Just too, too, much fun. Even for a bunch of old ladies as us. We range in age from 46 to 65 and let me tell you...even in the mob of trendy and cool 20 somethings we felt welcomed and not at all out of place. There were smiles everywhere. It was crowded but not obscenely so. The staff are friendly and as efficient as I could expect given the amount of people in there on a Friday night.
Quite possibly the worst whiskey sour I had in my life. The music selection was pretty good though!
My last night in NYC came here. Had a blast love the vibe love the music. The next time I can get my ass over to the east coast I will definitely be coming back here.
BEST BAR EVER!!! Great drinks and such a fun dance floor and decorations. The bartender Brock is also the best person ever, you must go!
Great bar, lively dancing in the back and no cover. The front is not too loud that you cant talk.
Beauty bar is a great bar. You can get your nails done and dance to good music. I’ve been coming here since the early 2000s. You’ll have a good time here.
Reasonable drinks, cool unique vibe and cool dance floor in the back that gets busy on weekends (in a good way). Lots of energy back there, and in general this bar has a great vibe.
Friendly staff and reasonable prices.The drinks will put hair on your chest.Or remove hair from your chest. Or possibly paint from your walls. Either way, they are unapologetically strong.Fun themed dive bar
Best Rock Bar in NYC. The music and scene is still there! Love that you can still be in the E Village with cool people of all walks of life. As it should be. The staff is cool the drinks are still cheap. Also, fun for photos if you want to pretend you’re in an old beauty salon while getting ripped with friends!
Unique concept, very cool decor. Ill be back to get my nails done.
Fantastic bar! With great music !
Cocktail & mani. Just what I needed 🍸💅🏾
I know almost the entire staff and they make me feel at home. The dance parties on the weekends are fun.
Went there on a Friday night with friend to celebrate a birthday. Its a nice little bar with a really fun aesthetic and a rear area for dancing or presumably private events. The drinks were well-priced and the service was fast. The crowd was a bit older, which was a nice change from all the young, student bars in the area. It had an atmosphere of more relaxed fun instead of loud drinking.
Love getting my nails done with a martini here.
Iconic New York City Bar great for beers laughs and cheers. Dont forget the beauty part of it. Not sure if you can still get any of the services yet during Covid.
Nice bar, NYC icon, ya got a DJ, and Stella was a great bartender. Negroni!
Quirky dive vibe and a rockin’ happy hour. Good spot right off the L.
I absolutely loved this place. For being on 14th St their drink prices are great. Not to mention you can get a manicure for $10 that includes a cocktail! The manicurist that day was super friendly and she did a great job! The vibe is chill and laid back. The nostalgic beauty salon theme is awesome. They have comedy specials weekly and burlesque twice a month on Mondays. Will definitely be back!
Cocktails were splendid, the bartenders are nice, the manicures are ok but over all it has the makings for a great time.
Spent my birthday here with a group of friends and danced the night away! I just love it here. The inside is a 50s salon turned bar and besides the fact that you can get your nails done and have a drink from the bar, the atmosphere is exactly what I look for : lively, fun, intimate and trendy.
Its right across the street from the nugget place. The beauty bar was our last fling for the weekend and saved us from having a dreadful night (it was raining and cold out). Drinks were cheap, the bartenders were kind and ambience was perfect. Plus you could get a free manicure when you order a drink. After 8 or so karaoke 🎤 was available and so the night continued with many laughs, lots of singing and awesome people.
Beauty Bar is great. I find myself there often. Very different and quirky crowd. Post punk meets glam rock with pop ins from hipsters and “normal” people. The Owner is a cool guy too. Get your nails done while you booze it up if that’s your kind of thing. Good drink specials, especially PBR cans. Comedy shows that are staged every so often are actually done at a high level and very funny.
Had a great time dancing on a Saturday night in March 2018. I dont even recall being IDed until I purchased my drink. The music made the atmosphere, very retro 70s/80s style. Everyone in the bar was singing along, and we even hung our coats on a coat rack by the washrooms which was a relief. Not sure if there is coat check, but Im glad we were able to get passed it and safely got our items back at the end of the night.
