    Just a whole lot of fun. If you love Broadway songs, it’s a great place to be to sing your heart out. Pianist was a great singer and a whole lot of fun. Servers also had a chance to perform. It’s a small space and gets really cramped but worth it.Note that this place is cash only and a minimum of 2 drinks per person, plus it’s expected that you tip the team. We also had to wait around 30-40 minutes to get in on a Saturday night.

    My mother and I visited New York for Christmas and this place was exactly what we were looking for! We had so much fun! The vibes and energy of this place are amazing. This place is something special that you could only find in New York.

  • Review 3 (2024-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    A classic New York experience. The piano player, the bar full of singers, the joyful show tunes. Just join in and smile at the community all loving the moment. I’ve run I to celebrities there a few times and it is just a fun place to belong.

  • Review 4 (2023-10-17 - Rating: 4)

    This is definitely a dive bar but the crowd is friendly, and its worth a visit if you love show tunes with sing-a-long music! This is an experience in itself. There’s a lot of talent inside the walls of Marie’s Crisis…

  • Review 5 (2024-12-18 - Rating: 4)

    Great spot to sing if you know the know the musical! Great service, they are on it with the drinks. People are judgy about taking pictures and talking while singing —Lauren is amazing!

  • Review 6 (2024-10-03 - Rating: 5)

    Musical theater dive bar that has easily become my favorite bar to go to. Service is great, the staff are wonderful and super talented. If communal singing is your jam, this WILL be your favorite bar.

  • Review 7 (2024-08-05 - Rating: 5)

    Cant fault this place for its friendly vibe, incredible pianists, and singing waitstaff. You can feel a tad out of place if you dont know all of the words to every song (everyone else seemed to!!). The queue to get in was lengthy, and its another cash only place, but I went alone and had a nice time for a couple of hours late on a Friday.

  • Review 8 (2024-12-01 - Rating: 5)

    The most joyful and heartwarming place - if you didn’t think standing around a piano signing along to show tunes was your thing, prepare to be proved wrong in the best possible way.

  • Review 9 (2024-01-26 - Rating: 5)

    Great spot for anyone with a deep knowledge of musicals and showtunes. The main bar is most surrounding a piano that does sing a longs. Note that the bar is full of regulars who know every single song, many of which are from lesser known musicals. I went on a Saturday night and knew about half the songs (I consider myself a big musical fan) but then went an off her night in a weeknight and knew zero songs. Overall, very safe space with good people, nice employees, and strong, cheap drinks.

  • Review 10 (2024-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    The vibe at Marie’s Crisis is always chill. The drinks and bartenders are always great. But, the real reason we’re there is to sing along to show tunes with fellow musical theater fans as skilled pianists play these indelible songs for us. The warmth and happiness within the walls of this establishment is always a welcome escape from our world.

  • Review 11 (2024-02-28 - Rating: 5)

    Just putting this out there - Broadway/Show-tunes are not “my thing”. That being said there is something very special about this place.You can tell that everyone here really enjoys the place and is there to have a good time. The bartenders are friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced.

  • Review 12 (2024-05-16 - Rating: 5)

    9 friends and myself had the pleasure to dine at Marie’s last night and we literally tried everything on the menu. Everything was exceptional .. the clams were Devine and the steak was cooked perfectly. The signature drinks were amazing and matched perfectly with the food. Our server Israel was also amazing he was attentive , knowledgeable and polite. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks so much again

  • Review 13 (2024-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    I went there on a friday night, it was really busy, had to watch from the window, it seemed like people were having lots of fun. it’s definitely a place i will explore in my next visit.

  • Review 14 (2024-07-03 - Rating: 5)

    Love it there. Super fun and accepting of all. Be prepared for the cash bar and the two drink minimum. Well worth it but good to know about going in. Always an excellent time.

  • Review 15 (2022-05-04 - Rating: 5)

    If you love musicals you absolutely MUST go to this bar! One of my favourite bars in NYC. Go along and listen to a bunch of happy, talented new yorkers singing along to tunes from every musical imaginable!

  • Review 16 (2024-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    This is a magical place where all are welcome, safe, and sing show tunes. One of the most fun nights I had in NYC.

  • Review 17 (2024-04-24 - Rating: 5)

    For musical theatre lovers and people who like to drink and sing. Tip: go early and avoid the lines and even better is Franca on the piano. She’s so talented and fun.

