Rodeo Bar & Grill
New York’s best Texas-style honkytonk is in Murray Hill? Good shows of country, bluegrass and rockabilly are staged nightly for a foot-tappin’ Manhattan crowd. There are creative margaritas and plenty of steaks, fajitas, burgers and veggie dishes, too.

Sidewalk Café
Anti-folk forever! Never mind the Sidewalk’s burger-bar appearance outside; inside is the home of New York’s ‘anti-folk’ scene, where the Moldy Peaches carved out their legacy before Juno got knocked up. The open-mic ‘anti-hootenanny’ is Monday night.

Banjo Jim’s
The latest of the nonrock scene on Ave C, Banjo Jim’s – a tiny dive with a good jukebox and friendly atmosphere – hosts a nightly crew of banjo pickers and lap-steel players. Most nights have standard lineups of a few acts, with no cover but a pass-the-hat policy.

People’s Voice Café
Long live the Rads! Around since 1979, this old-fashioned peacemonger group stages plenty of quirk-folk shows and a fair share of political folkies with a guitar and a message. Shows are held inside the Community Church of NY at 8pm Saturdays, with a $15 suggested donation.

Jalopy
This fringe Carroll Gardens/Red Hook banjo shop – which offers lessons – has a fun DIY space with cold beer for its bluegrass, country and ukulele shows, including a feel-good Roots ‘n’ Ruckus show on Wednesday nights.