Some people are calling this a dive bar, I wouldnt call it that. I think its a staple neighborhood classic and if you hit it on a good night with a few of your closest friends you are gonna have a great time. My first time was on a Saturday night and they were only playing throwback tunes, my friends got manicures along with their cocktails, and we danced all night after that. I went again for their karaoke night, seems like its a consistent crowd that attends that, got a little weird at times but didnt have a bad time!
Came here on a Saturday night. Was my first visit and could be the last. Fashioned in a beauty salon setting , the dance floor is quite small. The night I was here, it was a retro themed party. The tiny dance floor doesnt allow too much room to move around. The drinks are overpriced for its quality.
Its a fun place, but I will like to they play mix style music, remember is New York.
They have a $20 minimum for cards but the manicure/drink is only $10 so come prepared or you will have to awkwardly pay your girlfriend back later.
Cool spot. Its a little dingy but thats part of the charm. Awesome bartenders and you cant beat a free manicure with a purchase of a cocktail. Its not the best manicure however it did last pretty long for a regular manicure.I love the vintage hair dryers and beauty shop decor, makes for fun picture taking. Drinks are pretty stiff. They do have dancing and events in the back but I didnt stay long enough to check it out. We pretty much came to start the night off and ended up elsewhere. I will come back and to the drink + mani again (btw, I think it was about $10 all together, not bad at all). I will add pictures later :)
Whoever the DJ is on weekends does not take song requests, which is weird but fine, however if you make the mistake of going up to place a request he will absolutely FLIP OUT on you. I have never seen a DJ lose his sh** like that over someone wanting to make a request...which is a very normal thing to do at a bar like this. Really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.Also, the men on the dance floor are more predatory than average.I give the 3 stars because the drinks are priced well, the decor is cool, and location is good.
Friendly atmosphere, the door guys check your IDs right at the door but are always sweet and usually flirty. This is a casual neighborhood bar where you can get a flavor for the whole block. A lot of alphabet city residents drink there. Its the perfect place for a great night to start.
I stepped in here on a Saturday night to escape the rain. Being from out of town I didnt know anyone and grabbed a seat at the bar. The bar tender immediately welcomed me and I knew I had made the right decision stumbling in. The drinks are decently priced, the vibe is low lit, warm and inviting. Everyone who came in was so friendly and I got several offers to hang out with others! If I ever return toNY Im totally coming back here.
Neither the manicure nor the cocktails will be the best youve ever had, but its pretty hard to beat $10 for one of each. Ive only had the manicure twice and both times enjoyed chatting with my manicurist as much as anything else, and ended up satisfied with my nails and my drink. Good place for drinking right after work or very late at night - in between it gets a little too crowded for me, but not unbearable.
My girlfriend and I frequent this bar every so often. We love the feel of the place and the fact that they have old salon equipment and manicurists on the clock makes it distinguishable from other bars. The crowd is eclectic and the drinks are made properly.
Great place for happy hour! Decently priced drinks that are delicious; ordered the lychee martini which was amazing. Its a pretty small space and a popular happy hour location so it can get pretty crowded. Dont forget to check in on yelp for 50% off an appetizer!
What a cool littler bar. Came here late at night and people were still getting their nails done which was pretty neat. They have old movies playing in the background of 80s/disco music and overall was really good vibes. Definitely would go back
Ive been to this place a few times. The drinks arent that great (pretty weak) And the back room gets way too hot. The only good thing about this place is the music and that people go there just to dance.I brought a large group of friends from out of town to this place and the bouncer wouldnt let me in because he thought my ID was fake. Im 23 years old and told him he could scan my OD and when I asked him for a manager he told me the scanner was charging and that he wouldnt call a manager and to get out. Ill never be back and wont be recommending it to others anymore.
I love Beauty Bars DJs, their bartenders, the atmosphere. Its just a good, fun, unpretentious place to get a drink, and theyre always spinning interesting music that you dont often hear in Manhattan bars. Anyone that gives this place fewer than four stars doesnt get it. I agree though, the place gets hot. Dress accordingly.
