face black coat was rude to my cousin. I was en route in a Lyft. That man’s rudeness led to us not frequenting your business. My cousin, visiting from Atlanta, wanted to give a Nigerian-owned club business but,…

Down home neighborhood experience. Great bartenders. Has a DYI feel of a 70s era punk club, with a groovy vibe. A perfect live venue for a dinner date.

Great time, the drinks are good, the atmosphere that evening was lively. The artist that performed were interesting. I would come back here.

I went for happy hour at shrine. I enjoyed the ambiance and the music; however, the food and drinks were not up to par. During the happy hour time, the beer and soda were flat. The alcoholic beverages were very weak. I had the fulu burger and it did not honor the man at all.

A little bit of Old Skool here very quaint and lots of artists come in and have jam sessions drinks are good I am a native New Yorker this was my first time there i recommend this place for those people seeking a jam session. It is like walking down memory lane

Loveeee the music here! Went with my boyfriend and his friends. Danced and sat by the bar. Goooood vibes ☺️

I loved it. Mad fun. Full of beautiful ladies who were down to have fun and just go wild. I would visit again and again and will introduce this place to whoevers is looking out to have a great time on Saturday night.

Good music...even better bartender

A very cool spot, very chill, a vibe. Definitely a gem in Harlem. The Mac and cheese was done RIGHT! I would recommend people visit at least once if theyre ever in the area.

Outstanding food and entertainment!

Just an amazing venue in Harlem!! The sound is phenomenal and the staff is awesome!!! I have had the pleasure to play 2 times here! And just look forward to another show!!

Very lively and entertaining.

Excellent spot in Harlem, great music, great crowd, excellent service. Ill be going back.

Crazy joint, but in a good way. Extremely cool music (jazz, rap, musical crossover, accordion) great beers, noce stuff, crowd was interesting, from 18-80yrs! Superb atmosphere

A great time! Small, intimate jazz club. Get there early if you want to sit down! Just needs more seating.

I went on a Sunday had a great time listening to Caribbean and African music. It was crowded but you could still move around and dance.

Excellent place to go see New York Citys live music with Maria Davis Mad Wednesdays once a month with the Celebrity Live Band with Karl Browne (Musical Director) Tony Stevenson (Bass Guitar) Thomas Felder (Drums) Co Hosts Wallace Gary and Skotch Davis. Maria Davis is the Founder and Host of Mad Wednesdays.

Cool place with great live music and good vibes.

1st time there. We are in from Chicago. Great atmosphere. Fantastic music. Amazing company. Well visit again when we return to NYC. Thank you for the hospitality.

DJ Take got me hooked and its become my go-to. It has Great great music, afrobeat, reggae, Latin. If you love to dance till youre tired. Shrine is the spot

What can I say about this place. Great music, a mix of hip hop, and african music. The crowd is always mixed nicely with a good selection of eye candy. LIve in the neighborhood, so I often stop by.

Never thought Id find a place like this in Manhattan... No cover, and $3 draft beers. (Good beers, too e.g. microbrews) The vibe is chill, and live music begins at 6 pm.

Great food and live music. Very diverse crowd. You have to try the lamb. It won’t disappoint.

Went to Shrine last night for the first time and WOW! I couldn’t believe how much talent was in one room. Awesome atmosphere and great energy. Won’t be my last time that’s for sure!

The act that was meant to start at 8pm never started and no one said anything. The recorded music playing was way too loud, to the point that my ears and head hurt and it didn’t make for any atmosphere with maybe 10 people there.

Live music, reasonably priced beer! What more do you want? Place turns into a dance floor after 11.30. Id come here again.

A cool place to be for a little night out 😊

Went to attend the July 4th celebration..the Ivorian DJ rocked the house..the reason why we love Shrine.is because it is very cosmopolitan..different ppl from different nationalities rock this place and ppl dance together as if they have known each other for decades..VERY UNIQUE CLUB❤

Great music and atmosphere! Dont use their bathrooms though, absolutely disgusting!

Dope Vibe and great drinks.

My favorite place in the city for great drinks good vibes and amazing music!

Best place ever! Had such a great time!

