Played at the open mic BMK and it was a great experience overall! Good talent, great stage with awesome sound. Great for performers! The only thing I disagreed with is making performers buy a ticket to have a (very small) time slot in the open mic. I’ve been to many open mics in different cities and never had to pay. If a performer is playing I don’t think they should have to buy a ticket. I mean without the performers, there is no event. Otherwise a fun experience and would recommend if you’re looking for a good open mic with talent and a nice crowd

They force people to have a drink minimum even after paying admission. Terrible service. Owner stalks the staff.

This a newer venue that seriously puts many of the city’s other indie music spots to the test in terms of sound quality and having great humans involved. Jesse and co run quite a fine operation. The live music is crystal clear, and the crowds are warm and supportive.

I’m in a band called Fork Soup, and BMK is a venue we LOVE to play for a few reasons. The venue’s acoustics sound great, the stage space itself is roomy and is decked out with trippy lights and video animations, the crowd is fun, and the staff is super friendly. My band has played gigs at BMK for two years, but I’m only writing this review now to give special recognition to BMK’s new Events Coordinator, Autumn. Her professionalism and courtesy, in my opinion, is rare in the NYC music scene, and for me, it really put the whole night over the top. We can’t wait to play BMK again!

The billing is jazz but it's more like rock and R&B. The food is a letdown. Don't order the butterfly shrimp. I had to send it back. It was likely a frozen product.

This bar is hard to rate at current because they're just getting started. I should preface that every staff member was incredibly kind. I think it's perfect for smaller groups or some sort of play piece. The tables are blocked from the stage by anyone standing and the single bathroom and kitchen share the same thin hallway. The sound system is good but the space is so long that it doesn't really make for a good audio experience. There's a lot to be figured out here. The food was okay, it leaves a lot to be desired for the price and I can't recommend anything except the chicken empanada. The bar also added an autogratuity to my single tab that was hard to see so i ended up double tipping which was a buzzkill to my night.
full house, so understaffed, couldn’t even get a drink

Events , meal and drinks are all separate tickets which threw me off than placing on one tab. So many white people were served before my party even though they arrived later than us. Need more staff servers for a full house.

Great space for a private event or date. Music stage is a good size for a medium size band and a great sound system. Bartenders are nice and the spiced old fashioned is a very tasty drink. Chicken sliders were tasty and filling. Chicken empanadas were ok. Cheesecake would have been better with a better gram cracker crust
