"You can show up to Club Cumming on any given night and get something different: open mic night, drag show, musical comedy, or celebrity appearances. But don’t let the popular, overcrowded shows discourage you from trying to get in here. While it looks like just another tiny East Village dive bar, it’s actually a place where anything is possible—you could come at 11pm on a Sunday and make some new drag queen friends or end up singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" with a bunch of shirtless men while one accompanies you on the piano." - rob anderson, matt clifton, nikko duren, neha talreja, bryan kim
"Another place to drink and dance yourself to sleep is my favorite spot in NYC: Alan Cumming’s Club Cumming in the East Village. Yes, I’m biased since I host Wednesday nights there but the angelic bartenders pour the drinks strong and the fabulous performers remind you you’re alive." - cat cohen
"You can show up to Club Cumming on any given night and get something different: open mic night, drag show, musical comedy, or celebrity appearances (Adele, Jennifer Lawrence, and Emma Stone have all been there recently). Don’t let the super popular, overcrowded 8pm shows discourage you from trying to get in here. It might just look like a tiny East Village dive, but it’s actually a place where anything is possible - you could come at 11pm on a Sunday and make a bunch of new drag queen friends, or end up signing Bohemian Rhapsody with a bunch of shirtless men while one accompanies you on the piano." - Katherine Lewin
"Co-owned by Alan Cumming, this bar is an offshoot of the original Club Cumming, hosted in his dressing room at the revival of Cabaret, where he established a makeshift bar for the company and its friends after each performance. Now, with a fully realized space in the East Village and a postage stamp-sized stage for performers—everything from open mic nights to drag shows—it’s distinctly theatrical. The bartenders are as quirkily queer as the patrons, and Cumming himself volunteers for shifts." - Mark Ellwood
"Club Cumming, owned by Alan Cumming, resumes live music and parties after resolving issues with the State Liquor Authority." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
