New York HabitatNovember 7, 2011Fun spot for a drink and to catch a live band. Come here during happy hour for some cheap drinks and a good time.
GGJuly 19, 2013Great music! Saw a band called Blue & Gold. Awesome. Food is fantastic also! Everything is delicious.
Rachelle PikeJanuary 18, 2015Dangerous margaritas, great margaritas, tasty treats, and a greeaaaat happy hour.
Victoria NatenzonMay 3, 2014Not a place that I prefer to go out on the weekends, but it always has a long line and everyone seems to love it there. Usually have bands playing, so maybe that's why.
Melissa RosenthalMarch 23, 2015Every Thursday they have awesome shows downstairs! Great place for music.
- L. T.February 1, 2015The food here is unexpectedly great - and inexpensive too! Try the fries and sauces!
The margarita was good. I think if you have more than one, you will definitely fall when you get up if you don't have a high tolerance like me.
Taylor LindsayJanuary 21, 2015Frozen margaritas - strong and cheap! And the fries are great - mix the two dipping sauces.
Luis ArguetaJuly 14, 2012Great environment, awesome music on the second floor! Make sure you come with girls, otherwise you won't get in!
Pretty great bar if you can score some seating. It gets crazy packed on the weekends.
Foursquare InsidersOctober 29, 2015"Used to be a piano store. Half price margaritas until 8pm. Can't beat that." - Roy LaManna, Music Entrepreneur Read more
Mick ManagementOctober 19, 2011Fort Lean will be playing the Greedhead Showcase at CMJ 2011 at 11 PM on 10/22/11. It's their last show of CMJ and it's sure to bring the house down!
Justas A.February 22, 2013Real home-made burger+fries for $7. Could it be beaten by fast food chain? Pianos is swarming with a lot of cool people. Don't skip this place.
Nicole KyleAugust 9, 2014Great bands come through here on the weekends; so many good but different vibes.
Spencer VairoFebruary 22, 2015Great music but can get very crowded on Saturday nights, 10 dollar cover for some shows
Happy hour is the lick. $5 burgers, $6 grilled chicken samiches if you wanna stay lean. AND, $3 wells and brews. Wed, P. Reed spins 90s hip-hop.
Steve RitterJuly 19, 2012Load up on cheap margaritas at happy hour--the showroom cover starts at $10 and typically exceeds reasonable for the lineup.
Diverse and interesting booking. Watch out for the week-long residencies.
Really good happy hour specials. Try the $4 margaritas and the nachos!
Erin LaneAugust 10, 2011Make sure you've had at least a few (read: 5-6) drinks before hitting this place up on a weekend night, then head upstairs for the dance party.
Squeeze RockSeptember 13, 2011Recently changed their menu a bit. The calamari still rocks and so do the burgers. Chicken sandwich no longer my favorite.
Super excited for Taste of Iceland. We, aka @glamglare,🖤💖 gugusar! W/ Oliver ❤️
Tina SpadesMarch 9, 2013Cool spot. If ur not there for a show., u pay fees to go up stairs or down or in the back room. Argh.
exfmFebruary 14, 2012Get there early for amazing happy hour specials and great local bands. $4 frozen margaritas for all!
Though not my favorite place to see a show it's a surprisingly good place to grab a bite
Nick WiesnerJanuary 21, 2012Never took them as a food place, but boy are they good. Stop before 8PM and take advantage of happy hour specials. 5$ burgers 3$ drinks... all set.
Caroline DengJune 4, 2016The most TERRIBLE bar I have ever visited in NYC. The 1st level plays awful music, and the 2nd level costs you $8 and is filled with creepy men. Never been treated so horribly in NYC nightlife before.
The grilled cheese is really good and filling!!! Best grilled cheese I've ever had, you must try it!
Karaoke in the upstairs lounge is unlike anything you've seen before! Monday Nights is honestly the best party in the LES... possibly the whole city!
Weekdays: 2PM - 8PM: $4 Drinks (Frozen Margaritas too!) Weekend: $5
