    One of my favorite places in all of Manhattan! Great music, awesome drinks (that don’t break the bank) and such an amazing vibe/energy.The aesthetic is perfect. An absolute must.

    Lovely place. Good music and buying a drink got your nails fixed 😀

  • Review 3 (2023-03-26 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing bar. So unique - you can even get your nails done! Awesome place to dance or just chill out, and everyone was so nice.

  • Review 4 (2024-06-17 - Rating: 5)

    This is the best bar ever. Everyone who works here is fabulous. There is live music or a DJ after 10 or 11. I believe that Th-Sunday if you purchase a certain amount, you also get a free manicure. I had my nails done and it was fabulous!This bar has a timeless quality and calls a clientele that are friendly, chill, interesting and fun. It is such a great place! I one hundred percent recommend this bar. It is a must. The preservation of the bars past through integration into its current life just adds to the pleasant vibe. I am so happy a friend of mine showed me this one.

    Love this little dance bar in NYC.Its an former beauty salon and you can see it in the deco and before 10pm you still can get a decent manicure for 10$ (one drink included).The dance floor in the back room is on the smaller side and at busy times it feels overcrowded. But the music was always dancable and groovy ;-)Drinks are strong and reasonable priced, staff very friendly.

  • Review 6 (2024-08-22 - Rating: 5)

    I went there 7 minutes ago but still think about how amazing the bartender was. Couldnt wait to finish my drink and get another. And it was so fantastically made too.

  • Review 7 (2024-09-01 - Rating: 4)

    I used to love this bar so much. That was ten years ago and the vibe has changed so much. If you never visited this bar before, please do it. But if you’re wondering if going back after some years is a good idea, please don’t. The lights are so bright now, the music is like all the 80’s hit wonders over and over and over.Customer service is very very good and the crowd is young, like between 21 and 35 tops. Lots of young women during their girls night out and very young couples.It feels like a home party with a Spotify playlist. In a good way and just if you like 80’s hits and being sweat.

  • Review 8 (2022-07-14 - Rating: 5)

    This is a great place. When I first saw this place I thought it was an old beauty salon but in fact it’s an active and functioning one. Manicure is the most expensive experience here which is $10 and they also gift a cocktail.

  • Review 9 (2024-11-20 - Rating: 5)

    Best glam rock bar in NYC, dont doubt about it!

  • Review 10 (2024-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    My friends found this place one night, and what a find! This cozy little place turns from a salon to a bar/night club after hours. They had this cool, retro music playing all night.The dance floor was packed, but we were still able to get a little dance circle going. The drinks were good, and reasonably priced. Even though the place is small (cozy), they had some seating available for when you might want to just chill and chat for a while.Both the staff and clientele were friendly, which completed the pleasant experience of the night. I would highly recommend giving it a try.

  • Review 11 (2020-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    Delicious drinks and now delicious hot dogs are on Deck. Stop by and grab a frozen margarita or whatever your thirst desires. Best bartender is always at the Booth

  • Review 12 (2021-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    Greatest bar in NYC! Punk rock vibes splattered with glitter, glam and hair dryer chairs.

  • Review 13 (2023-09-26 - Rating: 5)

    Great bar with fun and retro vibes. Good dance floor and eclectic seating. Loved dancing to Abba and other older hits. If youre in the area, Id recommend stopping by!

  • Review 14 (2024-04-08 - Rating: 4)

    Good old school Lower East Side bar with an extensive back room that has a bar and dance floor.Good deejays, bartenders that make MEAN & STRONG cocktails.

  • Review 15 (2024-04-25 - Rating: 4)

    Quintissential dive bar. Former beauty salon where the beehive hair driers are still hanging. Dancing in the back room on weekends with some of New Yorks best retro DJs spinning tunes from the 1980s and 1990s

  • Review 16 (2023-02-14 - Rating: 5)

    Such a fun spot, with great music & great prices! If youre looking for an amazing time Def go on Friday or Saturday when the dance floor is open! Just be prepped to possibly wait for a drink cause it can get packed but trust me, the bartenders noticed you haha!

  • Review 17 (2022-11-28 - Rating: 4)

    This place is super cute! I love the dancing, cute retro beauty chairs & the drinks are a pretty good price. The crowd is usually on the younger side. (NYU kids)It does tend to get packed early on in the night on weekends.