It was super crowded after work — even on a Tuesday. A decent happy hour. If youve got the nerve, take them up on the drink-n-manicure offer. Fun late-night dancing in the back.A bar thats definitely not good for a private conversation, but its great for socializing.
Its been a while, but this is a bar that with every visit no matter how many years the last visit was, makes me feel like this has got to be one of my favorite bars ever. Good music, good drinks, great bartenders, fun atmosphere, cool decorations, and plenty of eye candy.Ive been a fan since the mid-90s when I moved into the city and went there one snowy winter night with a couple people and saw Paulina Porizkova, (my longtime favorite supermodel) there just chillin out. Yeah, that set the tone for me. And through the years the place has changed, but one thing for sure, it is almost always a fun time. Even though I dont live in the area anymore, every time I go back to the city, I have to visit and it never disappoints.
This was a really cool bar. You could just drink and hang out or you could also get your nails done...i think. The lighting was really low and I cant imagine theres any level of sanitation in there (except the alcohol) so I chose to just drink at happy hour. The prices were pretty cheap too. Definitely would go again.
So I came here because i thought they still have the manicure and drink like they did before COVID but they don’t for obvious reasons, they have a great atmosphere for drinks and I will be going back soon, I do recommend it.
Apart from all said below... currently I am really disappointed by this bar and the management, new bartender is trashy looking really bad service and no manners at all no customer service, really racist behavior and managers and security staff do nothing but talk bad about the customers who pay the money that runs the place.(Love this place, 90s music, crowd ranges from 21 to 40 and sometimes even 50yo. So you can say its pretty friendly, and also LGBTQ friendly asf. Bouncers are mad cool.
Went on a Friday and it was pretty packed. The drinks were good and the manicurists were nice, but of course it didnt last too long. It was just hard to move around in there bc its pretty small. Then theres people constantly asking you to go to the comedy show downstairs.
I dont know what ones preconceptions might be, but Beauty is an outstanding dive. With the added benefit of stylists that can do hair, manicures, and pedicures should the mood strike you. Late night it doubles as a dance club in the back, great DJs spinning an eclectic mix of punk and other, bound to get one moving.
Recently met up w others at this place I never heard of. We ended up here cuz original plans fell through --we had the best time ever. The 80s 90s mixes were on point, the bartenders were great, crowd was mixed and above all else the doorman is quite the character. Great times! Id go again
From the beginning this place astonished me. the vibe is great, they offered a promotion of cocktail (very tasty) plus manicure for only $10! the dj in the back room was spinning amazing 80s-90s mixes and we were dancing all night
This place is a trip! The inside looks like a womens beauty salon, as implied by its name, but the back is where its at. This place was happening every time ive gone. They play 80s and 90s music which was amazing. Place gets very packed on a busy weekend night. If youre into old school music, Id highly recommend it.
No, I did not had a manicure there. I joined a friend here for drinks.Beer is cheap, and she had a good time pampering herself with $10 manicure and glass of a champagne.Retro style interior makes it cooler.
I just dont like anything about this place. I dont find it charming, the drinks are far too expensive for what youre given, and, I feel like this is a given, its never a kind of good manicure. That is honestly my favorite part. Bubbly nail polish.
A friend and I were visiting NY this past weekend and came across the Beauty bar and were really excited to do the $10 martinis and manicures. We took the subway across town and arrived as soon as they opened at 5PM. We were told by the bartender that the manicures&martinis didnt start until 6- no biggie- went for a foot rub and a tea to kill time. We returned at 6:06 exactly and asked the same bartender lady who saw us the hour prior about where to sign up, to which she only replied Were sold out of tickets. A party of girls came in so youre too late. No apologies, no concern really. I understand that for the low price of $10, you dont really owe anyone much etiquette or courtesy but I think it caught us both off guard a lot. To think we came across town for this service and already had a lousy experience without receiving the intended service, is quite sad. It wouldve been nice for the bartender to have said sorry or perhaps minimized her careless tone of voice.
