Lucky 7 NYC / Faith NYC
Tuesday June 24th

Formed by Barry Ryan (Rockats) and Kenny Margolis (Mink DeVille,Cracker), Lucky 7 recorded three albums and toured The USA, Canada, Europe and Scandinavia from the mid 80’s to the mid 90’s. Writers from Rolling Stone and The New York Times have called their music zydebilly and a Cajun rhythm & blues rock’n’roll gumbo. Back with Ryan and Margolis are percussionist Boris Kinberg. Joining Lucky 7 is drummer Dave Donen, who has played with many great artists including Chuck Berry, Tim Hardin, Lenny Kaye and Marc Ribot and has played on 65+ recordings. 8:00 - The emergence of Felice Rosser’s FaithNYC reveals another facet of the seemingly infinite diamond of Black American music. Born in Detroit, she experienced Motown, the 1967 riots, Funkadelic, The MC5, The Stooges and The New York Dolls before moving to New York City for college. Blown away by Television at CBGB’s, she became part of the scene, befriending Samo— Jean Michel Basquiat’s tag at that time—and starting to write songs and play bass. Inspired by punk’s DIY attitude, Rock & Roll, Funk, Free Jazz, Dub, Reggae and the new Hip Hop scene all became part of her musical language. She was the bass player in Brooklyn’s all-female reggae band Sistren before she formed FaithNYC, which became part of Vernon Reid’s Black Rock Coalition. Guitarist Al Maddy was a member of Sire recording artists The Nitecaps and has played with artists as varied as Donovan and the Moroccan Jajouka master Bachir Attar. His funky psychedelic style helps create groove and space in FaithNYC's music.Christine Santelli & Heather Lil' Mama Hardy

Esmoquin / TBD
Wednesday July 16th
Esmoquinn is a musical collaborative in Brooklyn: created, led and established by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jeb Colwell. Currently a three-piece, their live shows enthrall, amuse and entertain their audience with a plethora of playing styles. Minimalistic pop songs take the reins from jazz-infused latin tunes presented with a tinge of 90s post-wave attitude - often balancing a fine line between sincerity and comedic sensibilities, sung in English and Spanish. Esmoquinn has been brought into being by the protagonist’s urge to re-connect with his half-Mexican roots. It is also a reflection, a musical retrospective and an attempt to reinvent Colwell’s artistry and stagecraft in 2025. The trio features Tommi Lebioda (Frogbelly And Symphony, Dirty Cosmos, Amalgaband, Astrid’s Farm et al.) on bass guitar and backing vocals and Patrick Carmichael (Flea Circus, Van Davis, The Brothers Yee, The Big Apple Circus Band et al.) on the drums.

Good Luck Mountain
Tuesday July 22nd
Mike Ferrio's previous band, the much-feted Tandy, came to an end with the untimely death of his musical partner Drew Glackin.

Good Luck Mountain is the name he's adopted for his new band as well as the name of the record; "seasoned players", he calls his new band mates, who include Konrad Meissner from The Silos (with whom Drew Glackin also played) and Matt Mays, once of The Guthries, but there's a host of other players on this album which features music that is carefully built - layers of sound that spring from some synthesiser atmospherics in the background and with changes of emphasis that are characterised by use of strings or horns.
Wandering Years / TBD
Wednesday July 23rd
Wandering Years originated as the recording project of Brooklyn songwriter Gene Stroman. After making a string of home-recorded EPs, including the intimate, emo-tinged folk release "Wandering Years Retirement Community" (2022), Stroman recruited friends to bring the Wandering Years sound to life. In 2023, the group released its debut LP "Mountain Laughed" on Boston slowcore label Candlepin Records. Channeling the melodic and melancholic sounds of early shoegaze-adjacent groups like Red House Painters, Low, and Songs: Ohia, the album is a tender meditation on the seemingly relentless river of time experienced in the city. More recently, Wandering Years released “You Are Covered in Brooklyn Amber” EP on Better Days Will Haunt You and Candlepin Records.

