Shrine, New York NY

Nice place but the jazz is boring especially when the Indian guitar player took over the stage. Definitely not my cup of tee!

This isn't just a bar or venue, Shrine is an INSTITUTION! Much love to all the staff and owner, who keep this incredible spot going. It's 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

I love this place. Its a lounge/restaurant. The food is great, but I mainly go for the entertainment part. Live bands almost every night, and on the weekends it gives club vibes. It is a go to place for me in my neighborhood. Almost everyday of the week offers a different vibe. I always meet great people while sitting at the bar drinking their delicious henny coladas. While sitting to drink or eating at one of the tables you might be unknowingly served by the owner. He's great and keeps a low profile. Overall an eclectic crowd with amazing vibes. Check it out.

Great music spot, Decor with vinyl albums a wealth of past artist, new talent and echoes in the room. Variety of musicians right in the heart of Harlem

Hi Judah_13x here and I sing for 2 live bands "DUBCORPS" and "Khasha Macka" and the sound has always been good at the Shrine. 1

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

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

Strong drinks. Live performances. I haven't been here for a while. A Harlem African soul gem. A multi-Ethnic crowd with African vibes. A place where u can catch a very good performance. Had a Decent burger fries & good music vibes.

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!

Dope spot back in the day, haven't been in a while so I gave em the 3. When the live performance are in, they are ON! Little pricey imo for the quality but again, still worth a visit.

Came here for an open mic event but arrived early and had the pleasure of chowing down on some really tasty wings.they were delicious haha. I was definitely not expecting to have wings at all but im glad i did!

I would definitely reccomend:)

My date and I took a short walk from Renaissance Harlem and landed here. I didn't know what to expect from the visuals online, but this spot is pretty awesome. The decor is super eclectic and so are the people you're 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 I've had in a while!

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 whoever's is looking out to have a great time on Saturday night.

I'm a regular at the lounge. It's such a great place to enjoy music culture, it's 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 anyone's ears. The food is delicious different comfort / bar foods highly recommend!

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.

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.

I'd heard from a couple of my friends from NYC that they enjoyed going there; but they mostly went during the week. They would go have a drink and some food. My one friend said the name came from like a Fela type Shrine vibe with cool music from Africa and that they had a stage for live music. I was excited to go during this trip to NYC. I'm sad to say that I was disappointed, especially for a Friday night. The physical place was as I expected, so no surprise and no problem. My friend was surprised at the cover charge because they'd never encountered that, but there was a loud rock type band there that I didn't enjoy. The music didn't fit the style and vibe of the place and there was nothing "Fela" like about them or the music. Another gentrification fail! I gave it 3 stars because I hope it can be turned around based on my friend's previous experiences there, but I don't think I'll go again when visiting NYC.

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.

Only came here for an event: Pancakes and Booze! Art gallery plus free food plus two bars? I would be here every night if there was a place that did it regularly. Looking forward for it to come back to sf!
