The Bitter End is a nightclub in New York City's Greenwich Village. It opened its doors in 1961 at 147 Bleecker Street under the auspices of original owner Fred Weintraub. During the early 1960s the club hosted Folk music "hootenanies" every Tuesday night featuring many performers who have since become legendary. During its heyday the Bitter End showcased a wide range of talented and legendary musicians, comedians and theatrical performers. An earlier club, "The Cock and Bull" operated on the same premises with the same format, in the late 1950s. The poet/comedian Hugh Romney (who later became known as Wavy Gravy) read there. The City of New York bestowed landmark status to the nightclub on July 23, 1992.
Gaga started doing Open Mic night at fourteen with her mother. Later, the club became her home base from 2005 to 2007.