  • Review 18 (2022-06-29 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic bar that has been a part of the neighborhood for decades. Do you want to hear 80s music with reasonably priced drinks, not too cheap, not too expensive, this is where you want to party!! Spread the news! There’s a wonderful house music party that happens the last Thursday of every month.It’s fine Dj JMP Williams , that’s the bomb!!We have Michael Tee and friends on the weekends.! And a group of veteran bartenders is that rock!! Please share with your friends!!!!

  • Review 19 (2018-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    Nice bar, NYC icon, ya got a DJ, and Stella was a great bartender. Negroni!

  • Review 20 (2017-06-22 - Rating: 4)

    Cocktails were splendid, the bartenders are nice, the manicures are ok but over all it has the makings for a great time.

  • Review 21 (2017-02-13 - Rating: 4)

    Cool spot. Its a little dingy but thats part of the charm. Awesome bartenders and you cant beat a free manicure with a purchase of a cocktail. Its not the best manicure however it did last pretty long for a regular manicure.I love the vintage hair dryers and beauty shop decor, makes for fun picture taking. Drinks are pretty stiff. They do have dancing and events in the back but I didnt stay long enough to check it out. We pretty much came to start the night off and ended up elsewhere. I will come back and to the drink + mani again (btw, I think it was about $10 all together, not bad at all). I will add pictures later :)

  • Review 22 (2017-05-30 - Rating: 4)

    They have a $20 minimum for cards but the manicure/drink is only $10 so come prepared or you will have to awkwardly pay your girlfriend back later.

  • Review 23 (2018-08-26 - Rating: 5)

    Its right across the street from the nugget place. The beauty bar was our last fling for the weekend and saved us from having a dreadful night (it was raining and cold out). Drinks were cheap, the bartenders were kind and ambience was perfect. Plus you could get a free manicure when you order a drink. After 8 or so karaoke 🎤 was available and so the night continued with many laughs, lots of singing and awesome people.

  • Review 24 (2018-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    Beauty Bar is great. I find myself there often. Very different and quirky crowd. Post punk meets glam rock with pop ins from hipsters and “normal” people. The Owner is a cool guy too. Get your nails done while you booze it up if that’s your kind of thing. Good drink specials, especially PBR cans. Comedy shows that are staged every so often are actually done at a high level and very funny.

  • Review 25 (2024-09-28 - Rating: 4)

    There are not many places you can have a martini and get your nails done. Love it

  • Review 26 (2016-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    I love Beauty Bars DJs, their bartenders, the atmosphere. Its just a good, fun, unpretentious place to get a drink, and theyre always spinning interesting music that you dont often hear in Manhattan bars. Anyone that gives this place fewer than four stars doesnt get it. I agree though, the place gets hot. Dress accordingly.

  • Review 27 (2023-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    You get your favorite drink and an entire manicure for $10. The music is frighteningly loud. The wonderful bartender named Brock makes the most perfect Cosmopolitan in the Eastern seaboard

  • Review 28 (2013-11-22 - Rating: 5)

    From the beginning this place astonished me. the vibe is great, they offered a promotion of cocktail (very tasty) plus manicure for only $10! the dj in the back room was spinning amazing 80s-90s mixes and we were dancing all night

  • Review 29 (2018-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    This was a really cool bar. You could just drink and hang out or you could also get your nails done...i think. The lighting was really low and I cant imagine theres any level of sanitation in there (except the alcohol) so I chose to just drink at happy hour. The prices were pretty cheap too. Definitely would go again.

  • Review 30 (2022-07-11 - Rating: 5)

    Always a great time! A go-to spot whenever youre craving that true NYC city vibe. Well run, with a skilled staff that are very welcoming. An East Village mainstay everyone must experience!

  • Review 31 (2024-07-10 - Rating: 5)

    I have off and on come here for over 20 years, this is a family loved establishment! Highly recommend! Drinks are amazing! Also they do have a hired manicurist there that does nails as well!

  • Review 32 (2022-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    Loved this place, although the lady in the bar was not in a good mood

  • Review 33 (2022-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    Hand down one my favorites bars in the city. The music here is always good and drinks are decently priced. It feels like a dive bar but still very classy and got a character to it.

  • Review 34 (2023-04-20 - Rating: 5)

    Its always a great time when I go. Drinks are very well priced. Dance floor is a bit crowded but fun.