Ethan Eubanks Blues Bangers
Tuesday July 29th
Ethan Eubanks, Brett Bass, Andrew Sherman, and David “Doc” French playing classic bluesThe Wonder Licks / TBD
Wednesday July 30th
Fulgurite is what happens when lightning strikes mud. It’s also what listening to The Wonder Licks feels like: Somewhere on the banks of the Big Muddy, in a white-hot flash of sound and fury, Americana music grew legs, stood up, and called itself a band. Founder Jacob Wunderlich enlisted in classical piano lessons as a wee lad. By his early teens, Wunderlich was writing duets for his friends and modifying the lyrics of radio hits to make his sisters pee their pants. A move to Nashville, TN at 18 years old would inspire delusions of grandeur. Today, The Wonder Licks is an embodiment of Wunderlich’s music-or-bust move to New York City. Deemed “ambitious work” and an “impeccable sound” by various nincompoops, the band’s live act features Brian Carey (bass), Maria Ferrugia (tambourine), Sam Weinberger (keys), in addition to Reina (drums) and Wunderlich (vocals/piano/guitar). They want to melt your face with the best Americana music you’ve never heard. https://thewonderlicks.band

Formed over a mutual love of American roots music, including classic country and rock & roll, Whiskey Biscuits sets serve as a tribute to undersung songwriters (Flying Burrito Bros, John Prine, Warren Zevon), radio favorites (The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty), and a catalog of original music influenced by all of the above. The band has garnered a reputation for rowdy live performances and has become a sought-after act among the Brooklyn country scene, working weekly as the house band at the famed 250+ capacity venue, Desert 5 Spot, as well as making regular appearances at respected country scene institution Skinny Dennis. Having cut their teeth here, the band feels a special relationship to 11th St Bar and sees these shows as an opportunity to share in the collective culture of song that has long been part of the bar’s identity. The Whiskey Biscuits sets at 11th St are characterised by an emphasis on original material and more obscure covers aimed at the heads, often culminating in a dancing-on-tables celebration of rock and roll songwriting.