The bouncer turned us down because he thought our IDs were fake. Ridiculous that I’m 24 years old (as was my friend) and have never had a problem in any other state with a Michigan license. Both of us have a Michigan enhanced license... it authorizes entry into Canada and Mexico but apparently not this bar. Do better. You just lost business
The manicurist was excellent. The drinks were ok. The bartender was pushy and automatically expected a tip (I planned to tip). Before I could even look in my wallet for correct change he complained about not being tipped.
East Village hot-spot. Best punk rock bar in NYC. You can even get a manicure! Very reasonable drinks for NYC, awesome DJs. Friendly bartenders with style. As a bonus its an awesome place for NYE! Im back for the 4th year in row all the way from Seattle. A great crowd of eclectic people, from film producers to chefs and actors. Come have a blast.
You need to be in the right frame of mind to go here. That free being buckwild girl power madness. Guys this is a great place to meet single ladies. Ladies, this is a great place to cut loose, also where else can you get a cocktail and a manicure? Gets crowded. Young crowd. If you fit all these factors you will have a good time.
Place kind of went downhill. Drinks were weak snd the back area closed. Not what it used to be !!!!
[UPDATE 10/27/18] Had a great night here until the back bartender stopped serving us (Myself, my girlfriend, my roommate; 3 people having respectful clean fun).Went there at like 9:00pm, was there until well after 1:00am. I notice the bartender isn’t serving me end of night cause like 2.5 songs have gone by and I’m being ignored so I wave my card in front of her a little as my anxiety is growing, and she goes “you don’t tip and we live off of our tips. You told your friend [girlfriend] not to tip. So yeah,” and she proceeds not to serve us.Context: Girlfriend and I got 2 rounds at the front bar. I tipped then ran out of cash ($20 card minimum). We go to the back room, Girlfriend pays for a round with cash and she doesn’t have singles so I tell her “don’t worry about it, we’ll be back soon I’ll get it covered next time.” I go up for round 4 after roommate arrives and we do shots, I pay with card and tip. I go back 40 minutes later for EXACT SAME ORDER, and then she tells me this. And then we leave...Like always treat your bartender right of course, but Jesus not serving paying customers? Keep in mind I’m taking up a spot at the bar the entire time she’s ignoring me, other people need to get through to place their orders as well. And even if this was a particularly big deal, she could’ve said “I remember you from a little while ago with your lady, and it’s really important to leave us tips here.” To which I would’ve said “I’m so sorry, I thought I made up for it last time with my order along with my subsequent orders, how much extra should I leave to make up for it?” And then I would’ve written down whatever number was deemed appropriate. Or she could’ve just served us and taken my money without wasting time. Still a fun place.________The bar itself is nothing special, they have their little schtick [manicure and martini] with the cute old school salon-presentation/history. Kinda pricey. But they got the back area which opens up at like 11pm for some fun dancing to retro hits. I kept trying to head out but the songs and energy kept me around for quite a while!UPDATE: Weird stuff with the pricing...overall not awful for a manhattan bar (like $4 cheap beers, $8 well drinks...something like that), but they either jack up the prices after 11 once the dance floor opens, or the bar at the dance floor is more expensive than the main bar, or the bartenders just charge whatever the hell they want! Something weird. $4 drinks turn into $5 drinks. Me calculating what earlier was $20 (to meet the high card minimum) suddenly is closer to $24-25...very strange. But youre having so much damn FUN there you dont really care.Random stuff: Dance area has seats lining the walls if you need a sit or wanna put your coat down. Theres also a coat rack that people seem to respect along the wall on the dance floor, and also along the window when you first enter the bar.
Unique Union Squares Beauty Bar offers the perfect crowd. Though a great place to go dancing on a date night, the bars backroom plays hits from the 70s and 80s that will have us on feet.****
This place is a scene. Got fast service at the bar even when the joint was packed. Youre not gonna get expert mixology here, but its a definite party atmosphere if youre into that sort of thing, and the people watching is A+.
Best gem in the east village. Bartender with the 1920s hat is my personal favorite. They might use the same playlist over and over again but its a smash so who cares? Cheap drinks (for nyc), great dance floor, and honestly its such a dive that you could see anything. Ive seen people in homestuck cosplay grind to dont go breaking my heart. I almost always close this place out when Im in the east village and never regret it. That said, bring a friend and drink responsibly when youre out in NYC. Enjoy !