  • Review 35 (2023-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    Brock is the BEST bartender in NYC ever. Period! Love my manicure by Veritee.Totally love Beauty Bar!!! Thank you, Mike!

  • Review 36 (2020-02-14 - Rating: 5)

    What a cool littler bar. Came here late at night and people were still getting their nails done which was pretty neat. They have old movies playing in the background of 80s/disco music and overall was really good vibes. Definitely would go back

  • Review 37 (2022-11-08 - Rating: 4)

    Pros:- 80s music and remixes- not overly crowded in front area lounge or back area dance floor- very unique decore with the salon chairs from the 50sCons:- nothing really bad to say

  • Review 38 (2016-10-16 - Rating: 4)

    You need to be in the right frame of mind to go here. That free being buckwild girl power madness. Guys this is a great place to meet single ladies. Ladies, this is a great place to cut loose, also where else can you get a cocktail and a manicure? Gets crowded. Young crowd. If you fit all these factors you will have a good time.

  • Review 39 (2019-02-23 - Rating: 5)

    Quirky dive vibe and a rockin’ happy hour. Good spot right off the L.

  • Review 40 (2024-12-22 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic bar! With great music !

  • Review 41 (2022-10-15 - Rating: 5)

    My new favorite bar in Manhattan. The bartenders were super friendly and the drinks reasonably priced. The decor is super kitschy. I loved it. I didnt get a manicure but will be back for one next time. 80s music a plus!

  • Review 42 (2019-02-02 - Rating: 5)

    Unique concept, very cool decor. Ill be back to get my nails done.

  • Review 43 (2018-03-04 - Rating: 5)

    Music is totally rad. Ladies get your banana clips and mood lipstick ready. gents, find that pastel blazer white t shirts and a gold chain. This place is a time warp. Feels like black mirrors san juiper and stranger things were filmed in the back.

  • Review 44 (2019-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    Best gem in the east village. Bartender with the 1920s hat is my personal favorite. They might use the same playlist over and over again but its a smash so who cares? Cheap drinks (for nyc), great dance floor, and honestly its such a dive that you could see anything. Ive seen people in homestuck cosplay grind to dont go breaking my heart. I almost always close this place out when Im in the east village and never regret it. That said, bring a friend and drink responsibly when youre out in NYC. Enjoy !

  • Review 45 (2024-04-05 - Rating: 5)

    Fun ! No one is out of place here, great atmosphere, music and everyone is friendly.

  • Review 47 (2013-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    Take your daughter or dogs best friend. Beauty Bar is the meat sauce to my pasta. When I unintentionally happened upon this place, I lied and said that I go there all the time. If I could, I would. Because its excellent.

  • Review 48 (2023-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    Super awesome place to visit while you are in town. Got an awesome drink and manicure along with a great atmosphere.

  • Review 49 (2018-10-23 - Rating: 4)

    Manicures throughout the night on weekend with a drink purchase. The weekdays the manicurists are out by midnight, may be even eleven. Cute yet dicey. Small but great for pics.

  • Review 50 (2019-02-13 - Rating: 5)

    Beauty Bar has an awesome vibe about it. It can swing from being wildly crowded to being really laid back and low key. Either way, cheap beers and whiskey in a dimly lit ostensible beauty salon? You can even get a manicure on certain nights. Hey you do you.

  • Review 51 (2024-06-27 - Rating: 5)

    Went after 2a on Saturday night. Dance floor was hoppin good music, great time. I am on the older side, felt comfortable, nice crowd.

    Lovely bar. Happy Hours til 9pm. $5 Well Drinks, $3 Beers. $10 Drink/Mani Combo! Comedy nights start at 8:30pm!

  • Review 53 (2021-04-29 - Rating: 4)

    So I came here because i thought they still have the manicure and drink like they did before COVID but they don’t for obvious reasons, they have a great atmosphere for drinks and I will be going back soon, I do recommend it.

  • Review 54 (2015-03-31 - Rating: 5)

    Great music! In the back theres a dance floor and they were playing Motown and 80s throwbacks. There can sometimes be a short line to get in, but its worth it!

  • Review 55 (2016-09-04 - Rating: 4)

    Really awesome vibes on the dance floor. Love the pink glittered walls. Friendly bars. Decent prosecco on tap for $8.

