4. Waltz-Astoria Café is a small café in Astoria but seems to draw a lot of good music. Anything from jazz to hip hop is offered here and it has a warm cozy feeling to it although it’s a bit tight inside. The coffee and desserts are good and the staff is courteous.
5. The Irish Circle in Far Rockaway makes the list because it has a neighborhood bar feel to it. Bands play on weekends and lots of locals come out celebrate Rockaway style. This is the new Irish Circle, the old one being a landmark in the area for years. Great bartenders and good food make this an enjoyable place to watch a band.
Nassau County has a lot of places to see live music. With everything from your local pub to decent sized venues represented, you can catch a band any night of the week somewhere in this county.
1. First on the list has to be the Nassau Coliseum. It is the Madison Square Garden of
Long Island. It offers big name bands at a big venue. Of course there’s always
Islanders' hockey and special events scheduled there also. Huge sound here and if you’ve never been there, it’s a great place to see a concert.
2. Nikon at Jones Beach Theater is the best place to see a show during the summer in the area, hands down. Right on the water, Jones Beach offers big time acts in a comfortable and cool setting for the hot summer months. I saw David Bowie there a few summers ago and the light show was great. Top notch venue with an incredible sound system. This is a true concert-goers’ experience.
