Zinc Bar

My first jazz bar in New York! This was an amazing experience: I went on a Sunday around 8pm and it was empty but that meant it felt a lot more intimate. It was a beautiful performance; the musicians incorporated a lot of non-traditional jazz instruments like shakers and bells which I loved. The drinks were also very good! I highly recommend this jazz bar!

Pretty awesome place!!! It's got that really cool underground feel, but without all the old furniture in smelly bathrooms, lolThe bartenders and management art top notch as well!!

I had the great fortune to go to this club on my last trip to New York. I found it to have the kindest door men and staff. Then I was seated in the audience for the show, I noticed that there wasn't an empty seat. This venue is one of the coolest venues I have ever experienced. You are going to love the Ambiance. Enjoy yourself.

Zinc Bar still has the old 1930s speakeasy vibe. Low ceilings, good acoustics and musty dark reddish velvet close booth seating. It's first-come first-served confusion upon entry. Tonight was just okay, and we frequent many jazzy spots. The staff however, clueless and not very attentive upon our astute observation. We will stick with Smoke, Blue Note, Dizzys Lincoln Center and Jazz Forum for now. Guess Zinc survives on reputation at least. Three stars. Thank you

Very surprised to see this low rating. My experience here was nothing but outstanding. Fantastic jazz music, amazing cocktails, timeless and very old school theme, takes you back in the time. My friend and I couldn't make it for the jazz performance on time but when we arrived initially we were seated at the bar and could hear the jazz music playing from performance section area of the place. We ordered black and gold and espresso martini at the bar. Drinks were strong and yum. We were then moved to the inside section. The vibe was still pretty cozy. Overall service was very friendly. I will def visit again for the jazz performance the next time in I'm in NYC.

We lucked out and got a table at the front but the jazz band was on a break. It's an intimate bar that's great for a date (we definitely saw lots of people on a date there). The cocktails weren't the best but were okay. Ordered the Clover Club, Strangers in the Night, and Earl Grey Martini.

The smell of espresso intrigued us to go into Zinc Bar! Best espresso martini in NYC! The one we ordered at the bar was especially good!! Made from an old school espresso machine from the 1920's. We ordered one to the table in the back room and it wasn't as tasty as the one at the bar but was still good!We were sad to find out there's no live music on Saturdays which was the day we went but they do have it Sundays-Fridays. We would love to come back one day to experience the music!

Looking for a relaxing evening, lovely jazz much and decent priced food and apps- stop by and check this jazz club and bar. We stopped in for cocktails but we informed of a jazz show happening behind the big red curtain. Tickets weren't too expensive but it was worth hearing a 3 man trio on the bass, piano and drums. Will return whenever I'm back in NY

Upon walking by we were enticed by the music first and foremost before we were greeted by the gentleman at the door. "Welcome to NY, come on in" he said. I looked at my partner and we stepped in. Upon stepping in I felt like we were being transported back into the 1930-40's era. The entire place had a really great vibe going on even right at the moment we walked in past the bar. The gentleman at the door led us to a couple of spots as options for us visit. He showed us the bar, a small seating area across from that, and then walked us back behind a pair of dark red curtains where there stood a stage and a whole other area of seating. Of course we were WOWed by the ambiance of the back seating area. The plush and vintage looking seating that had vases with fresh flowers in them were just super inviting to come in and spend some time with your company under the dimmed lights. I absolutely loved the vibes in the back room. Although we came on an evening where there was no band or talent booked I bet this spot is a great spot to come chill out while having a classic cocktail with your loved one. Who cares if there is a minimum drink limit - come in and enjoy yourselves. You know you will meet that limit after a round and a half so relax. Take in the vibes and take as many pictures as you can (without the flash, please) so you can always remember how dreamy this spot can be.

Had a good time here listening to some Latin jazz but the event was PRICEYYYY. 30 dollars for jazz music seems abit outrageous to me. On top of that the drinks were decent nothing amazing.