  • Review 18 (2022-09-17 - Rating: 4)

    Love it. Excellent vibe, great pianist & the loveliest people. Drinks are strong and its cash only so be prepared in both instances ;)

  • Review 19 (2023-08-04 - Rating: 4)

    I had a blast here, even though I dont know too many showtunes. At first, while I was there, the pianist played mostly songs from Chorus Line, which I havent seen. But after maybe half an hour, he transitioned to some Disney songs which was a blast to sing along to.I looked this place up before coming and saw many reviews about rude staff, so it was quite funny to meet the bartender in question. My friend asked for a couple normal drinks but he just snapped, No. It took a much nicer cocktail waiter telling us to think of drinks two ingredients or less to understand. Makes sense for a dive bar, but it isnt hard to explain that without acting like a d***. The waiters were much nicer and gave great service, even while weaving through quite the crowd.I came at about 10 pm on a Saturday and waited for maybe 20 minutes to get in. No cover, but they do want you to have a 2 drink minimum and to tip the pianist, which all makes sense.

  • Review 20 (2024-09-25 - Rating: 5)

    Lively, welcoming atmosphere. Great place for Broadway musicals fanatics

  • Review 21 (2023-09-07 - Rating: 4)

    I really enjoyed going to this place. The only down side is THERE IS NO FOOD!! I didn’t know that, and it was my first time going. So I had to go to a place across the street and eat then come back. If you’re a Broadway lover, choir singer, or just looking for a good time with drinks: this is your place. I really like that they did older Broadway tunes but also new and current things like “Hamilton” and “Six”It allowed there to be something for everyone.

  • Review 22 (2024-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    I didnt have food there but this was a great piano bar. The atmosphere was great everyone was so friendly. The waitress was awesome and the showtunes on the puano were top notch. Great name for a great bar!!! I would most definitely go back again.

  • Review 23 (2023-02-04 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing bar, not to be missed if you love musical theater, singing to tunes and singing along to live piano! The pianists are all so fun and the staff is also friendly and helpful. We had a great time but if you can go on a weekday night as there are long queues on the weekend!

  • Review 24 (2022-03-13 - Rating: 5)

    If youblike the songs from the Broadway you must visit this place! Awesome atmosphere and nice people! Small and cozy old pub.

  • Review 25 (2024-08-16 - Rating: 5)

    A classically camp piano bar that really does stand out. Bring friends and sing show tunes.

  • Review 26 (2024-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    Staff is delightful. Had a great time. Would recommend that u know musicals:)

  • Review 27 (2022-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    One of my favorite places in NYC. It’s cash only and musicals all the time. It’s a lot of fun if you like musicals and don’t mind lots singing. It gets crowded after 8pm generally. I love going during quieter hours but it’s also a boat when more crowded and loud. Staff is super nice and incredibly talented so tip then well! They deserve the love!

  • Review 28 (2023-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    Like they tell you when you go, Youve never been to a bar like this before! A welcoming place for all who live for the musical lifestyle!Cash Only establishment. So come prepared to tip big cause everyones just so amazingly talented! Cant wait to come back!

  • Review 29 (2024-08-09 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely spot

  • Review 30 (2023-05-09 - Rating: 5)

    This is such a fun spot, we always try and come at least once each time we visit. The drinks are cheap and boozy, the music is compulsory to sing along with. Show tunes of all eras and some cracking voices in the crowd. Bring cash as the bar doesn’t take any cards and you’ll also need some $$$ for that tip jar (which you will definitely want to fill)

  • Review 31 (2023-04-26 - Rating: 4)

    Standing, singing, drinking. Repeat! Two drink minimum. Small drinks, great piano bar if you like the musicals. Sing along if you know the words but hey! dont cheat by reading lyrics on your cell phone. Its a kind is a buzz kill, my dear Mr and Ms Millennial, to see you looking down at their phones instead of joining in chorus with the other gypsies, tramps and thieves and assorted tourists who know the words by heart.

  • Review 32 (2022-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    It felt so good to be at Maries again after so long. Singing show tunes with strangers that can really sing will always be better than karaoke! Its got a cash bar and a really nice bartender named Randy. Its a really fun place that still feels like the old west village. And be sure to tip the piano player please!

  • Review 33 (2024-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    If you yodel at Maries Crisis Centre, it is your fault that the bar then reenacts the entire Sound of Music. Enjoy.

  • Review 34 (2023-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    One of my favorite NYC places! All Broadway, amazing piano players, and everyone sings! Not fancy, but the BEST music off Broadway!

