Time Out New YorkAugust 2, 2014This West Village institution is the best bar to sing solo in front of strangers. Just scrawl your name and request on a napkin and leave it atop the baby grand for the live pianist. Read more- MichalAugust 12, 2013Extremely friendly and funny staff, great music, great singing. I was there on Sunday night and it was half full. I went alone but a guy talked to me at a bar so it was not boring at all.

The Corcoran GroupJuly 9, 2011A staple in the West Village. Come here for a good drink outside, or sit at the bar and chat with the bartender, or take in a good musical review or comedy show.
Joseph T. McMahon IVMarch 31, 2011My favorite bar/ lounge, period. No pressure etc. Great crowd n environment. If you want to have a fun, chill time with or w/o friends, what are you waiting for?

Michelle WilesNovember 5, 2016Show tunes are great, lively environment. And they serve mini bottles of champagne !- Skyler DobinFebruary 16, 2015Kind of gay. Kind of amazing. Live piano jams and singalongs. Very friendly bar staff/entertainers. Unassuming upstairs bar with unisex bathrooms and a bowl full of condoms.
Colvis WaltersNovember 17, 2015The performers are always great. This is one of my favorite bars in the West Village. The have a small theatre upstairs with lots of great productions.- Time Out New YorkOctober 31, 2011This West Village institution is the best bar to sing solo in front of strangers.

AntonyFebruary 3A much friendlier vibe than Marie's Crisis cafe. I wish I came here first. Nice staff, nice vibe and they take card payment.
Daniel L.January 1, 2013The upstairs bar is a convenient and quieter place to catch up with an old friend over a drink (or 3). Most nights it's like you have the place to yourself!
Come see Andy on the keys on Monday nights. Great bartenders. Catch the afternoon sun with their well placed outdoor seating.
- The Corcoran GroupDecember 18, 2011Sit at the bar downstairs and get sloshed while a comedian heckles you. Or go upstairs for a wonderfully fun cabaret act.

It's not really a gay bar anymore during the peak times. Still can be a great spot. Can someone remind the straight people to sing?
Come for the Sunday Happy Hour. Sam is great behind the bar and Will is amazing at the piano!! Good times!!
Cin LuAugust 16, 2013Def such a fun spot. Best piano bar I've ever been to. The performer was amaaaaze.
Head upstairs on Wednesdays after 9pm for "inbox"! Great music, awesome drink specials, and maybe catch some boy band trivia or love talk n slow jams! FREE- Jackson IsaacsonJune 27, 2015Extremely strong drinks upstairs. A double is more like a triple. And a fun mix of people.
Sit all the way down front or on the way back at the Thomas table. Those are the better seats.
Andy plays piano on Mondays during happy hour, and he's amazing. Also, he's super cute! Go see him!
Amazing piano bar downstairs with live music and a cast of crazies. Best time!
Patrick HayesAugust 25, 2012Fantastic patio. But watch out, the gratuity is already included with your bill.- I love seeing the Resignos and Colleen McHugh, here. But, my favorite show, Hands down, is the Meeting with Justin Sayre.
Douglas KrukoffDecember 31, 2015The bartender on the 1st floor tonight (12/30/15) was so rude and got mad that we asked the price of house drinks/told the bartender upstairs to not serve us. Then the manager has no authority over it
Vist the Cabaret Theatre upstairs! Usually a good bargain, and some great local talent to boot! Shows around the holidays are especially heartwarming & hilarious!- Happiest place in the Village. Great staff and live music!
Piano bar 7 nights a week! Open 365 days of the year 4-4 shows almost every night. Check www.theduplex.com for cabaret schedule. "Like" us on Facebook!
C HollandApril 21, 2014They add a suggested gratuity to all bills and automatically add it to credit card charges. Be careful to not tip twice (unless you want to).
Shannon JohnsonMarch 25, 2013Haven't been in 10 years, but it looks about the same. Was always a great time.
- Come by on Monday nights to hear Andy play piano! If you sing, he might even let you come up and join.
This place rocks! I like it for obvious reasons & highly recommend it! It's a sing a long song kinda place! Read more- Rockband on monday nights is always a wonderous shit-show. Read more
