Best show ever. These guys should get a $200 cover. Mike Stern & his band gave us more than our $15 worth. Life-changing experience. The legendary guitarist performs a 10 pm set on Mondays. It's the best-kept secret in town. Such a chill vibe from the colorful staff. You can hang with band members after too. Two-drink minimum. Favorite part of visiting NYC.
Awesome place for late evening hang out with great live music. Will visit again.
The 55 Bar is one of New York City's best spots for high level musical talent! Jazz, Blues,R&B,Funk and World Music nightly!!
My favorite cozy jazz bar! Great place to just grab a drink, relax and enjoy amazing music!!
Step above a dive bar but great place to hear live music. Cash only place with no food served, but they do have some signature cocktails. Good venue for hanging with friends. Have been many times to see my friend Stew Cutler (master guitarist) play there and the service has always been terrific. Recommended.
I visited this bar by recommendation of a random person. Went alone while visiting NYC and searching for some good jazz session. I was not disappointed. The band was awesome and the atmosphere was amazing. The concert could have been longer but they had more later on that night. The service could be faster and not that cheap but also not terribly expensive. It was packed but thankfully I got a spot. Will return if I'm ever in the neighborhood.
Found a great place to listen to some live jazz and grab a drink! What a fun evening!!
We heard that was a good place for jazz and we were not disappointed at all. Very charming place, great ambiance, great musicians. We are not jazz connoisseur at all, just tourists, and we were looking for a NYC jazz experience, without having to pay a lot, and to go to a premium club like blue note, etc. Goods beers and alcools, bartender friendly! Great experience!