  • Review 35 (2023-01-05 - Rating: 5)

    An amazing place musical theatre lovers. Nothing better than singing together in a friendly, inclusive and non judgemental venue. Brandon was superb on the piano keeping everyone in time and in tune! Soon much fun

  • Review 36 (2019-07-04 - Rating: 5)

    An absolute must in NYC. Fun crowd, unpretentious. Hey, and Broadway show tunes. Drinks are a bit overpriced. And you never know who you might run into there.

  • Review 37 (2022-10-23 - Rating: 4)

    - $9 drinks- good music and really good singers- gets incredibly packed as everybody gathers around the piano- got a divey theatre feel to it- venue is small, so line can get quite busy even on a normal weekdayOverall, this place is NYC at its finest. Generous pours, great broadway music, strong NYC vibes, and in basement. What an experience.

  • Review 38 (2024-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    A wonderful place to visit in Manhattan. The environment and the energy are unmatched. Whether is the people that work there or the attendees, everyone knows how special this place is and contributes to its great atmosphere.If you want to have a fun chill night singing to the songs of any Broadway musical you can think of while meeting great people and having a drink, this is the llave to go!

  • Review 39 (2024-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    What a fabulous place to be with friends and family; everyone singing their hearts out and having exceptional fun....Love, hugs & Kisses from New us Zealanders.❤️❤️😎😎👍👍🇳🇿🇳🇿

  • Review 40 (2024-11-27 - Rating: 5)

    I don’t think this place has any food? But the music is great and the drinks are cheap. If you’re a Broadway fan, you must come here!!

  • Review 41 (2023-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing piano bar with nothing but show tunes. Bartender was great. Generous pours and a great time. If you arent an alphabet kid might not be the place for you.

  • Review 42 (2022-07-25 - Rating: 5)

    Fun bar, stiff drinks, great staff. Everyone is super friendly. But if you video record, you will get a nasty talking to. So dont do it and just enjoy everyone singing and the excellent piano player.

  • Review 43 (2022-04-16 - Rating: 5)

    The only sing-along showtunes bar on Grove street! At a historic site in the middle of a historic neighborhood, this place is great for a queer friendly good time! Sing your favorite showtunes as if you were in the shower with no judgment! Limited drinks (a few beers, a white and a red wine, and well drinks) but its all you need to have a great time! The employees are friendly, very funny, and extremely talented!

  • Review 44 (2019-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    Just pure fun! A whole room of people singing show tunes accompanied by a very talented and entertaining pianist. And no cover on a Saturday night with only a one drink minimum. There was a line but it went quickly. Just a super fun time!

  • Review 45 (2019-01-09 - Rating: 5)

    A must do activity if you’re in NYC and love Broadway/theater and singing show tunes until you’re blue in the face. The place is magical. You literally get an amazing pianist to play for hours. The pianists are always talented professionals and are good at reading a crowd (If it’s an older generation expect to hear the American song book repertoire. If it’s a young crowd expect to hear all the current contemporary jingles.) They also have the staff sing solos too as entertainment for guests that come in. My only thing is make sure to tip these people and BRING CASH! It’s a cash bar only. Luckily, there is a chase bank right next store if you need it.I go here all the time. The last time I went I left my phone in the bathroom and was positive it was stolen BUT when I went to the bar the bartender had my phone. Literally, anywhere else in New York my phone would have been taken but the people that go here and work here returned it 😊One con — this is a tourist spot so depending on the time and the year it gets crowded and there could be a long line (with an hr or more wait) to get in since the place can only hold so many people.

  • Review 46 (2024-06-27 - Rating: 5)

    My go to place in NYC for piano and singing. Five Stars all the way, the Greatest!!!

  • Review 47 (2023-11-01 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 48 (2024-06-18 - Rating: 5)

    I love a piano bar and this was such a fun experience, literally impressed with the singer and the crowd, if you are a Broadway fan is a must

  • Review 49 (2021-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been wanting to come here since being introduced to it by Diana in Younger, and it did not disappoint.The atmosphere is fun and relaxed and everyone is just there to have a great time. Its definitely a snug place, so be prepared to stand shoulder-to-shoulder as you sing showtunes and Dolly Parton with strangers. Its a great bonding experience, no matter who youre with.We came on a Friday night around 10pm and it was surprisingly not TOO busy. You wait outside for people to exit (they allow a certain number of people inside). We only waited about 10-15 minutes. They check for proof of vaccination at the door. And they dont allow pictures/video inside (so that everyone can feel more at ease about letting loose their vocal skills) and you must purchase 2 drinks minimum per person.

