Shrine World Music Bar, named after the home and performance spot of Nigerian musician and Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, is housed in the former headquarters of Harlem’s largest Black charity, the Black United Fund Plaza.
While Shrine Bar has a long history, it has also become a hub for young creatives and longtime Harlem residents.
Classic big band jazz, roots reggae, old school funk, a folk singer-songwriter, or modern soul could all be heard in a single night.
While you’re here, try some of our classic bar foods like the Fela Burger or wings, or if you’re into the more Mediterranean fare, try some of our Yatenga Toast or Jerusalem Toast, and wash it all down with one of our signature cocktails like the Muslim-Jew or the Afro Trip.
