Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Derek DCumbernauld, UK30 contributionsExcellent entertainment from staff and patrons alike. Most take to the mic and give a rendition, over all excellent singers throughout the night. The only drawback is the prices. Two Vodka cocktails and Two Gin and Tonics £73. It may turn out to be a very expensive night if your drinking alcohol.Written 31 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bluff City TravelerMemphis, TN17 contributionsWOW!
This place is just tooooo much fun! I haven’t been here in … well… lets say, a LONG time but it was just as much fun as I recall back in the day.
The sing-a-longs were riotously fun with very talented singers/pianists and Mede each guest laugh all night as we enjoyed cold adult beverages and sang right along!
If you want this fun time, by all means beat a path to the Duplex in The Village!Written 7 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Bravo. The master of ceremonies really knew how to draw out the audience; so anyone who wasn't clapping, singing, or laughing along only has themselves to blame. I'd always heard that dueling piano bars were a hoot, and I'm glad I've finally knocked this off my bucket list.Written 13 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Allan SNew York City, NY6,364 contributionsThis place has been here for. a long time and attracts a very diverse crowd interested in music , drink bling and talk. Located in mid block it offers a nice alternative spot for everyone to enjoy some good live music and some drinks.Written 28 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- larhetzLenexa, KS14 contributionsThe atmosphere and the service staff made this dinner special for us. I had the Beet Soup which was a meal in itself, full of lots of healthy vegetables. My main course Chicken Kiev was good. But you do not want to miss the desserts. Both of the pound cakes we had were special. I would recommend you make sure to try both the Medovik and Smetannik desserts - be sure to leave room for both of these. And you must also have a cup of Ruissian Samovar Tea to go along with it. The piano music was an added plus to make for a romatic dinner before attending Funny Girl just across the street.Written 14 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bagel_AnyoneRomford, UK42 contributionsOur best night in NYC. Been coming to New York once a year for the past decade and this place gave us the best night we've had here. The atmosphere is so friendly and inviting, which is created by the server and pianist.
Everyone is welcomed to come up on stage and the quality of singing doesn't matter, we had a variety of people getting up.

Having managed to secure a table, we had a pre-dinner snack while listing to the ETHEL quartet. This is a delightful experience available in the early evening on Fridays and Saturdays. Prices are on the high side, but if you like the music — contemporary classical yesterday (Saturday) — you will emphatically not mind paying. This is an urban oasis!Written 18 February 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JimboMalibu_CAMalibu, CA345 contributionsWe had heard the Monkey Bar had been refurbished. We enjoyed cocktails and a lovely 3 course dinner in 1940s vintage Manhattan. Excellent food, drink, and service. Great murals on the walls capture glimpses of its storied history. Enjoy!Written 30 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tina m6 contributionsWe were looking for another place when we came across this awesome piano bar. It is quaint. We had an amazing time. The wait staff sing and serve. Everyone that sang had amazing voices and they were very personable as well. We went 2 nights of our 3 night stay in NYC. If you go, I hope your experience is just as awesome! :)Written 16 December 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
