All Blues

Great evening. Decent music. Great food and dessert. Just okay wine. Awesome music system. Fukouka was great. The gentleman at the entrance- thinks he is being funny but he is not. Just ends up being irritating. Everything was okay except if they had told us at the beginning that the table was for a limited time we would have planned our evening better.

came here on a tik tok recommendation. was actually torn between here and a live jazz bar in Brooklyn but this was closer so I said why not and walked about 20 mins from my holiday party’s HH place to see what this experience was about and BABY!!!! 5 stars. as soon as I walked in the hostess and i started chatting. talking about where we were from, our schools, career, NYC everything! ppl started coming in and I was like omg let me let her do her job but everyone was nice. Didn’t make me feel rushed or anything. she asked if I wanted the theater experience or the bar. the theater being the more intimate of the two and had a no phones policy. I said ooh yes the theater bc I was trying to stay off my phone anyway. I’m so glad I chose it! It was so moody and sexy and the dj was amazing. There were these low seats to eat from. I was in the front row. Had been craving sushi and they had this perfect deconstructed poke bowl with marinated salmon, salmon roe and sticky rice!? bussin. the DJ was doing her big one and the sounds were fantastic. Really heard “can we talk” by Tevin Campbell with a new ear. When I got in they were playing this gospel song that sounded amazing and niche and cultural and amazing. It was truly a beautiful experience with curated sounds. The staff were so kind. I kept dropping my chop sticks (it was dark lol) and they accomodated me each time until we just started laughing together. Wine was delicious. This was a solo date so would recommend for that but I think it ld be great for a girls night out or date night too was only in nyc for 24 hrs and glad I made visiting here a priority. follow @verymuchoutside for more!

This is probably my favorite place in the city. The drinks are fantastic, the food scrumptious but most importantly the vibes are immaculate. The staff is so attentive and really encourages everyone to try and be present with the music in the listening theater. The vintage JBL speakers and world-class turntable setup creates a perfect listening experience and songs you wouldn't normally enjoy sound interesting, full of soul and just incredible. The DJs they book are so passionate about the art of crate digging and just watching their excitement at finding the perfect deep cut to show off the speakers is enough to visit here. I hope this place never gets Tik-Tok'd but I also hope enough people get to experience what it feels like to feel fully present and hear music in a new way. We were so moved by our experience we even left them a little note. Thank you to the staff and if you're thinking of going - just go ♥️

This is a wonderful spot for music lovers.If you want to have an actual conversation, I recommend reserving a spot at the bar/hightop vs the theater. The theater room’s music is pretty loud (I wanted to turn it down just one notch), and conversation is kept to a minimum which I do appreciate. Beautiful designed theater room and bar. Drinks are wonderful. Note that the entrance is unmarked except for a small neon “souls” sign in the upper window.

I was extremely disappointed after my second visit here due to the rude and unwelcoming service (or lack thereof). My friend and I sat at the bar in clear view of the bartenders for approximately 20 minutes with no acknowledgement. Their interaction was limited to silently placing 2 menus in front of us before walking away. Their demeanor felt so unwelcoming and off-putting we decided to leave. When we shared our concerns with the hostess on the way out, she offered to make us a reservation for a future date. Unfortunately, that response completely missed the point and can only be described as tone deaf. After such a poor experience, it should've been obvious we had no interest in being persuaded to return. A kind acknowledgement and reassurance would have sufficed. While I have no interest in spending my hard earned money at a business that doesn't prioritize customer service, I do hope management takes these complaints more seriously moving forward. Their business proposition seems simple: provide a warm, engaging listening atmosphere to music lovers. They've completely missed the mark, and I'm afraid it's by deliberate choice.

I visited here on the last night of a work trip to Manhattan. Really chill spot, minimal talking in the spot & amazing ambience. I did a solo trip, but would definitely be a great date spot. Highly recommending this spot and I'll be back here on my next trip to Manhattan.

This place is such a treat for music lovers! I loved the moodiness of the dimly lit bar and music lounge in the back. I felt like I was in a club in the 1920s and should be smoking at the bar while enjoying blues music. The service was friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and so were the drinks. I could pop a gummy and spend a whole evening here easily

Had an Amazing time, music selection was on point-full of variety. Food very tasty. Tiffany had great recommendations, definitely care of us. I will be returning 😌. Also please consider a lunch hour👀
