Zinc Bar, New York NY

Great music, BUT ask about the cover charge! Neither the host nor the waitress told us about the cover charge, so when we got the bill an extra 60-70$ was tacked on with both the waitress and host blaming each other. We were also there maybe 40 min tops. Really a shame because it makes you inclined not to come back despite the good music.

The band was excellent but we left with a bad taste. When we arrived a group of 3 people, the host accompanied us and explained to us that there is a minimum of $30 per person. He didn't bother to point out that only the entrance was $30, and that there was another drink minimum, but made it sound like everyone had to order at least $30. When we confronted the manager and the host they denied. Of course, this is a method that should work on tourists, and it's no less than stealing. If we had been told that only the entrance was $30 we would not have bothered to order so many things from the menu. When we asked to see the printed bill the waitress said she could not print it for us. Dishonest people, we left very disappointed with the experience. I don't care about the amount I paid as much as the feeling that I was cheated. Don't go there!

Drink is just so so and very expensive but the live jazz is very nice to hear. If you want to go to back to look at the actual performance, make sure to purchase your tickets in advance.

The Best bar in NewYork, they got the best coffee cocktail in the world! Me and my girlfriend had a very good time here every time we come.

Very nice place even though we couldn't get in to see the jazz show you could hear the songs from the bar, small but cozy.

Super unique bar, with great music, great atmosphere and delicious drinks! Very great change of pace if your looking for a very atmospheric venue, this is it!

I saw Ed Cherry AND Peter Bernstein at this club, two of the most incredible jazz guitarists playing today, together!

Expect excellent programming and a cool, comfortable jazz atmosphere!

I go for the music. You can get a small snack if you wish, but don't expect a meal. They mix drinks well and the music room is comfortable

Got there late, so no live music. Drink prices typical for NY. Bad espresso coffee. Average service.

We saw the Axel Tosca Trio. It was fantastic! So much fun. Great vibe. Cool setting. Classic cocktails. Decent prices. Very cool and comfortable. Arrive early for a good seat.

I love this place. The staff are great and the vibes are perfect. Such a great spot.
HOWEVER, the drinks are nearly undrinkable. Been here 3 times in the past few months and don't think I can come back and torture myself again. The worst I've had in the city. Dive bar quality drinks at cocktail bar prices.
I'm writing this review in hopes that it inspires ownership to take their beverages more seriously. Would love to come back and find that the drinks have turned around.

Terrific, unmistakable, beautiful ambiance, in the back the stage and the seating are magically placed, you feel transported to France in the 30’s the musicians that the select are amazing.
The bar is also simply beautiful, drinks are exceptional.
I almost forgot the Welcoming by the gentlemen at the door is insuperable.
Probably a musician as well.
If you haven’t been you must go.
