The Cat Club (New York City Metal Club/80's and 90's)

The Cat Club — New York, NY (1983–1991)

Located at 76 East 13th Street, The Cat Club was a key fixture in NYC’s 1980s rock scene—loud, gritty, and unapologetically raw. Managed by Don Hill, it became a go-to venue for hard rock and glam metal, channeling the same high-volume energy as the Sunset Strip, but with a distinctly downtown edge.