Last night my girlfriends and I tried to enter the Beauty Bar. We showed our ID’s and although we are all middle aged women we thought it was kind of cute. We are all 1966 babies. The bouncer who was sweet had to call over another manager sort of guy who was tall and friendly looking. One of my friends who didn’t have her Driver’s License, but had a NYC ID was told by the manager that they usually would not allow a person with that sort of ID into the club since the club could get into trouble, blah, blah, blah... Mind you we are all 51 years old, from NY and wanted to dance somewhere since it is so rare that all of us get together spread out around the country. My friend who’s ID was in question says fine, you don’t need to let me in if it’s trouble. Whereupon this guy says, “Well, I was going to say if you are nice I’ll let you in, but if you have an attitude..” We were basically told to shut up and smile. Heel doggie. Sit still, look pretty. We said no thanks and walked on by. How does this s*** still go on. Did I mention we are all 51 years old??!!!!
LADIES, DO NOT GO HERE!! There is at least one predatory, aggressive bartender that management REFUSES to fire! Its all over Yelp, but, unfortunately, we checked that too little too late.While my friends and I were there, a bartender stormed the dance floor and physically assaulted my friend over a cider she was holding that he didnt realize they sold, accused her of sneaking it in. It was terrifying, and then he tried to bring her a shot, as if shes going to drink that from a guy who left BRUISES on her wrist!! Come to find out, scrolling the Yelp reviews, that similar things have happened to MULTIPLE WOMEN! And management has been warned countless times without doing anything!! None of us will ever go back, and I dont suggest you do either.
If you have never been you should. Its a fun experience especially at night. Its a fun party. A staple of NY night life. Ladies can get their nails done and have a cocktail. Fun fun fun
Worth a 5 minute subway ride.As a bar there really isnt anything that sets this place apart other than the hair salon decor. What does set it apart is that it offers free manicures with your drink. The promotion they run is Martinis & Manicures but you can get the mani with any drink you order. The mani is pretty decent. Its worth taking them up on the offer if youre in the area and want to throw one back while getting your nails did. Take the mani out though and you might as well skip the place.
The bouncer is power happy. I put my knees on a chair so I can look for a friend. The bouncer saw me and got so close to my face I could smell his breath. He wouldn’t stop yelling at me once I got off the chair and apologized. I wasn’t drunk or rude. He physically pushed me out of the bar. I have never been treated like that before. So sad that he is so angry.
Great ideas, here but could be executed a little better. No coat check so plan accordingly if you want to dance. Drinks arent too expensive and you can grab dollar pizza across the street when youre done for the night.
I got a Cosmopolitan, heavy on the vodka, and a manicure for $10. She did a superb job. She helped me pick the color because Im color blind. This is a Flawless bar!
There is always a good reason to visit Beauty Bar. Superb music, and cocktails plus atmosphere in a welcoming fashion!
Good Martini and got my first manicure. Prices very reasonable. Downtown vibe not in down town, its down town but not... Comprende..
Mainly a bar, dont expect to come here to get a top-notch manicure! But for $10 a manicure + drink, insanely cheap and a great night in a great space, that used to be a real beauty salon for 40 years.
Music is totally rad. Ladies get your banana clips and mood lipstick ready. gents, find that pastel blazer white t shirts and a gold chain. This place is a time warp. Feels like black mirrors san juiper and stranger things were filmed in the back.
Lovely place !, cozy and good music!
Beauty Bar is my home away from home. Every time I go there, I feel so welcome! Almost everyone there is family to me. The DJs always keep it live! Its the only place to be!
This place has a wide choice of liquors! On the top of that there was a comedy show going on behind bar, when we entered. The show was not bad for enjoying drinks. Overall this place had a nice vibe!
BB is a chain now (who knew) and although somewhat feminine, it is a cool spot for Friday night dancing. Get your nails done with the purchase of certain drinks (or just get your hand massaged if youre a gent) I would recommend for a group to come here to pregame or end a night, and the DJs spin 80s rock!!
