Stopped at the pub for a drink and asked about the session. The bar maid said that it was not an open session but the same folks playing each time--a performance.
Checked out this session during a short visit to NYC in December 2011. As John said in an earlier comment it's not an open session. It seemed as though every session I asked about in Manhattan was run more as a performance; amplified etc. Great musicians, proper tunes and a decent bar at Doc Watson's, so would recommend it as a gig anyway. Starts at 9.30pm, before that it's more of a sports bar.
