Absolutely amazing! Drinks are great and the atmosphere is on fire! The singers and bartenders are fantastic, and friendly! Would totally recommend this bar. Laid back easy going, funny and comical. Rather it’s a last minute or date night, come visit this place! Hands down my favorite place in NY!

Good and bad.
I like the concept a lot, and it seemed like most of the customers were having a good time.
The bartenders were kind, but kept pushing about tipping them highly every 5 minutes.
Also the suggested tip for the pianist is at least 5$ per request.
I requested to sing a song and waited for 40-50 minutes, without knowing when is my turn - and there were only 2 other women who requested to sing before me. The rest of the 40 minutes were the bartenders singing solos and duets, having a good time and keep reminding us to tip them. (The most mainstream - Big Pony Club, Shallow and Bohemian Rhapsody, but that's a matter of taste I guess)
Personally I found it very annoying, as I came there to sing and not to watch the bartenders sing.
My bill was 7.5$ for club soda with bitters. I drink it in many bars and it's usually 3$.

So basically I feel it's a tourist trap that sees people as walking ATMs.

The bartenders gave me a reasonable service with a smile and the floor manager Shaul was very good hearted.

But the experience left me with a bitter taste and I wouldn't come again.

Top bar. Happy hour and piano music was great. Bar service with a smile and a blast on the microphone! Well worth a visit

No idea how this place gets high ratings. Overpriced drinks (even for NYC), and I think I’ve heard better singers in our local high school musicals. I saw a broadway show the night before I came here and I can assure you the talent at this place doesn’t come close. Won’t return. So many better things to do in NY

Had enough of the mahem of Times Square one night and really wanted to find an open mic, piano or jazz bar to sit, chill and listen. A Google search led me to here. It was lovely. A small place but a nice little vibe. The lady playing the piano and singing was good, as was the lady behind the bar that belted out the first sing while still serving drinks and doing the till. A nice little gem of a place away from the madness that NYC has, so if you need to recharge or chill out for an evening, come here... just Don't Tell Mama ;-)

We had THE BEST time here. The flatbread pizza was pretty good, the drinks spendy, but the singing and entertainment was top notch. We thought it was just the guy at the piano singing but then every waiter and the bartenders were singing and it was all-around fun. They take tips for requests. Highly recommend!

Amazing and kind place. Welcoming and fun place to hear some amazing talent while they make your drinks. Love this place!! No cover, just buy two drinks. Lovely time. You can use credit card. I have no idea why anyone would give a bad review of this bar. Visited it many times- even when all the staff had to day off for a wedding. The stand in’s were also amazing and welcoming.

Older leaning crowd. Was very quiet until the piano singalong after 9pm, which was was fun. Friendly bartenders. Had a couple of the small apps which were good but nothing special.

Been here many times over the years. Last couple of times the atmosphere was a little subdued, which I attribute to a low energy piano/entertainer. Host and waitress were great.
