The Doyle Brothers play here every single Wednesday night, starting at 9pm. They are an absolutely incredible acoustic duo. This band opened for Paul McCartney in London last summer! Check it out!

Jason Andris

East Side Mix, playing on certain Fridays, is off the charts. Get up, get on your feet, and dance . It's crazy that there is no cover for that group. They are so good!

Booze and books : what better place to score a signature drink and fit in time with friends. A library of classic works of literature is also featured where patrons can sign out a book to take home

Conrad Greiner-Bechert

Live music here is mostly semi-talented open mic performers , at least that’s what I got to witness the couple times I set foot in this place. Not a bad spot to be honest. You just have to get lucky.

Ask for special cocktails and listen to the live music !

Go back to a forbidden time in this upscale watering hole as you sip on original signature cocktails such as The Bootlegger, Flapper’s Delight or The Roaring Twenties.

Official site of #MKbday where the people are friendly & the drinks are strong. Christian's your man for the best cocktails on the Upper West Side.
