    Such a fun bar with live music! We enjoyed the piano set from 7-10pm. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun, people taking in the performance with a dash of audience participation, and it isnt overwhelming so that you cant have a conversation.Cocktails were great. I loved the thank you 15, and the coffee bodega one!Ramen fries were a fun snack too (I think every table had some!).I just wish the piano music went on a little longer past 10pm.

    Behind the inconspicuous blue door hides a small jewel. A nice bar with good service and when we were there, with an incredibly enthusiastic entertainer Jakob at the piano.

    I live across the street and finally went here for a drink to try it out. Love it! Super cute space that gives speakeasy/martini bar vibes. Love the live music. Need to go back to try out the menu. Definitely make a reservation and try it out.

    I stopped by for the Talia event on a Friday night and loved the piano bar, which is hidden behind an unmarked door with velvet ropes—giving it a speakeasy vibe.The decor was beautiful, instantly transporting me to the Great Gatsby era. We were seated in the front row, enjoying the best view of the night.The cocktails were fantastic—my favorites were the Bodega Cat, Thank You 15, and Piano Man. The food was decent as well; we enjoyed the smoked and wild salmon tartare and sesame tuna. However, the Brussels sprouts were overly salty and drenched in sauce.Now, regarding the service: our server was attentive, but it seemed the kitchen was backed up. We waited at least ten minutes after finishing the Brussels sprouts for the tartare to arrive, followed by another ten minutes before receiving the tuna. This interruption was noticeable since we were sitting in the front row.A peculiar incident occurred when we were asked to move to the bar after placing another cocktail order ten minutes after the show ended. I later learned about the 90-minute rule, but this was never communicated to us upon arrival. It left a bad taste since we could have decided differently before ordering.Once at the bar, the bartender seemed more interested in chatting with another guest than attending to our request for the check. After reminding her twice, we finally received our check when I asked the manager for assistance.As a resident of Hells Kitchen, Im rooting for this piano bar. However, they need to address the negative feedback soon before it becomes a larger issue.

    So & So Bar in NYC is a standout venue that combines a vibrant atmosphere with exceptional live music and DJ performances. The ambiance is effortlessly cool, making it an ideal spot for both a casual night out and a special occasion. The food is delightful, complementing the overall experience perfectly.The real highlight, however, is the staff, they are all so kind and helpful. Most importantly special thanks to the mixologists Erica, Noe, and Nichole. They craft some of the most delicious drinks youll find in the city, enhancing the already fantastic vibes of the bar. If you’re in the area, So & So Bar is definitely worth a visit for an unforgettable evening.

    Had such a great time! We were a bit skeptical to go in at first because the entrance was more like a backdoor with a bouncer, but when you step inside youre greeted to a lovely speakeasy piano bar. We went on a Thursday night, so it was more of a cosier vibe with customers requesting songs to the performers. They just opened a few days ago, so not a lot of people know about it just yet. Excited to revisit this NYC treasure in the future!!

    A talented lineup and staff, who keep the drinks flowing. Truly the perfect pairing of high and dive menus in the best way.

    The food was burnt and, though the waiters were kind, they were understaffed for it took a while for we to be able to order, simply because no one was around. But the environmtent, the musician were all wonderful. My advice: don’t eat here; just enjoy the music and go somewhere else for food.

    Great night tonight celebrating NYE at So & Sos. Pity the guy next to us missed the memo on the dress code of cocktail or semi formal. Jeans, hoodie, sneakers and a baseball cap, plus he smells sweaty like he had just gone for a run. Disgusting.We are Australians... is this OK by Americans? Whats the obsession with baseball caps indoor and at night?Shame you dont enforce dress code that your establishment states is a requirement.

    I stumbled upon this place online and thought I’d reserve a seat at the bar. Luckily this night, there was a jazz singer named Ollice singing. And WOW. I hope they are paying her a pretty penny because she had the whole place in a trance. Her beautiful voice in combination with the amazing venue really made for an amazing going out experience. I’ll be coming back to see her for sure.

    Groovy place...great cocktails. Only had the spicy fries and they were very good. Going back definitely.

    My server was amazing, warm and helped make our night so great. The music was fun. The Chalice of Cheetos (which they add some extra to) is hands down what I needed at the moment. The drinks were fun!! Will be bringing people for a fun spot for sinks and some snacks/light meals!

    So & So’s is a magical place with an amazing staff who make everyone feel comfortable, special and enjoy the whole experience! Erica Figueroa is a particularly extraordinary mixologist who serves up tasty spirits and endless smiles, she is a genuine pleasure!!! Those drinks are amazing, delicious and beautiful to look at! This vintage inspired piano bar has tons of super great vibes, ambience, energy, vittles, drinks and a gorgeous grand piano with talented singers rounding out the experience! Do yourself a favor, go, go, go spend some time at this wonderful spot and repeat repeat repeat!!!!

    This place has such a cool and sultry vibe. Felt like a very old school Jazz/Speakeasy Bar. And on top of that, included both dinner and a show, with innovative bites and sips!

    Food is seriously tasty. Loved the pigs in a blanket, tuna tacos, and salmon tartare. Unpretentious service, great music, fantastic drink selection. And good vibes

    Only came for drinks but what an amazing time. Great atmosphere and show, the drinks were excellent, and Lucas was a great server. I can see this becoming a spot I‘ll be convincing people to go to often.
