Emily KaneMarch 22, 2015Prepare to get weird and squeeze into the back room. Judgement-free dance zone, get down.Upvoted 1 week ago
Justin BartonOctober 12, 2013If you are a girl in her early to mid 20s you would like this place. If you are a guy who likes those girls and doesn't mind get high off of acetone from girls getting their nails done, go as wellUpvoted 1 week ago
Russell HirschornJanuary 31, 2016Music is great if you get the right DJ, crowd is whack, girls loved the $10 mani with a free beer, dont go before 11pm (thats when the back room opens), gets VERY crowded so prepare for drink spillage
The Corcoran GroupJuly 9, 2011For $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.
Love this friendly place! Good happy hour and cute atmosphere. Usually a pretty great playlist going on too.
Free stand-up comedy several nights a week, best prices on 14th st, never a cover, and DJs almost every night. Great parties on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays! Get mani/martini for $10!!!
CarolineJanuary 21, 2016A cool and different spot that's been around for awhile. Come here with out of town friends looking for cheaper drinks and a fun experience.
Steven EgglestonJuly 14, 2012Excellent array of music, with selections dating back from the 50s to current pop fare. Very unique experience that will satiate the need for a great night out.
ThrillistJune 21, 2014Forget Betty & Veronica. If your one true love was Cheryl Blossom, pay attention: On #BDOYL (6.21.14), look out for the special Redhead cocktail!
Ms HeleneDecember 29, 2013$10 for cocktail and manicure. Pay at the bar and get a coupon with a no. on it. Just wait to be called for your mani, excl.'s $5 gratuity for manicurist who wasn't very good but hey, it's nearly free
Rob CheekJanuary 18, 2015Always a great crowd and great music. More bartenders then mixologists but they do a decent job.
travel42August 3, 2011You can get a manicure and a martini for 10 bucks! After 11 pm, DJs spin dance tracks in the back room. A lot of fun (if you don't mind sharing your personal space--the area is small!).- Damon SununtnasukMay 1, 2017Super nice bartender and honest drinks. $10 martini and manicure is a winner
ThkFce BlkHrtMarch 23, 2010This is a great place. All inclusive. Bar can be a little crowded, but the owner is really cool. Been going here for a few years and really haven't had a bad night there. People dance here..Friendly Read more
Thomas EscherMay 3, 2010A cute place for dancing and chill out as well. Beauty Bar appears in the style of a 70s hair dressing salon. On some days you also can make an appointment to get your nails done. Awesome. Read more- Sofia PapastamelosNovember 18, 2017Fun bar with great dance room in the back. Get their early for a manicure ;)
Amelia AAugust 15, 2013Karaoke on Wednesdays hosted by the man Captain Morgan aka Concept, and stinks by Shane. Best spot for a late night on Wednesday!
Gianna NebbiaOctober 8, 2018Such a fun unique place- you gotta get a mani while you sip on a martini or 3.- Jackson IsaacsonOctober 22, 2016Kitschy little place with an excellent happy hour and $10 drink and manicure specials.
🄵🄴🄻🄸🅇 dnǝʇsɔɥOctober 6, 2018Quirky place with vintage charm, and get your nails done too if you like.
LaDawn Penigar-MitchellNovember 22, 2016Definitely come for the atmosphere; the drinks aren't anything special and the manicurist didn't go a great job!
Rebecca SutterMay 18, 2013Watch your shit! My bag got stolen here, and as nice and helpful as the entire staff was in (unsuccessfully) trying to locate it, it's apparently a very regular occurrence.
raymondweilOctober 4, 2011Indulge at Beautybar- a place done a la Hairspray- lights made from hair-drying consolettes with modern-pop furniture and groovy strips of paint everywhere. Because Independence is a state of mind.
Fatou BahFebruary 1, 2015Great DJ Friday night playing Prince, The Cure and lots of new wave artists.
Andrew LitvakMarch 4, 2015Always a good late-night destination, especially if you want to get your dance on. Younger crowd.
Zaarly NYCOctober 8, 2011Ever wonder what it would be like to go to a beauty parlor and drink? Of course not, but here they offer it with dancing in the back. $4 PBR and $8 mixed drinks.
LorettaFebruary 18, 2013Ask for Kern at the bar for good drinks & even better conversation. Don't forget to leave him a fat tip.
EmilySeptember 25, 2011I could see how a lot of people might really hate this place, but I loved it. The DJ played all the pop music you love to hate. The crowd was as quirky as the venue.
Music you'll know all the words to. Get the cough drops for tomorrow because you won't have a voice.
CANDY @digital_sweetMarch 11, 2012Check out Stacy for your nails! She is a sweetheart :-) CANDY The Amen Evangelista recommends Disco Gold nail polish-- so Pimp.
NYC'S BEST KARAOKE PARTY EVERY WEDS NIGHT 1030PM-4AM IN THE BACK W/CONCEPT & Meeeeeee :D- The Martini & Manicures special is the best deal in town. $10 for a mani and a free (really good) martini. Perfect girl's night out, without being overly precious.
CharlottesJune 27, 2015Fun dive bar with 80s/90s tunes. Stinks of nail polish but in a kinda charming way. I mean, why not?
Sophie VranianJanuary 18, 2011$10 mani/cocktail totally worth it, and I never paint my nails. Also just a really fun, retro bar I think even my boyfriend would dig.
Still has the old East Village vibe...at least on weekdays.- CANDY @digital_sweetMarch 13, 2012Nice music mix on Saturday! Only five guys in entire bar. They must have felt really lucky :)
Rudimus Radimus RamulusFebruary 17, 2014One of the fewest remaining cool bars still standing in NYC.
Dance party in the back room if you're into that. Fun bar!