Good Live Music by Locals of Harlem

Good rep for jazz. Always something or someone to discover. The music is way ahead of the food. Drinks are nice. Focused on the tropics!

Non-judgemental and credible music and dance venue. Authentic West African live music with DJ after midnight on Saturday nights. My go-to place to dance in NYC

Love this place... like the CBGBs of present day Harlem. Went on a Saturday night and the music got increasingly better after 10pm. Was there on a Saturday night. Really good time.

Great place to listen to music

Great place to hear some classic funk and soul music.. neighborhood bar with vinyl records on the wall and lots of good cover bands paying respect to the greats

A pretty dope spot.. live music and a DJ on the lower level. 4 stars because they charge a $10 cover when 98% of spots in Harlem are no cover.

Awesome venue and crowd

Very nice little bar. The decoration is great and artists play live music in the evening. I had a really nice time!

Lets see where can I start upstairs DJ is off the hook fun fun the downstairs the music is good next door is the Chill Spot friendly its like being with your family I love it

Was lit nice music nice crowd great drinks

Very interesting place to listen jazz, real jazz in a genuine environment in NYC Harlem. Its possible to eat or drink something while enjoying a jazz session played by local musicians

Great music and atmosphere. Ran into a bartender from another place in Harlem that told me to check it out. Im glad I did. Will definitely be back

Took over a hour for them to bring my hookah out . The manager told me I would get a refund still waiting on that . Other then that good vibes .

Usually go here for the Sunday afternoon jam session. Friendly bunch to be found here, on and off stage. Havent tried too much of the menu, but seems decent and reasonably priced.

Recommend the Mondays Random Stranger Jam sessions!

Harlem landmark. Classic live music venue with NYC style that is hanging in there. Decent bar food. Good sound. Go and support live music.

Sound is not balanced and way too loud for the venue.They should get some professionals in here. Interesting spot. Good happy hour. 3 dollar drafts

Live music every night from 7pm and a great dive bar music vibe. Mon-Fri happy hour until 8pm can’t be beat with $5 drinks (all draft, wine and frozen margaritas). Food was better than expected though we mostly stuck to simple options like guacamole and quesadillas.Atmosphere was fun, vinyl covers stuck all over the walls. Music can vary but you get many genres and generally good quality. Great to have something like this in NYC which I struggled to find further south in Manhattan.

Great music all the time. Especially live reggae on Sundays. Culture Connection reggae band rocked it last Sunday. Awesome

Great selection of incredible live music event & beers, solid dancing, and a highly diverse crowd. Doesnt hurt that Yatenga is right next door either.

Surprisingly the best fish in New York. The place itself is a landmark in Harlem. Wonderful music if youre lucky!

I love The Shrine.Great variety of music,good people ,and great food.Come on down and meet Osmane.

Great venue. One of my favorite places in the city for live music. Cheap drinks during happy hour.

Always a great time and a celebration of the African diaspora through music, singing, and dance. Live music and good drinks. They are checking IDs and vax cards at the door for each guest. They also have coat check in the basement for 2$. I love that their bathrooms are single stalls and gender neutral. A gem of Harlem over the years ❤️❤️❤️

Music is off the hook and everyone loves to dance. An the drinks are on point. The owner is very cool dude. Love that place.

See you at shrine SEKOUBA & BOLOMBA BAND December29 at 10 PM Shrine its the best spot.

Great vibe good music excellent service place was full didnt have to wait 30 sec for my drinks

Great music, vibe, and food! Staff was friendly and service was quick. Check out this hidden gem in Harlem!

Great place for live music and to meet cool people!

Fried chicken and sweet Plantations were delicious ! Nice Server! Comedy show every Sunday with upcoming Comedians!

Dont expect anything fancy. This is a true music venue. The food is solid & good. Drinks are affordable.

Great local live music venue with a funky decor. Old album covers are everywhere. Nice dance floor and friendly crowd.

Great food Atmosphere gives me a Jazz Hip hop feel!!! I LOVE THAT!!!