  • Review 56 (2018-05-23 - Rating: 5)

    Great bar, lively dancing in the back and no cover. The front is not too loud that you cant talk.

  • Review 57 (2022-12-01 - Rating: 5)

    There was a little nail salon set up in the middle of the bar when i went. there’s a disco dance floor in the back room too! very unique little bar

  • Review 58 (2023-04-15 - Rating: 5)

    An underrated spot in an unexpected neighborhood. Old school salon vibes meet an underground comedy spot, with a manicurist thrown in for good measure.

  • Review 59 (2018-06-03 - Rating: 4)

    My last night in NYC came here. Had a blast love the vibe love the music. The next time I can get my ass over to the east coast I will definitely be coming back here.

  • Review 60 (2012-06-13 - Rating: 4)

    For $10 you can get a delicious martini and a manicure at this landmark beauty salon turned bar & lounge. We’re fond of the Wave No Wave night on Tuesdays.

  • Review 71 (2022-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    The bartender was cool. The place used to be a salon and kept some of the equipment intact.

  • Review 72 (2017-03-15 - Rating: 4)

    Love the decor and that it used to be an actual beauty bar. Great drink prices and you cant beat $10 for a manicure and a cocktail. Free comedy most nights. The only drawback is that because its on 14th, it can attract some yuppies.

  • Review 73 (2019-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    Just too, too, much fun. Even for a bunch of old ladies as us. We range in age from 46 to 65 and let me tell you...even in the mob of trendy and cool 20 somethings we felt welcomed and not at all out of place. There were smiles everywhere. It was crowded but not obscenely so. The staff are friendly and as efficient as I could expect given the amount of people in there on a Friday night.

  • Review 75 (2024-01-16 - Rating: 5)

    I have been to Beauty Bar many times with my friends. Over the weekend, my coat was taken (most likely by a friend of mine) in a private room that was reserved for a birthday party. I reached out to the owner, Michael, the following day and he was more than happy to let me review the security camera footage to see who took my coat. He stayed for over two hours when the bar was closed to see we reviewed all of the footage. We did not find who took my coat but fortunately I was able to find it at a neighboring bar. I am very thankful for him taking the time and assisting me in finding who may have taken my coat. I would definitely recommend coming here on a weekend for drinks with friends, but just keep track of your coat!

  • Review 113 (2023-03-07 - Rating: 4)

    I visited on August 3rd, 2016. Eccentric but relaxed neighborhood bar. You can come here as you are and fit in. The pretension level is 0. I had fun (I am a straight male) getting the free manicure (ok, I tipped the technician with her favorite drink!). The male bartender was rude. Ive been to NYC probably 6 times and this is the first stereotypically rude New Yorker Ive met, although Im a midwesterner, so put it in perspective. The older woman working behind the bar was fun and made me and some newly acquired friends some interesting drinks, gratis. It was comedy night; unfortunately not very good however.

The staff is cool the drinks are still cheap. Also, fun for photos if you want to pretend you’re in an old beauty salon while getting ripped with friends!

    What a gem. Do yourself a favor and go. Grab a drink, dance to some disco, and dont forget your mani. These folks probably dont need my kudos but as a member of team BK, I felt compelled to give props to this Manhattan insitution.

  • Review 122 (2018-08-15 - Rating: 4)

    Went there on a Friday night with friend to celebrate a birthday. Its a nice little bar with a really fun aesthetic and a rear area for dancing or presumably private events. The drinks were well-priced and the service was fast. The crowd was a bit older, which was a nice change from all the young, student bars in the area. It had an atmosphere of more relaxed fun instead of loud drinking.

    Cool bar and is an interesting concept. Young crowd and music wasnt great. But would try again.

    Amazing place great energy. The best DJs in NYC and great Bartenders and managers. A great classy bar. They used to do hair and nails there as well. If you are in NYC drop by.

    Beauty bar is a great bar. You can get your nails done and dance to good music. I’ve been coming here since the early 2000s. You’ll have a good time here.

    This place is a classic. Been here for decades. Girls behind the bar know what theyre doing. Backroom excellent for fooling around~👍👍

    Friendly staff and reasonable prices.The drinks will put hair on your chest.Or remove hair from your chest. Or possibly paint from your walls. Either way, they are unapologetically strong.Fun themed dive bar

    Plenty of room for dancing!!! A little crowded, seemed to mainly be early twenty-something’s.

