must have place for your big events !!! held a birthday party here & the crew was incredibly welcoming & friendly :) my guests had a great time and the room we reserved had its own private access to the bar! the fact that reserving the space is free with no bar minimum is UNHEARD of in nyc!!! I communicated with Rory (who is super friendly and helpful!) on party logistics and he helped print out some custom menus I made. Such a cute and fun touch! The Juke Bar service is incredible! Def book your next event here!

Great service! Lovely bartender, very chill and friendly. I don’t remember what I got but they were very yummy! I also tried a lychee drink, it was pretty good as well. Atmosphere was lively, everyone’s in their own world. Will definitely come back again to try more drinks.

I probably drink about 5 drinks a year, and I decided I would drink a Spiced Cider at Jukebar for my last one of the year on New Year’s Eve.  It was served in an adorable vintage coffee mug on a saucer with a cinnamon stick. Tasted like a warm friendly hug. I was inspired by the adorable cup and welcoming neighborhood atmosphere, so I decided to document my experience at the bar while I was waiting to attend a NYE party at Elsewhere that evening.

Due to some life-changing events, I was traveling solo to NYC from Charleston,SC. From the moment I sat down at the bar, I felt very welcome and at ease. I was served by the lovely Siobhan (Shiv for short) and got to know Connor as well. I noticed both had very Irish names and was entertained by their personalities. Being there felt much like going to a friend’s house. When I left the bar to go to my event, I left behind my favorite ink pen. I wasn’t having as much fun at the event as I hoped I would have (clubs aren’t great to go alone to lol), so I left early and noticed my pen was missing. I went back to Jukebar right after midnight, and much to my delight,  they had my favorite pen behind the bar.

I’m so happy they helped me find it again because without it, I wouldn’t have gotten to sketch the rest of my trip the way I wanted to. Thank you for a great experience and for helping a lonely traveler feel welcome in a new place. Truly such a great way to end 2024 and begin 2025. Wish you all the best!

This bar is a true local gem—a rare find in NYC. It has an elevated dive bar vibe with a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The bartenders are some of the best in the city, always friendly, skilled, and attentive. The drinks are high quality and reasonably priced for what you get. Whether you’re a regular or just stopping by, you’ll feel like part of the community. A must-visit for anyone looking for a laid-back yet polished spot to grab a drink.

Had a great experience hosting a birthday party at The Juke Bar. Was very easy to set up and the staff was very flexible with my groups requests. Service by the bar was very quick and the drinks were well made. Would definitely come back in the future, thank you!
