The Nightingale Bar, 213 2nd Avenue (13th Street), was a neighborhood bar with a "stage" about 3 or 4 inches off the ground.  It was a regular stop on the late '80s early '90s East Village music scene, and hosted acts like Blues Traveler, The Aquanets, Strangefolk, God Street Wine, The Spin Doctors and, of course The Other Half.  Drinks started around $2.50 and the cover was usually $4 or $5. (For comparison, in 1991, minimum wage in NY was $4.25/hour.)  Eventually bands like The Other Half migrated to Wetlands and other larger venues.  Nightingale's lingered until about 2013 and was replaced by a beer/drinks/brunch place.

Enjoy!
