49 Grove

Been coming here for years. Music is great. Drinks are amazing. Do a lot of private agents. That's the best.

A must go-to piano bar for anyone who enjoys good drinks and showtunes!

First of all the place it's in a basement and they have not spend any money changing the carpet for years plus the sofas have the fabric broken all over.
I bought a supposedly "birthday package" for $225 and they charge me tips and taxes over $630 which increase my bill almost $200 more just for taxes and tips. This is definitely wrong, tips and taxes are based in the amount you actually pay for the service not in an imaginary amount that they come with.

This place is TERRIBLE! Bought the group on but they charge you for tip (nearly $200) and tax. The tax, I understand that happens with groupons. But pre-added tip of 200, a bit excessive. AND they added a cupcake tower to my bill, which A) I hate cupcakes and B) my friends and I wouldn't or have ever, ordered cupcakes at a lounge. I emailed the owner, Aram, about this several times. He said he would look into this and of course, never got back to me. F--- this place, it's not even that nice and the carpets were sticky to boot.

Highlight of this place are the martini's - made with fresh fruit and super yummy. Interesting co-ed bathroom situation may not be for everyone but I didn't mind it. I was here for a private event so not sure what it's like on any given night but this is convenient to several Christopher St stops on both the subway and Path so I will be going back. Classy, moody lounge type of space with very comfortable couches.

**Update: I returned several weeks later on a Saturday night and was disappointed. They advertise one complimentary top shelf drink with a "check in" on social media so my friends and I participated. They poured the margarita with Cuervo Gold and when I said something the snooty bartender said that was all he had (Patron was on the menu). The place had maybe 15 people in it and they were playing the music (which was actually really good) way too loud for the space and people present.

Verdict - stop in for a martini early in the night and then go somewhere else.