The Whiskey Biscuits
Thursday October 2nd
The Whiskey Biscuits are a five-piece country-rock band based in Brooklyn, NY. Formed over a mutual love of American roots music, including classic country and rock & roll, Whiskey Biscuits sets serve as a tribute to undersung songwriters (Flying Burrito Bros, John Prine, Warren Zevon), radio favorites (The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty), and a catalog of original music influenced by all of the above. The band has garnered a reputation for rowdy live performances and has become a sought-after act among the Brooklyn country scene, working weekly as the house band at the famed 250+ capacity venue, Desert 5 Spot, as well as making regular appearances at respected country scene institution Skinny Dennis. Having cut their teeth here, the band feels a special relationship to 11th St Bar and sees these shows as an opportunity to share in the collective culture of song that has long been part of the bar’s identity. The Whiskey Biscuits sets at 11th St are characterised by an emphasis on original material and more obscure covers aimed at the heads, often culminating in a dancing-on-tables celebration of rock and roll songwriting.
Benjamin Miller Band
Tuesday October 7th
Benjamin Miller sings honky-tonk numbers and sad songs for Minneapolis country band The Federales, sings psychedelic folk and 1960s rock ’n’ roll for himself, and plays bass for a few NYC Americana bands. Ben started writing songs after stints in country cover bands around the Twin Cities and then soaked up tons of musical inspiration while making videos for public radio show Live from Here. For fans of: Bob Dylan’s harmonica on John Wesley Harding, Neil Young’s On the Beach, Kate Bollinger, long winter scarves, easy-to-make rye whiskey cocktails.
The Brothers Yee
Wednesday October 8th
The now famous Second Wednesday of Every Month Residency is always a full on treat of a performance. Fronted by P.J. O'Connor and Billy Ryan with the backing band of Chris Fischer, Brendan Ryan, and Patrick Carmichael… although you never know who may show up and join them. They adapt their show every month with new artists in their catalogue. No two shows are ever the same!
E. James Smith Band
Thursday October 9th
E. James Smith, a friend of 11th Street Bar since its opening in 1997, returns with The E. James Smith Band in fine form ready to rock and launch the 11th Bar into summer. The band will be featuring many songs from the album Don’t Ge Me Wrong… such as The Grove, She’ll Take You So High, Abel to Jesus, Afterlife Without You and several new surprises. Thursday nights with the EJS Band are always an exciting event, so don’t miss it. https://linktr.ee/ejamessmith
Luba Dvorak
Tuesday October 14th
One should take heed to conflate Luba Dvorak, the man, with the Luba Dvorak behind six strings and a microphone. The former is a family man carrying a music tradition passed along through his bloodline. He is a taciturn figure of observation and honest reflection; but make no mistake, there is a reckoning that churns beneath that calm surface. You may think that you know him, but there is a part of him that you’ve most certainly misunderstood. Perched above and just behind a microphone set center-stage, Luba Dvorak smelts his private demeanor and shapes it into a pair of dark sunglasses which he stashes beneath his brow hidden behind the brim of a hat. The quiet mystery of the man becomes a brash amalgam of roots influences that delivers tales of passionate struggle, celebration, and perhaps even a bit of warning. He will growl and croon. He will shred and pick. He will shimmy and kick. He will rock and he will tonk. He drinks a white wine spritzer with a red wine chaser. You may think you know him, but you’ve probably only begun to misunderstand him. He is an artist with much to say in a tradition that is commonly regarded as in memoriam, yet Luba returns to that place to decorate the headstone with respect and to vow to keep the art of the folk singer alive and thriving, finding poignant ways to remind us all that his role is a conception of reverence to a craft that deserves preservation for our own moments of despair and revelry. From being born in Czechoslovakia, raised in Vancouver, Canada, and honed by New York City, Luba moved in 2017 to found his next settlement for “Brooklyn Twang” in Houston, Texas, where he leaned into the musical influence of a tradition all its own. His latest album, “Dumpster Fire,” pays tribute to the sonic stylings of a City and State with their own particular flare of deliberate intent. It is as adept at slowly bleeding time from under the tourniquet of the hill country as it is presenting a bit of chin music with the force of freeway traffic. As you come to know this collection of songs, you may find that you’ve misunderstood yourself, and that’s just what Luba, the man, would like. Luba Dvorak Website
Bastards of Fine Arts
Wednesday October 15th
A supergroup of sorts featuring veteran singer-songwriters Matt Keating and Steve Mayone. Comparisons to Nashville Skyline-era Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Wilco, The Jayhawks and other upbeat auteurs… In short, a melodic potpourri that allows for a sumptuous set of songs. Formed in 2015 by songwriter veterans Matt Keating and Steve Mayone, the Bastards have amassed an impressive catalogue, debuting new songs on their popular New Song Forward Friday series. With Jason Mercer on Bass and Greg Wieczorek on Drums, the Bastards just released their debut album! Bastards Of Fine Arts Website
Hugh Pool Band
Thursday October 16th
The Hugh Pool Band has a residency here at 11th St. Bar on the third Thursday of each month unless Hugh’s out of town rocking the rest of America. Hugh is a musician, songwriter, producer, and member of the New York Blues Hall of Fame who plays guitar in a unique style that melds traditional Delta blues, country music and classic and psychedelic rock and roll. His instrument of choice is a National Steel Triolian, a resonator guitar somewhat like a Dobro, played with a spark plug wrench through an Ibanez TS-9 overdrive pedal and a Dunlop Dyna comp compressor. He also plays Harmonica, Banjo, Lap Steel, Mandolin, sings and plays standard electric guitars. He is joined by Ken Rich on Bass and either Keith Robinson or James Wormsworth on drums. www.HughPool.com
Liverpool Football Club
11th St. Bar is the long-standing Official home of the New York Liverpool Supporters Club. Although LFCNY has expanded their reach with new bars, membership is still handled exclusively at the 11th St. Bar (on match days only).
The bar typically opens one hour before each game. Please check our events page for exact times. We do not accept reservations. It is first come first serve until we hit our capacity of 125.
Anyone can come to the bar, but if you are under 21, you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. For big games, we would always recommend getting to the bar as early as possible to gain entry. We can’t tell you exactly how early to get here as it varies every game.
11th St. Bar itself is becoming quite famous in Liverpool and is on the list of tourist attractions for visiting fans. On game days the fans tend to be exclusively Liverpool fans, though opposing fans are also very welcome. Game days are well worth the visit, especially the big games with all the singing, chanting, and excitement associated with the great tradition of Liverpool Football Club.
You’ll Never Walk Alone at 11th St. Bar!

...The bartenders were everything you wanted them to be. Unpretentious and attentive. Even when they were busy, they would give a nod to let you know that they'll be right with you...

A very cozy little gem in the East Village. This was our respite from the craziness on Cinco De Mayo and we were so glad to find it. Plenty of seating, reasonably priced, and a nice atmosphere...
