Zinc Bar

The vibe is thick with history; they say this was one of Billie Holliday's spots and you can definitely feel it in the walls. There is an eclectic music program with a big dose of Samba-Jazz. The more I go the more I feel at home and love

Pros: Its a part of what makes New York special.

Cons: Hard to grab a table.

Love the new space, even though I miss the intimacy from the old one -it's great to see bands now with 6-12 pieces, which they never could have fit in the old space. Been there a few nights now and have been amazed at the quality of music

Pros: Great music friendly staff

Cons: Difficult to find

When I heard that the Zinc Bar had moved, I was concerned that the change in locale might spoil it's great vibe. Unfortunately it was far worse than I could have imagined. Although the space is much larger (including better bathroom

Pros: better bathrooms, very good waitress

Cons: cheezy vibe

Hey did any one know that Zinc Bar is in a new location? They're now on West 3rd Street. The music, the vibe, the space is even better than ever!!!!!

Pros: Great music for just dollars

had a great time at zinc bar. the music was great. probably the best place in nyc to enjoy brazilian song (and a little bit of dance). though the band could have benefitted from a little bit more organisation, talent was there. best of all

I went on a date to this place, so my friend he looked this great bar online and the music should be great since the advertised ethno Jazz. there was a $5 cover charge posted online and a minimum of ONE drink. we go there, and the cover

Pros: decor is good

Cons: Over priced, lied about cover and minum drinks, services pressures you, no music advertised

The jazz band was outstanding. Especially the singer, Michelle Manzo. \r

The place was extremely hot that night. They apparently thought it was cold enough outside to not run the AC. They were wrong. Everybody was complaining of

Pros: Excellent music.

Cons: Small, hot, and smelly.

Came across the Zinc Bar on recent travels and it immediately became the highlght. Went back on three consecutive nights and who cares about the cost of drinks when you can listen to musicians like Craig Lewis. Despite work, the Zinc bar

Pros: Live jazz, the stars, the late nights, the throbbing walls and the talent

Cons: Cramped, is it possible to be even better? Hard to see bands

My friend and I have been there 3 times and we just LOVE IT! The first time we went was on a Friday and it was African Jazz night. We really liked it although we didn't understand the language :) The second time we went was on a

This has been and continues to be one of the best in the business. I recommend it to everyone who likes good music.

A place where the musicians and public geto so close that belongs, this place, to the old space where the fathers of the Jazz, played. It is a must for jazz lovers and I choose this club following the recomendation of Pablo Calogero, one

I went on a Monday night and it was just crowded enough. Talk about underground this place literally is underground. We got seats and have a great view of the gorgeous Mariani singing Bossa Nova. I went to many bars while in New York and

Pros: Inexpensive, small

Cons: small

For people who love good music, this is a great place. Of course it's packed and uncomfortable. That's not the point. Great, great, musicians in an intimate and inexpensive environment. Nice acoustics to boot.

I was looking for a jazz bar, and visited Zinc. I left with a terrible experience to look back on. The back room where we were seated is cozy, but you are no way exposed to the live entertainment. You pay $5 to get in, and they take your

Pros: romantic

Cons: pricey

This is cheap Brazillian enternainment on Saturday nights; the place is too small; can get too crowded too quickly and the back lounge is overly smoked!
I tried a Mojito and a Cosmopolitan just to have the wors deflating experience of my

I found this spot to be very cozy and a bit intimate. The night we went the band that played was very good. Also, the service hostess was always available. The downside is the seating is a bit cramped and not all that comfortable, and the

Pros: Intimate, Very Good Music

Cons: Pricey, Cramped

I've been going here (off and on) for over seven years and love it. Yes, at times you'll get a bartender that thinks to much of him/herself. However, the drinks are usually poured with a heavy hand. You'll pay $8 a drink, but they don't

Pros: Great music, Talented musicians