  • Review 50 (2022-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    While a tiny place, it’s full of wonderful customers singing with amazing voices, all gathered round the piano player. If you love musicals, as I do! It’s a must visit place when in NYC.

  • Review 51 (2018-04-03 - Rating: 5)

    I was taken here as a birthday surprise and boy was I surprised! When you walk down the stairs into a dimly lit bar you dont usually expect to hear everyone inside singing My Fair Lady. It was like finding my home that I never knew I needed. The bar itself was average as far as drinks and prices. The pianist (I wish I remembered names) was so great, talented, amusing and well versed in any musical you can think of. The majority of the patrons were clearly regulars and also clearly in the theatre business, as they sang their parts to each song . It felt like being in each musical. They need to open one in Charleston SC. I would be there every night

  • Review 52 (2022-04-02 - Rating: 4)

    I am not a fan of show tunes. But it’s still an entertaining place to go. The people who are performing know their stuff and put on a great show. They’re a reasonably priced place even though it’s the city. And the ambience is something to behold.

  • Review 53 (2016-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    This place is absolutely amazing. Totally crowded. Noisy as hell. Almost impossible to talk. But still awesome. It seems like broadway musical performers come here after their shows to let loose and sing with friends; the quality is that good. Cash only. Drinks are cheapish. Service is a tad slow but with so much fun happening; who cares! A must-visit place for people who love musicals!

  • Review 54 (2024-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    If you love Broadway shows - this is the place for you.It is one of a kind place, where you can show your love for Broadway songs and no one will judge you. On the contrary - they will join you!It has great atmosphere, great crowd and everyone (EVERYONE) is welcome!The only downside is that it can get very crowded on weekends nights.

    This was one of the best nights out of my life. The energy is wonderful as everyone gathers in the small basement space and sings show tunes, and I felt euphoric from beginning to end. Please treat yourself and go here, and bring some tips for the talented piano players!

  • Review 60 (2021-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    Went to a few piano bars and this was the one where its full of locals singing. If youre unvaccinated, stay away as there is almost zero room to move, no sweats and everyone packed like sardines - but thats what made it so much fun! Quick service but dont try to talk to the servers as they are just too busy (not in a bad way).Will return.

  • Review 61 (2023-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    Its all about the music. Theres live piano and all show tunes. You can sing along and you have to love theatre.

  • Review 63 (2021-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite place in the world! If you love to sing your face off and youre tired of singing showtunes in the shower, this is the place for you. There is no microphone. Just a piano and a crowd who loves to sing. And a bit of alcohol 😋.

  • Review 64 (2021-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    A truly unique experience in NYC for those who love theatre and musicals. Its a no frills bar. There is a drink minimum and a very limited bar selection but the music and people are really what make it special!

  • Review 65 (2018-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    The town of New York seems based on my experience overrated. But finding this wonderful place more or less accidently was a gift. You probably wont find so lovely locals around and they all share one passion: Musicals. There is a German proverb that hit the nail: Stay where the music is because evil people have no songs (it rhymes in German). This place was so lovely, it saved our two last nights in New York. We didnt want to try anything else anymore.

  • Review 66 (2018-03-29 - Rating: 5)

    Having grown up a huge fan of musicals, this place has always been on my NYC bucket list... and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The singing was, of course, awesome, and the atmosphere was so fun and welcoming to visitors!

  • Review 67 (2021-07-03 - Rating: 5)

    Maries Crisis isnt merely a bar; its an EXPERIENCE. Imagine an interactive Broadway show, with copious booze, for a fraction of the price. Really. Great crowd (who can SING!), fantastic service, amazing memories. Go. You have your orders.

  • Review 68 (2024-02-29 - Rating: 4)

    I mean, what can you say? It smells like an ancient bar but the cocktails are cheap and—regardless of the size of the crowd—people are friendly and singing their hearts out.

  • Review 69 (2014-11-05 - Rating: 5)

    ...I thought I was pretty good at musicals but Ive never been surrounded by so many beautiful, Broadway singing men in my life! If youre prone to breaking into song and jazz hands, Maries Crisis Cafe is the place for you, a place where you will not only be surrounded by pitch perfect soloists but also plentiful cheap drinks and long gazes while holding hands. As a straight woman, Im pretty sure Ive found the best bar in NYC.

