Came here for the live Jazz, which sadly they do not have anymore. But it’s okay! The host gave us a tour of the place, it’s really cool. Great vibes! We decided to stay and have some apple cider. It was YUMMY! I added caramel flavor to mine… so good.

One of NYCs best-kept secrets. Wonderful atmosphere: dim lighting, dark wood and low ceilings. They have jazz nightly, usually guitar trios. The music has been excellent every time Ive been here. You can get food from La Lanterna, a high-end Italian restaurant next door. Theres no cover for the opening act; after that theres a $12 cover and 1-drink minimum - pretty reasonable.

Great little jazz room. Good intimate sounds and fun cocktails, as well as food. Only drawbacks are too tight a fit for band and audience, and quite pricey!

Nice cosi place.The food was nice (lasagna were good). I was disappointed by the tiramisu. Service was good.There was an amazing jazz trio playing that night (extra of 12$).

Great, intimate place to catch live jazz on Sunday nights.

Review 15 (2018-02-08 - Rating: 4)
Good spot, not an ideal layout for the entertainment - super solid boozy coffee drinks

Stuck overnight due to a flight cancellation. This was the best place to spend that night. Great music, drinks, and atmosphere. Ill be back anytime Im in the city. Highly recommend if anyone wants a personal and low key kind of night. Reminded me of some of the small jazz bars around New Orleans

It is a really nice place. It was a great experience for us visiting NYC for a few days. We were lucky to find this restaurant in the basement of a busy corner. Small, but good to hear good jazz in a intimate manner. Good acoustic. Very efficient and friendly service. Two sets of good jazz for a very convenient cover. Clean and confortable. Would love to go again.

Great place to enjoy jazz. Quiet, small and intimate affording wonderful experience of being close to the music. The staff is excellent, very non intrusive. The menu is actually pretty good for a jazz venue and not too overpriced. All in all, one of the best places to enjoy jazz in NYC

Showed up here on a Sunday night without reservations. Was sat quickly and food was excellent. The guy who was scheduled for the 10:00 set couldnt be there so a trio filled in. Im glad they did, music was superb! Luca, our waiter, was one of the friendliest people we met during our trip and gave us plenty of inside tips about things to see and do. Forget the more famous jazz places in the area, this is the spot to be.

Nice bar, good service. Oyster Rockefeller is fantastic

Review 21 (2020-01-09 - Rating: 5)
Excellent atmosphere and live music. The mulled wine was particularly enjoyable on a cold winter day! There’s no cover for the local artists, so if you get there before the first set you can still listen to wonderful jazz without paying extra.

Amazing place for jazz in the city. It is small - so make sure you make a reservation before you go. The food is reasonable (the pizzas are quite delicious), the service is friendly and the jazz is always good here. It is what jazz bars in NYC are known for.

Amazing place. Great jazz music. I tried the lasagna and it was really good. Drinks prices not expensive as I expected in Manhattan. Can´t wait to go again.

What an incredible place to spend an evening with friends, a date or just by yourself! This multi-level bar, restaurant and jazz club will become an instant favorite for anyone who loves a cozy atmosphere coupled with great service and good food. Come for the jazz, stay for the tiramisu.

One of the best jazz venues in the world

The lasagna al pesto was too good, I need to have it again. Nice outdoor dining area with good distance between tables.

Our favorite late night coffee and dessert place in the village. Victor has done an amazing job of carrying on the legacy of his dads legendary spot. The back garden is stunning and a warm, welcoming spot for a romantic chat at the end of the night.

We loved the place! At first we had dinner at the restaurant, which was delicious, and after we moved to the bar to listen to some jazz. Stuff was lovely and place in general is very atmospheric. Totally recommend

I love the bar next door. Theres live jazz and it has a very nice warm and intimate feel. It is really tiny and theres a cover, which were the only real drawbacks. The food at La Lanterna is pretty good too. I went for dinner and then migrated to the bar after.

Amazing pizza while having a very soothing, old fashioned, vibe.

Review 31 (2018-09-27 - Rating: 5)
Music was terrific! Three piece jazz band. They serve basis fare in the bar. Sandwiches, etc. Smoked salmon was wonderful! I will stop here again when Im in NYC!

Review 32 (2018-07-28 - Rating: 5)
One of the best little bars in the village, with jazz most nights, Wednesdays is often Jonathan kreisberg. Good bartender mixing perfect Manhattans, and you get the food from la lanterna next door: pizza, lasagna, etc. I love this place. Very small, very intimate setting for music and food. Usually a cover when theres music

Greatest Jazz Ive ever seen live. Great food and drinks.

Excellent atmosphere and food. The band was average but tried very hard. The fact that it was live music made up for the so-so band.

Intimate...intimate ... jazz

The night I arrived there was excellent live music. A small and intimate bar (and well air conditioned!).

Review 52 (2018-04-16 - Rating: 4)
An intimate gig pack, maybe not for nothing. If the place is full, the temperature rises quickly, and the huge pizza oven also brings that heat.
