It enjoyed a multi-year string of success at pulling in major musical acts and at premiering new talent. Bruce Springsteen played legendary show-case gigs and Lou Reed recorded the album there. The Bottom Line hosted mainly folk music, playing home to Loudon Wainwright III and others, but also hosting acts ranging from Dolly Parton to Ravi Shankar to the Ramones.The Bottom Line held 400 people and differs from modern clubs in that there was seating, rather than being standing room only. The club also had a no smoking policy long before it became law.
