Cool spot! Only stopped in for an hour around happy hour on a Friday. Missed the live music unfortunately since I had to run, but had some very tasty pina coladas and chicken street tacos, yummy 😋! Recommend for sure. I’ll be back the next time we are back in NYC.

This is a really cool venue with live 🎶 music. We happened in while waiting for a show at Blue Note and we're blown away by Harlem Gospel Travelers. Definitely a little tight seating like many places in thee Village.

Whenever I'm in NYC, a visit to Groove is a must. Greenwich Village, once a vibrant hub for live music, has seen many of its legendary clubs fade into history. However, Groove remains, proudly upholding the rich musical tradition that has defined this iconic neighborhood for decades.

Artists from all corners of the globe have graced the stages of the tiny clubs that once filled every street. Today, only a few of these legendary venues survive, making Groove a cherished reminder of Village's storied musical past.

Fabulous little music venue in the Village. We very much enjoyed Wayne Tucker & The Bad Motha's. The food was great too. I had Margherita pizza and my wife had salmon and fries. Great deals during happy hour. Friendly service. On another night we also enjoyed the Irish singer Grainne Duffy and her band. And Shayna Blass was great too.
