Why Concert-goers love it

Its proximity to NYC’s major concert halls makes Bazaar Bar a convenient pre-show stop. The atmosphere is energetic but not overwhelming—perfect for getting into the groove before a performance. Fast, attentive service means you won't be late to your set time.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun, upscale pre-show hangout

What People Say

Guests rave about the eye-catching décor and imaginative cocktails. Many highlight the bar’s welcoming vibe and say it’s a great place to mix and mingle. The internationally inspired bites get high marks, especially the sushi and sliders. According to OpenTable reviewers, it’s a “hidden gem” that feels upscale without being pretentious.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors mention that the music can be a bit loud for conversation, especially later in the evening—something to consider if you're heading to a more mellow show. Also, it’s more of a lounge than a full restaurant, so those expecting a full dinner menu may want to eat elsewhere first or plan to share plates.

The Bottom Line

Bazaar Bar is a sleek, stylish lounge that’s perfect for concert-goers looking to kick off their night with great drinks, good vibes, and a prime location near NYC’s music scene.
