“ This is one of the most happening spots I've ever been to! This 'speak easy'-esque piano bar will take you back in time and then wow you with their musical performances. I have had some of the best times of my life at this bar. ”
“ I’ll be honest, I only had wine here. They have coat check before entering the space and there was no wait time Saturday evening during jazz. The jazz was excellent. The wine was good. Even though it was super busy and lots of shuffling among small and large crowds my glass was always full. I enjoyed this space because it felt intimate like it’s closed off but it’s fully open and spacious. It was easy and inviting. ”
“ Joshua Bieber Trio provided the perfect end to a week in the city. Service was simply charming and the Old Fashioneds were spot on. You can come to listen to the music, or have a quiet conversation. It all goes. ”
“ Great little spot. I came when they opened at 5PM. Beautiful little place. They have great cocktails and refreshing mocktails. They play piano even before 7PM. I had their edamame hummus with the day’s crudites. Definitely recommend coming here after a day at the museum or if your in the neighborhood. I want to come back for the caviar dish :) ”
“ I got the blueberry nights and my date got the old fashioned. All good, service a bit slow but they apologized and said because Monday nights are usually not as busy. I could see that because around 10 it was all empty, but after we were there for an hour it was suddenly packed with a group of people. Would go back here for a drink with friends too. Live piano which is also ”
“ Came here with a bunch of friends on a Friday night. I’ve always wanted to try this place out and glad I was finally able to. The drinks were amazing, small plates were great and live music was 10/10! I need to come back :) ”
“ What a charming neighborhood find in the UES! We had passed this establishment many times in the daytime and never noticed . Then we had the opportunity to wonder in one evening on our walk. It has wonderful decor and an inviting vibe on the inside. And A Great and amazingly talented piano player! We came on a Thursday. Excellent bar food though selection is limited. The jazz band that followed the pianist were great musicians but the vocalist was horrible. Surely they could find a woman singer in the great city of New York who can actually sing. Disappointed in the music. Beautiful space with amazing ambiance and wonderful service. Will definitely go again. Hoping the next time there’s a better vocalist with the band. We actually snapped out of the dream and left because the singing was so bad. ”
“ Super cool spot with fantastic service, great drinks and good selection of bites. I really love the decor, it’s so elegant and a great addition to the neighborhood. The live music was so wonderful plus I made some new friends! Can’t wait to go back. In addition the ac worked well and it’s spot less clean and the chipped ice and crystal glassware is fabulous. Very diverse crowd too. Check it out!! ”