  • Review 70 (2016-09-04 - Rating: 5)

    On the most basic level this is a grimy basement bar with a piano, but in actual fact it is a mecca for anyone with a love of showtunes. If youve sung Oklahoma in the shower then please go here. I did not have this love and many of the songs were completely unknown to me but if you can get a crowded bar to sing along to obscure songs all night long every night for decades youve got something worth seeing.

  • Review 71 (2021-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place. The atmosphere is very accepting, the sing-a-longs are fun and over the top, and the coat check is great. My only qualm is there are no craft beers, only Stella, and the Buds.

    Marie’s Crisis Cafe is a MUST for gays, groups of girls, or people who love musicals. They don’t take cards and the nearest ATM is in the corner store, so make sure you have cash. It’s a very small piano bar but full of charm. A favorite to bring out of towners to!

  • Review 73 (2019-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    So much fun!! Maries Crisis is the place to sing your heart out. Always amazed at the other people who are in the room - the talent is outstanding and great to be around. But no one judges. Just a fun night out. Get your drinks. Tip well. No cover in the city. Maries Crisis is epic. Gets a little cozy down there --- is the only negative for people who may be claustrophobic :)

    A New York City staple go-to bar for any night: whether youre solo or with a group; dressed up or in cool & casual wear; youll blend right in and instantly feel like a regular. -- Easily one of the best piano bars ever that always has exceptionally skilled & very friendly pianist [and yes, they do take requests tip or no tip...but def tip 🙂]-- Simply put its a great watering hole for locals and tourist alikegardless if youre dressed up and feeling fancy or in jeans and a t-shirt looking cool and casual.

    My father took me there on a weeknight, at first I was bit irritated because of its size, you have to go some steps down and then it began... the singing,...it was like always was singing word accompanied by a piano player. There were some really good singers, prfessional singers come there from their brooadway show to sing with the crowd. My singing style, I can sing anything u can sing just louder.Really a good place to have big fun.

    Wow, it was a little bit of déjà vu being back at Maries Crisis Café. The room was the most packed place Ive been in more than a year. The crowd sang their hearts out, and was heartened to see somebody surreptitiously pull up lyrics on their smartphone, and I followed suit, because its much more fun that way.

    Interesting place, especially if youve never been in a similar place before. Sing along your favourite musical songs with everyone in the bar and do not expect a huge variety of drinks. Bring cash.

  • Review 91 (2021-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    Fun Broadway show tune piano bar! Lots of dividers up to aid with social distancing that allow you to safely sing your heart out. Lots of talent here

  • Review 92 (2024-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    Such a fun, warm, and welcoming place! The perfect place for any musical lover who feels a little lost in the world.

    If you feel like a late-night musical rompus, check out Maries Crisis! Forget the shower and belt broadway classics with the piano man and the rest of the bar.Can be very crowded on weekends! Be prepared to check your coat at the door - it is often enforced as mandatory for entry into this basement-nook.

  • Review 94 (2016-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    To Date, my FAVOURITE bar in the whole world! Showtunes, a piano and friendly staff with a cutting sense of humour. Also the best singers/crowd in any piano bar I have been to on Manhattan

  • Review 96 (2018-12-28 - Rating: 4)

    A historical landmark that has a endearing and widely accessable common ground for spontaneous camaraderie. Im not even in to musical theater, I also dont drink, but I have to admit that it was one of the best bars Ive been in and one Id go to regularly if I lived here.

  • Review 97 (2019-07-11 - Rating: 4)

    A tiny bar in the underground.Came here on a weekday night so it’s not crowded at all. Got a singer and a pianist in the bar and the singing was awesome! Really got some tenants here I would say.The drinks were basic cocktails and I liked the one I got. It’s pretty cheap and you pay after each drink in cash.A nice spot to grab some drinks with friends, especially if you enjoy musicals :)

  • Review 98 (2018-03-07 - Rating: 5)

    Wonderful sing along spot. Very nice crowd. Small intimate setting. Limited seating but this in no way detracts from the overall experience. Go and enjoy.

  • Review 99 (2017-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    An institution. A gay piano bar where you go to sing not talk. Only show tunes. No cover but tipping is expected. All ages welcomeBest place in NY.

  • Review 100 (2023-10-05 - Rating: 5)

    Cash only. Incredible for anyone who likes show tunes and a good time. Have been back several times and will likely be back soon again.

