Lion's Den, Music venue in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, US
Lion's Den was a music club in Greenwich Village located on Sullivan Street that hosted small live performances. The underground performance space enabled intimate concerts featuring multiple musical genres in a compact venue.
The venue opened in the 1990s and operated as a performance space for local and touring artists for over 17 years. After closing in 2007, another music venue took over the same location.
The space served as a gathering place where musicians and fans connected over live performances across different genres. Visitors experienced a mix of emerging local artists and established performers that shaped the neighborhood's music culture.
The club was positioned between Bleecker Street and West 3rd Street with convenient access to multiple subway lines and bus routes. The underground location meant visitors encountered compact rooms with basic facilities and stairs leading below street level.
The space hosted early performances by artists like Lady Gaga before they achieved major success. This made it a fascinating window into how many emerging talents passed through New York's music scene in those years.