Manicures throughout the night on weekend with a drink purchase. The weekdays the manicurists are out by midnight, may be even eleven. Cute yet dicey. Small but great for pics.
Lovely bar. Happy Hours til 9pm. $5 Well Drinks, $3 Beers. $10 Drink/Mani Combo! Comedy nights start at 8:30pm!
Bar + manicures. What a fabulous idea! Drinks were slightly generic and I didnt partake in the manicure action. Perhaps next time. Add pedicures to the line-up and then we can definitely talk.
Take your daughter or dogs best friend. Beauty Bar is the meat sauce to my pasta. When I unintentionally happened upon this place, I lied and said that I go there all the time. If I could, I would. Because its excellent.
Charters, nails done, dancing, DJ take your pick. Oh and great big drink that dont break the bank.
Now considered an old mainstay of the East Village even as the 7-11, IHOP, and Subway shop growl at its front door. The gimmick here are some vintage beauty shop hair dryer seating, and manicures during happy hour. DJ booth in the front for weeknights when the back room isnt open. The back room is tiny, and packed on weekends with sweaty dancers and a minibar. The best night of the week is Saturday, when Michael T and Twig the Wonderkid spin 80s hits and rock and roll, usually with movies projected on the wall as a counterpoint. This is a good place to end up your night with some dance therapy, since its conveniently located now next to an IHOP where you can soak up your alcohol consumption with pancakes.
Cool spot, nice oldie dance music, cheap drinks~
Awesome place! My favorite bar for happy hour in the city. Friendly and fun atmosphere! Old fashion is my go to!
Had a great night with friends and family, but the best thing about Beauty Bar is Justin Crabill! He is the reason why I go every time I am in NYC.
Really awesome vibes on the dance floor. Love the pink glittered walls. Friendly bars. Decent prosecco on tap for $8.
They open up the dance room on the back, that was cool thing on the end while being there. There is a smell of nail polish remover when you enter.
One of my favorite bars as of late!! Such an inviting staff, with great drink prices and even better music!
Great time at beauty bar as always. Good drinks, good price and a great atmosphere
Seemed like a nice atmosphere but the bartender was very rude and made us feel uncomfortable, after that we found the drinks were very weak and mostly ice, but were quite expensive. - we left in a hurry.
Great music! In the back theres a dance floor and they were playing Motown and 80s throwbacks. There can sometimes be a short line to get in, but its worth it!
Awesome dive bar. Friendly bartender, friendly patrons. Only advice? Beware searching for purse hooks underneath the counter....where I discovered years worth of old gum!
Great atmosphere!! The bartenders are FANTASTIC!!! PLUS you can get a manicure while you get drunk! Whats not to love!!! Yo come here!!
They got one of the best and the most friendly bartender.
All time favorite place in NYC for random dancing nights with 70s/80s/90s music. Cheap drinks and no dress code, win win.
Its the cozy and intimate atmosphere Ive been in search for over 10yrs. Ive been on the longest quest here in Manhattan and finally it surfaced. I am rejoicing forever more.
Would definitely recommend the manicure+martini offer, especially for large groups! Lots of fun for our bachelorette party!
Such a fun bar! I highly recommend it. They have a deal where you gan get a manicure and a drink for $10!
I couldn’t get in because they thought my friend drank too much. They disbanded everyone. Epistemologically, I don’t think that’s the right choice for a bar in East Village.
For $10 you can get a delicious martini and a manicure at this landmark beauty salon turned bar & lounge. We’re fond of the Wave No Wave night on Tuesdays.
Has a $20 minimum. So I said just give me the rest in Red Bull and I was told I they wouldn’t do it cause it’s against the law. I told them there is no alcohol in a Red Bull can. I was told it’s against the law to leave with it. BS.
I love Beauty Bar. Ive been coming here for years - it never disappoints. And Jodi is the best bartender in the city, IMO.
Never go to this place, the staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. Before I even entered the bar the bouncer told me that I could not come in because I looked like I had too many drinks, when I really was just searching through my wallet to find my ID but to him that meant I was tipsy!!!!
