Le Poisson Rouge, Jazz club and movie theater in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, US
Description
Le Poisson Rouge is a performance venue in Greenwich Village with flexible seating and a gallery space that hosts rotating events. The space can be reconfigured to suit different art forms, from concerts to film screenings to dance performances.
History
The venue opened in 2008 in a building that previously housed another performance space, continuing a tradition of artistic programming at that location. This lineage gave it roots in the neighborhood's long history as an arts hub.
Culture
The space draws visitors interested in seeing classical music, jazz, and experimental performances under one roof rather than visiting separate venues. This mix of art forms and musical traditions creates a gathering place where different audiences discover shows they might not normally attend.
Practical
The venue accommodates groups of different sizes with both standing and seated areas, easily reached by multiple subway lines nearby. Its location in the neighborhood makes it convenient to arrive and explore the surrounding area before or after your visit.
Did you know?
The room was designed with specific acoustic properties that allow performances to shift smoothly between classical music, rock, and film presentations. This technical approach means artists can move fluidly between entirely different art forms in the same evening.
