About Tubby's

Since opening its doors in 2018, Tubby’s in Midtown Kingston has become a cornerstone of the Hudson Valley’s underground music scene. What began as a bold experiment by co-owner Cory Plump and his partners met with skepticism for bringing Austin-style DIY energy to upstate New York. Today, Tubby's has grown into one of the region’s most vital and beloved venues. Hosting a mix of indie legends, avant-jazz icons, noise rockers, and rising experimental acts, Tubby’s punches far above its 100-person capacity, cultivating a loyal audience and a stacked roster of performers who return again and again for its unmatched vibe and hospitality.

More than just a bar or club, Tubby’s is a community-built haven for artists and audiences alike. With its signature dub-heavy sound system, inclusive ethos, and thoughtful perks like home-cooked meals and an in-town band apartment, the venue offers a rare level of care that resonates deeply with touring musicians. Tubby’s isn’t just a place to hear great music, it’s one of the most respected DIY venues in the country.