Gets packed on wekend nights, as expected of nyc bar. Wholesome crowd so you wont even mind. Bartenders are very friendly.
Good early, unbearable late.
I loved the idea of a manicure salon with drinks. That’s a historical place!
Little hole in the wall but a NYC icon. Friday and Saturday are the best nights it gets packed. Retro music from 60s to 90s
The place was gross and grimey. If you see how they wash they glasses - soak one with soap and soak two for rinse! Two stars for good music!
SF or NYC beauty bar is always a blast
Dont get this in Hampshire!!The missus got a happy hour glass of fizz and her nails done for $10. Whats not to like?
Went there because of my friends but still dont really see the beauty of the bar. Its unique concept though but feels old and rusty.
Fun Music, the DJ spins some flashback tunes in the back room and keeps up a dance vibe. They also do a manicure & comso happy hour.
A martini and a manicure for $10? I cant think of a better happy hour option to start a night out in the EV
Good prices, usually fun music, and one of the rare places you can dance in the East Village. Sometimes gets weird, which is nice.
I used the bathroom and took a shot while I was there, but the staff was really nice and the bathrooms were clean even though the place was packed.
Cool concept, get your nails done and what not while you drink. Also, they have a dance floor.
Chill dive bar in a busy neighborhood. On Saturday nights there is a 70s/80s dance party in the back thats lots of fun
Best place to dance Ive ever been in the united states. The smith, prince, dancing with myself... this vibe.
This used to be the best place to get your groove on. Now the DJ is nothing more than a tease. Teases to play song and never plays it. Disappointing.
Cool little bar with beauty salon concept, great place to take a date manicures available with a 10 dollar cocktail purchase
The best hole in the wall bar in nyc. The legendary beauty bar. Best on fri sat nights for retro music!!!
If your a fan of 80s music and young... very young crowd with unusual vibe and long lasting fame it is definitely the place to go to.
The best bar in nyc by far! Great ppl, amazing djs, only great music! You must visit it!
Great music and drinks, but it gets so hot on the dance floor and is no air circulation.
Interesting little bar. In the back they had a dance floor and in the front a bar. Good mix of people well into the night.
I like the nails+drink deal but the bar is not that special.. The dancing room is quite small
Prices are amazing! The folks are amazing! The Redhead cocktail is especially good.
Super cute. Get a manicure while sippm on a drink. Music is cool..
Dance floor in the back always a good time!
This place was so packed my friends and I could not get out when we tried to leave last Saturday.It was a downright fire hazard, but the bouncer kept letting people in.
Cool spot, cheap decent drinks. Great vibe, whether youre looking for Mr/Mrs right or mr/mrs right Now lol
Very busy...But Ally was awesome and did a great job on our nails....$10 for nails drink!!
One of the best comedy clubs you will ever feel comfortable saying anything you want in, Lol, loving the freedom of that
Best dive in the area. Also where bands looking for drinks after playing Irving Plaza often end up, if youre looking to party with the band.
Awesome vibe, great crowd, incredible drinks, cheap and potent for top shelf stuff
Friendly staff, good prices, and nail service is good wish they had dryers but they put a quick coat on.
Nice place friendly staff, cheap booze. Has to be done at least once if you come to ny
Great staff, awesome music, cheap drinks. What more do you want?
I loved this place they have standup in the back
Amazing happy hour, great bartenders, good company
Coctail and a manicure for a great deal! I love the glitter paint walls and kitschy decor.
Great drinks for an even better price. The service was top notch
Cheap drinks and get your nails done? Sign all your boys up for a good night out.
Great decor, good drinks, shows and/or dancing in the back!
Super chill spot to grab drinks and even get a manicure!
Nice concept bar where you can have a drink and a manicure for $10
Spinning vinyl.... old school punks and teddy boys and beehive hairdos and get your nails did whilst drinking a PBR tall boy..... need I say more?
The back dance floor is always fun especially if you dig old-school 60s music
Cool place! You will have fun with your old songs!!! So amazing!
This place is a great place for late-night drinks and doing some unusual characters I highly recommend it.
$10 for a manicure and a drink! You cant go wrong!!