Nice place 👌 👍 👏 ☺️

There was no air conditioning and it was hot as hell on the inside so I chose to stay outside on the benches that were in front of the club

Great place awesome sound

Great food. Music and staff

I go every Saturday but Im gonna stop the new DJ is wack only play african musics and we need kimani back

Great food, great service and great atmosphère. Live music. Nice cocktails. African dishes from next door.

The owner was very rude. No customer service whatsoever. He kicked us out.Se were doing the same things neighbors do, but were happened to be white

Great place to eat drink and dance to African music. Its also a venue for various local and internationally bands.

I usually visit Shrine when someone we know is doing a few sets on stage. Weve had drinks and appetizers there that were pretty good.

Shine always feels like a bubble in space you forget the time great spot for up and comers and some local artist food is not bad to

Omg!!!! You just have to experience it, its that good. Their had live band, African, and DJ session after with mainly caribbean and African music.

Nice food, nice music. Interesting artists that you will not see in the midtown. Worth to make a trip to Harlem to see it.

Guys buy you drinks here! They ask you to dance instead of just staring lol, music bumping! Love it here.

Every final Thursday of the month, Pumkin Escobar and some of his very funny friends take over the Green Room for a two hour stand-up comedy show that is ALWAYS the best way to get your weekend started early.

Great atmosphere bathroom needs updating.

Great music everyday is different and you meet a lot of great people from all over the world. Oh yeah great food

I love performing there!! The crowd is awesome!! The staff is awesome!!! I always look forward to coming there!!

Dope vibes

It was ok when I went it was very lively and packed nice vibe with a mixture of cultures in attendance !

Great music, friendly staff, good selection of draft beers and other drinks, excellent food (apparently from the West African restaurant next door?) - I had a delicious steak sandwich with a perfect scrambled egg inside and a large fresh green/mixed salad included

Liked the decorations that pays tribute to pop culture. Live band was tantalizing.

Always a cool selection of bands upstairs and down. The guys behind the bar range from awesome to somber but its always a good time.

They have performances good music a few good food dishes and drinks what more can you ask for.

Great spot, bar tenders were on point and friendly!

One of the most amazing places in all of Manhattan! Possibly the one place that still got soul. Excellent music and people

Great music, nice crowd, healthy drink pours... Hot as hell tho

Has a Good time it was very crowded but theres no place like Harlem!

Great live music and dancing

This place is great for appetizers and drink but the service sucks! The waitress that took care of us was just horrible and the icing on the cake of that horrible service was her demanding a tip!

Great vibe. Live music or DJ. Havent tried the food. Ill let you know...

The place was fun,full of people with color and lively...cool DJ and MC they all rock👍

My beau and I went here on May 15th, 2024 and it was my first time visiting and I just so happened to be blessed enough to help celebrate the location’s 30th Anniversary! The food is excellent and so are the drinks but don’t take it from me because I’m not a “drinker”. The seating is set up to make you not want to stay long that’s my only complaint 😩 and I suffer from back issues. But Harlemites please support this venue and help keep it alive. Protect this small gem at all costs. There’s sooooo much history in this place. All over the walls and ceilings. It’s beautiful! And the band…OMG! THE BAND…😍

Hands down the best live music venue in all of NY!

I looove the viiibes in this place!!! The most beautiful place in NYC!!!

Great music, food and drinks.

Whoa! A hidden gem! Take an uber and enjoy your evening! Phenomenal bands and great drink andnfood prices!

The heart of harlem night

Live music 7 days per week, with no cover 95% of the time. Great ambiance, no attitude or door policy.

Happy hour specials are a steal! Wings with a side for $7! Service was GOOD and I ask for a lot of water 🤣. Lots of sperate bathrooms downstairs; which is well light. Accomedating to events and live music. Nice mix of friendly patrons.

I love this place for live music! They always choose really great and unique music. I’ve never had a bad time here!

Great music and unique venue in the heart of Harlem. Was there for the Sunday evening jazz jam.

If you get the right night, you can spend s lot of time listening great live music. A must see in every case.

Always a good time!

Kali Zeta (grilled lamb in spicy mustard sauce) Im drooling thinking about it. They share the kitchen with Yayanga so the food is always on point.
