Great, cozy, funky little place. Front bar was really comfy. We went with a group of 7 to their cabaret in the back to see a fun show. Bartenders and waitresses were great.

Fun Wednesdays night karaoke with dj jack and bartender peter. Super social and great ambiance. Request any song in the karaoke library or online and sing it while the crown cheers with you. Dont be shy no one will judge you if you are not the best singer :)... All personality there with or without great voices. Sometimes im ok other not lol i still have a great time. Its one of my weekly activities.

1st timer .. Went to support my God son on his 1st appearance performing in NYC.. @mansaeli he did very well as did the other young artists featured at the venue. The back room is where the stage is very very tight in sitting/ standing space so much so that I got showered by someones entire drink order.. Again no worries it happens so I had 2 long Island iced tea.. Yup old skool wasnt in the mood for anything else. Drink was definitely a good look tips hat to the bartender who was there that night not a lot know how to make a decent L.I.T.. otherwise it was a good night. 🐻

The West End is many things! It is a cabaret, it is a bar, it is a restaurant, it is a performance space. They have great shows on Wednesday and Thursday nights (probably others but these are he dates Ive been!). I believe there is also karaoke at 11pm on Wednesdays.

This is my favorite Upper Westside Bar. Amazing food, amazing service, and reasonably priced. Thursdays is $1 dollar tacos, and you cant go wrong. The bartender Jamie is a drink specialist who can concoct you whatever your heart desires! The underground also hosts music, comedy, and performance shows!

Great place . Good price . Super rap show

Theyve started serving coffee and pastries in the morning! They have ½ price refills on coffee & tea, and the atmosphere is chill. The free WiFi and power outlets make it a great alternative to the UWS jammed-packed coffee houses.This is my new morning spot for the foreseeable future.

Will only be in attendance when Vee Henney is hosting/ performing. Drinks are too expensive and they automatically charge gratuity-

Clean restrooms, nice staff. The open mic Mondays are fun and worth the 2 drink minimum- definitely check it out if your in the area...

Went on a Saturday night where there was a DJ playing. Cool dive-y feel and fun people.

Review 45 (2019-03-29 - Rating: 5)
I have been here twice on Wednesdays to experience the karaoke show. Its super fun. Every one such a good singer it almost feels we are on Broadway. And we are. Its located on the corner of 107st and broadway. I had a great time both days i visited and sang super fun song an sang along with the crowd. Excercising my inner super star singer alter ego. Sometime i dont hit the note and its fine. We keep singing and itseven more fun.next time it gets better.I recommend it.

This is a great place to see a spot--and, even better, occasionally they book one of my favorite bands, The Prima Donna Reeds who descend on the stage and blast out their best of such as To Feel You and Red Stilettos! Que magnifique! Whens the next Prima Donna Reed show!?
