Hidden Jem, perfect for a drink after a Broadway show 🪩🍹 This bar has live music in the style of a piano bar where you can send requests and sing along with the musician. I came here with friends after watching a musical and it was the perfect way to finish the night

This place is a wonderful find in the theater district. Piano bar on Friday nights with a live, talented performer (Sam) and a terrific drummer. You are encouraged to sing along. Stop in after a show and enjoy!

Friki Tiki is a true hidden gem! The frozen Paloma is a guilty pleasure of mine. Their food is mostly small plates but you can fill up on them. Great live music and DJs!

This is a midtown must! The piano is popping every night. The crowd is such a great mix and not pretentious at all. The details throughout the space are so fun. Super kind and amazing staff from Maria our server to the GM Miriam (who fills the room with a contagious, comforting, joyful and warm energy)!! It’s impossible to feel unwelcome here. Make a reservation and go… lines have already begun. This spot is about to pop off.

So happy I stumbled upon this place a few weeks ago! It’s right next to the theater district so it’s a fabulous place for pre-show drinks in a fun environment. The happy hour drinks are delicious and the atmosphere makes you feel like you are entering an exclusive tiki lounge. I’ve been back several times and the service is always amazing and makes you feel welcomed. Most recently we went to celebrate my friend who is getting married and the whole staff (including the piano player) made her feel extra special. Huge thanks to the Friki Tiki staff 😊

Very cute new Tiki cave — an island oasis in the chaos Times Square. Drinks were yummy with a lot of tiki classics. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Come for the vibes and stay for the rest!

Drinks and vibe here are immaculate. Such a vibe for after a show or before dinner. Bartenders were fabulous! Prices were fair!!

I love this place so much! Excited for when it opens back up. Decor was pretty perfect, not sure what needed to be fixed or changed 🥹 Come back soon!

I’ve visited this bar dozens of times; I live on the block. Some nights this place is absolutely amazing— the energy in the room is so great when there’s a talented singer on the piano and the room are making requests, singing along. (Samantha Sayeh on Fridays is a particular highlight.) I have to be honest though, whenever I get to the base of the stairs and see they’ve booked a DJ playing loud dance music with a writhing mess of drunken frat kids I turn on my heel and walk back up the stairs. This place shines when it sets itself apart from every other noisy bar in the city, lazily blasting tacky pop songs from speakers.

Close to the buzz of midtown without all the chaos! This was such a fun place for me and my friend to casually catch up. Great food with a great menu, and the music is awesome but not overbearing. I wouldn't say this is where you go to party or dance- more casual.

K
Kaye Eats

The service here is wonderful, all the bartenders are attentive and make pretty good drinks. They even had music on the night I went, live music with requests on the piano, cool tiki island vibe, somewhat hidden and dimmer lit.

Very solid happy hour spot and a very good deal. When I went it was pretty chill and empty although it started to get packed later into the night.

The place is cute, good happy hour, but the food so bad it’s not even worth. The queso was just heated up Velveeta cheese and the pork in the tacos did not taste fresh at all. Stick to the drinks.

Bartenders are cool. They have a piano guy that knows how to vibe with the crowd. Drinks and food were just okay.

The manager and security guard of this place talk rudely. If you have eaten and paid the bill, they do not let you sit. If you cannot order anything else, then you should leave from here. They say this and drive everyone away. And after they not showing his face in front of of cameras. So its my request don’t go this place . Thank you