    Super fun and nice break from thenormal bar routine

  • Review 133 (2019-06-27 - Rating: 5)

    I absolutely loved this place. For being on 14th St their drink prices are great. Not to mention you can get a manicure for $10 that includes a cocktail! The manicurist that day was super friendly and she did a great job! The vibe is chill and laid back. The nostalgic beauty salon theme is awesome. They have comedy specials weekly and burlesque twice a month on Mondays. Will definitely be back!

  • Review 134 (2018-03-29 - Rating: 5)

    Friendly atmosphere, the door guys check your IDs right at the door but are always sweet and usually flirty. This is a casual neighborhood bar where you can get a flavor for the whole block. A lot of alphabet city residents drink there. Its the perfect place for a great night to start.

  • Review 135 (2021-08-22 - Rating: 5)

    Reasonable drinks, cool unique vibe and cool dance floor in the back that gets busy on weekends (in a good way). Lots of energy back there, and in general this bar has a great vibe.

  • Review 138 (2018-04-10 - Rating: 5)

    Had a great time dancing on a Saturday night in March 2018. I dont even recall being IDed until I purchased my drink. The music made the atmosphere, very retro 70s/80s style. Everyone in the bar was singing along, and we even hung our coats on a coat rack by the washrooms which was a relief. Not sure if there is coat check, but Im glad we were able to get passed it and safely got our items back at the end of the night.

    Went to see my friend perform. Pretty cool spot very vintage.

  • Review 140 (2019-10-09 - Rating: 5)

    Spent my birthday here with a group of friends and danced the night away! I just love it here. The inside is a 50s salon turned bar and besides the fact that you can get your nails done and have a drink from the bar, the atmosphere is exactly what I look for : lively, fun, intimate and trendy.

  • Review 141 (2018-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    I dont know what ones preconceptions might be, but Beauty is an outstanding dive. With the added benefit of stylists that can do hair, manicures, and pedicures should the mood strike you. Late night it doubles as a dance club in the back, great DJs spinning an eclectic mix of punk and other, bound to get one moving.

  • Review 142 (2017-07-22 - Rating: 4)

    Some people are calling this a dive bar, I wouldnt call it that. I think its a staple neighborhood classic and if you hit it on a good night with a few of your closest friends you are gonna have a great time. My first time was on a Saturday night and they were only playing throwback tunes, my friends got manicures along with their cocktails, and we danced all night after that. I went again for their karaoke night, seems like its a consistent crowd that attends that, got a little weird at times but didnt have a bad time!

    It a cool space good rock and roll music

  • Review 146 (2013-05-06 - Rating: 4)

    Neither the manicure nor the cocktails will be the best youve ever had, but its pretty hard to beat $10 for one of each. Ive only had the manicure twice and both times enjoyed chatting with my manicurist as much as anything else, and ended up satisfied with my nails and my drink. Good place for drinking right after work or very late at night - in between it gets a little too crowded for me, but not unbearable.

  • Review 147 (2018-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    If you have never been you should. Its a fun experience especially at night. Its a fun party. A staple of NY night life. Ladies can get their nails done and have a cocktail. Fun fun fun

  • Review 156 (2014-12-10 - Rating: 4)

    This place is a trip! The inside looks like a womens beauty salon, as implied by its name, but the back is where its at. This place was happening every time ive gone. They play 80s and 90s music which was amazing. Place gets very packed on a busy weekend night. If youre into old school music, Id highly recommend it.

  • Review 157 (2017-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    This place has a wide choice of liquors! On the top of that there was a comedy show going on behind bar, when we entered. The show was not bad for enjoying drinks. Overall this place had a nice vibe!

    Recently met up w others at this place I never heard of. We ended up here cuz original plans fell through --we had the best time ever. The 80s 90s mixes were on point, the bartenders were great, crowd was mixed and above all else the doorman is quite the character. Great times! Id go again

    East Village hot-spot. Best punk rock bar in NYC. You can even get a manicure! Very reasonable drinks for NYC, awesome DJs. Friendly bartenders with style. As a bonus its an awesome place for NYE! Im back for the 4th year in row all the way from Seattle. A great crowd of eclectic people, from film producers to chefs and actors. Come have a blast.
