A favorite date spot for my husband and I. The atmosphere is elegant, elevated and relaxing all at once. The different musicians have been phenomenal on every visit! It’s a must.

Wow! This was a fun cocktail bar! Got lucky and came in right as Jazz band was setting up! Band was great, perfect for a date night! Try their rum drinks, super tasty! Seating near jazz band was limited, would recommend getting there early! Table service was quick, our server was great! Would recommend for a nice vibey night!

My husband and I came to The Rum House before a Broadway show and had a great experience. The space has a classic Cuban-meets-Old-Hollywood vibe. We sat at the bar and the bartender was knowledgeable and attentive. We arrived during happy hour and started with drinks from that menu. For our second round, I ordered a Painkiller (the Painkiller is my favorite rum cocktail), from the full menu and it ended up being one of the best I’ve ever had! I had to stop myself from ordering more—I didn’t want to be crawling into the theater. Overall, it was the perfect spot to kick off our evening!

We went to the Rum House after a Broadway show to listen to the jazz band and have a cocktail and it didn't disappoint. It's a great old fashioned feeling bar that has a extensive rum selection and rum cocktails as well as other drinks. The Jazz band starts playing at 9:30pm and there is no cover charge, seats fill up quickly, but we managed to get the last table seats available. The bar has a great atmosphere and the band was good and played a number of songs including one vocal, "I've Got You Under My Skin", by Frank Sinatra. We had a wonderful time and will definitely go again. 🍸

Loved this place! We first popped in because I heard about their happy hour which is from 4-6pm and offers very fair priced drinks, especially for being in NYC. They are a cocktail bar so food options are limited to small snacks; however, the marinated olives were quite tasty. We were told every night they have live music beginning at 9:30pm. We went back and heard some wonderful live Jazz and enjoyed more drinks!! I recommend the mojito. The location is perfect if you are seeing any shows on Broadway or are near Hell's Kitchen or Times Square. Renne and Gianni were exceptional. Definitely will visit again when I find myself back in Manhattan.

Such a cool spot. The drinks were excellent. The bar was packed, but we were eventually able to get seats at the bar. I am a sucker for live jazz music and this place did not disappoint. I only wish the space was bigger! Will absolutely come back when we are in the area.

Great place to end your evening in the heart of Manhattan! The bar is bursting with character, has a great atmosphere + the cocktails are expertly made! The staff were really helpful giving us advise on what to order and they had an amazing Jazz Band playing for the duration of our stay Thanks for everything! We are happy to have this on our list of favourites and will openly encourage friends and family to check it out!

I’ve been coming to the Rum House for many years and I love it. I love the atmosphere the drinks and the music. However, in the past there was a construction across the street. Now the scaffolding is gone and there is light coming in that feels like a baseball stadium! It takes away from the cozy, time traveling feeling I used to feel when coming here. I asked the waiter to close the shades and she refused. Honestly it doesn’t feel the same. . Please fix this. Close the shades.

We stopped in for a cocktail before a show. This place has great ambience. Lots of wood, red leather, and low lighting. The service was great. Our server was attentive and prompt. If you like your drinks strong this is a good place for you. I thought the alcohol overshadowed the flavor of the rest of the ingredients but that's a personal preference. Overall, a cool place to hang out.

I went to The Rum House the other night and had very mixed feelings. The live music was absolutely fantastic — trumpet, contrabajo, piano — more 40s/50s style than modern jazz, but the musicians were incredibly talented, friendly, and cheerful. Honestly, they were the highlight of the evening. That said, everything else was disappointing. A bottle of wine was $60 (just checked, you can get the same bottle for $13.99 online) and honestly not very good. The food menu was extremely limited — the most “serious” option was a $10 hot dog, which took half an hour to arrive (though, to be fair, it was decent once it came). The real dealbreaker came at the end: when the bill arrived, there was a 20% service charge automatically added. This wasn’t presented upfront, and it wasn’t a tip — it was just baked into the bill with no choice. I get that the musicians need to be paid, and I’d happily contribute or buy a ticket at the door. But sneaking in a hidden fee after you’ve already ordered feels shady, especially since most of the crowd are tourists. It’s a shame, because the music really was wonderful, but this left such a bad taste that I wouldn’t come back, even if they booked the best musicians in the world.