The inside is so cute
Nice Atmosphere an friendly Service. But I had to wait long time for the manicure and it was really very bad.
Coolest bar. Gets crowded on dancefloor on sat nights
Wish I could give this place zero stars. The bouncer was absolutely horrible to me. It’s so sad that he’s so miserable working there.
Such a fun vibe for guys and girls alike. Best music taste around 👌🏽
Vintage, fun, $10.00 manicure/drink special.
I love coming here for the $10 drink and manicure special.
Cook theme bar in the village...great spot for night time fun!
Pretty cool spot, nothing special if youre not getting your nails done
One my favorite bars. Love Grin and Barrett shows!!
Very cool rock and roll place to hang out late nites.
Interesting place. Very small but they still have a dace floor and many seats.
This was my go to for 80s music but tonight it was far from it. I just dont get why I would go to an 80s bar to listen to techno and dub step.
Always the most comftable familiar place to have fun , all good vibes
Friendly staff, weird karaoke thing in the back some nights, always a good late night hangout
Nothing more beautiful than girls doing their thangy while I get a drink and boogie
Loved this place since the early 2000s
Beer was cheap but bartender has such an attitude. Will give it a miss from now on.
I’ve had 2 amazing nights here. Can’t wait for the third.
Cant beat those prices. Eclectic crowd reminds me of a les bar
This place is so unique. I recommend if your looking for something wierd and fun!
Cheap but high quality basic manicures in the evenings.
They dont serve tap water. You have to buy bottles of water.
Friendly staff and bartender actually knows how to tend bar. Had a great time!
Cheap, tasty cocktail and a manicure- what else can you ask for?
The beauty of this bar is that it never changes.
Such a cool concept, fun and energetic atmosphere, great people watching
Great, live vibe. Great 70s disco music.
Brock is the man. Sunday night has comedy!
Great music and dance space. A great choice for a night out.
Kick ass jams happening when the owner gets behind the DJ booth
I liked it. Pretty unique little place. Out of the way and unexpected. Cool vibe
The music u luv, tthrowbacks u can dance to and a crowd that moves.
Very unique concept and they play great music.

Always loved this place, good music fun scene.
Fun place. Kitschy dive bar with a local feel.

2022-06-29Fantastic bar that has been a part of the neighborhood for decades. Do you want to hear 80s music with reasonably priced drinks, not too cheap, not too expensive, this is where you want to party!! Spread the news! There’s a wonderful house music party that happens the last Thursday of every month.It’s fine Dj JMP Williams , that’s the bomb!!We have Michael Tee and friends on the weekends.! And a group of veteran bartenders is that rock!! Please share with your friends!!!!

2022-03-10Hand down one my favorites bars in the city. The music here is always good and drinks are decently priced. It feels like a dive bar but still very classy and got a character to it.

2019-05-06Love this little dance bar in NYC.Its an former beauty salon and you can see it in the deco and before 10pm you still can get a decent manicure for 10$ (one drink included).The dance floor in the back room is on the smaller side and at busy times it feels overcrowded. But the music was always dancable and groovy ;-)Drinks are strong and reasonable priced, staff very friendly.

2022-02-06They didn’t have manicures when we went and the bearded bartender was being a real jerk to customers. I saw him yell at more than one kid. Terrible service and average drinks. Not worth it

2019-02-13Beauty Bar has an awesome vibe about it. It can swing from being wildly crowded to being really laid back and low key. Either way, cheap beers and whiskey in a dimly lit ostensible beauty salon? You can even get a manicure on certain nights. Hey you do you.

2020-07-26Delicious drinks and now delicious hot dogs are on Deck. Stop by and grab a frozen margarita or whatever your thirst desires. Best bartender is always at the Booth

2017-03-15Love the decor and that it used to be an actual beauty bar. Great drink prices and you cant beat $10 for a manicure and a cocktail. Free comedy most nights. The only drawback is that because its on 14th, it can attract some yuppies.

2021-03-27Greatest bar in NYC! Punk rock vibes splattered with glitter, glam and hair dryer chairs.
