Review 1 (2024-10-21 - Rating: 5)
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. -

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. -

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… -

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! -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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 -

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 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 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. -

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! -

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 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! -

- $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. -

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! -

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. -

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 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 -

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. -

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! -

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. -

...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. -

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! -

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. -

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. -

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 :) -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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”.) -

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. -

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.

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. -

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. -
