The intimate space quickly became one of New York's most in demand venues for music, theater, cabaret, dance, and comedy, presenting artists from over 90 countries. The Village Voice voted Joe's Pub the "Best Excuse to Let a Single Venue Dictate Your Taste". Newsweek calls the club "one of the country's best small stages" and New York Magazine raves "you never know what you'll find next at Joe's Pub, but you can count on the fact that it will be good, very good."