  • Review 101 (2018-02-21 - Rating: 5)

    This place was fun. They had a white wine and a red wine. :) the piano bar with Broadway show tunes was very fun. The clientele was super nice too.

  • Review 102 (2023-02-05 - Rating: 4)

    Your chance to be a broadway star by joining the nightly singalong of show tunes. Skip the mixed drinks and wine and just have a bottle of beer. All cash bar.

  • Review 103 (2021-05-09 - Rating: 4)

    Marie’s Crisis is back! And their windows are open. There are dividers inside, and singalongs are going strong. Still, do us all a favor and attend safely and give room. I’m more apt to come when it’s less crowded and not stay through later hours.

  • Review 104 (2021-06-30 - Rating: 5)

    How heartbreaking to see petty reviews posted by entitled and self-absorbed individuals. To accuse this establishment of discrimination is laughable - and frankly the substance of such complaints is non-existent.Those who have the audacity to claim they faced “discrimination” at Marie’s Crisis are not members of a maligned or minority class. Period. Regular patrons of this bar realize that the sometimes-snippy bartenders operate in an “equal-opportunity” manner. In other words, everyone is subject to occasional poor service at Marie’s.Those who pull the discrimination card over poor customer service are truly cut from the same cloth as the hysterical woman who called 911 on a bird watcher in Central Park. (He was, in her words, a menacing “black man”.)

  • Review 105 (2018-12-04 - Rating: 5)

    I always love going here. The staff is friendly and the patrons always seem to be enjoying themselves. Be sure to check out the weekday happy hour. $3 well cocktails. Cant pass that up.

  • Review 106 (2017-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    Piano bar with fantastic sing along with dozens of other singers, and many with Broadway Type voices. I Am an Observer but enjoy the wholehearted participation of my family

  • Review 107 (2023-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    Really great atmosphere. Friendly people and a fun sing-along piano bar

  • Review 108 (2024-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    Two drink minimum but drinks are cheap. Not a great selection on liquor but youre not here to get a fancy cocktail you are here to sing. Piano players are fantastic and its just a really nice little piece of NY.

  • Review 109 (2015-08-16 - Rating: 4)

    A lot of fun ! Intimate atmosphere where everyone feels part of the show. Everyone joins in - no cover, drinks $6, lot of interaction with the lead. Great !

  • Review 110 (2018-12-10 - Rating: 5)

    This is my favorite place in the world. You walk in and you just feel right at home, if your home is a bunch of gay and gay-loving theater nerds belting musicals, which mine is, of course! Theres really no place like it.

  • Review 111 (2019-01-29 - Rating: 5)

    This place is a lot of fun just people enjoying singing show tunes together be warned it is a small bar with lots of people so you will be crowded but I felt it was worth my time to check out

    This place is an absolute blast for Broadway lovers!! We had so much fun singing with the talented staff and bar patrons. Everyone was there to sing along and have a great night. This will be a must do every time I come to NYC! The beer selection could be better - they have three choices - Bud, Bud light, and Stella.

  • Review 118 (2017-02-07 - Rating: 5)

    Arrive prepared to SING. I wasnt the best singer in the room, but what I lack in skill, I made up for in enthusiasm. Bring cash - the bar is cash-only and the pianists work for tips.

    Broadway piano bar, what could be better? So much fun!

  • Review 131 (2024-05-04 - Rating: 5)

    A celebration of show tunes. A wonderful place where you can be with likeminded individuals who most likely sing Broadway songs in the shower. I wish to have such place back at home. But while that’s not yet the case, I’ll be always visiting this bar every time I get to visit New York.I also have to mention the warmth and joy of the staffs and artists. You guys are amazing and please keep up the amazing work.

  • Review 132 (2019-11-03 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 138 (2024-07-23 - Rating: 4)

    I came here as an option for some live music on a weekend night. The bar is cash-only and dive-y. The music played were all from musicals, which everyone sang along with. It is a place with a very specific audience.

  • Review 155 (2018-06-14 - Rating: 5)

    I’m surprised to read these other reviews about the bartender because he was lovely to me. I sat at the bar alone and he took very good care of me - made conversation, recommended drinks, topped up my drink with ice so I wouldn’t get too unspeakably drunk. He was a perfect gentleman and actually made visiting this place alone a lot less intimidating. As for the band, they blew me away. I had an amazing time here.
