The Duplex

My favorite bar. Energy is unmatched to any other bar I’ve been to, and I give all credit to the staff. John, Danny, Lucas, and Sam make me and my girlfriend feel so welcomed, always make an effort to talk to us and make us feel right at home! I have truly never been to a place this welcoming and lively. Drinks are amazing as well as their performances. Amazing singers and amazing bartenders, definitely try this place out one of the best bars in nyc

My wife and I came here on a Monday around 9pm and had a great time! Luke and KJ were our servers, and both were terrific human beings and phenomenal performers. We would recommend this place to anyone interested in a West Village piano bar - Luke is very kind and attentive, and will treat you right. Also, the drinks are very reasonably priced for the neighborhood.

I’ve never seen roaches that size before. I understand it’s nyc but seriously the amount of roaches were diabolical. My husband and I had to go immediately. We were truly disgusted. On top of that I believe I was charged extra for just a nonalcoholic drink and a martini. Whatever I don’t even care about the pricing situation. The roaches however are disgusting. Other tables outside were killing them. You touch the walls and you see about 20 of them running around. Absolutely not!

Sam, Lucas, Danny, T Rex and G were so wonderful and so kind. The servíce was excellent. The music was outstanding!!!! Made the trip from Rhode Island centered around this cast. Came two years ago for my birthday to honor the spot and we had the time of our life ves. I went to the men’s room and one of the guys asked my girlfriend now wife if I knew I was the only straight guy in the place. I came here to celebrate gay culture and history. But never mind that, the place is fabulous and they make you feel like family!! Many thanks to G, T Rex, Sam, Danny and Lucas. Made our first anniversary so special!!!!!!

T Rex is the best bartender in NYC and tbe place was alive in the dead of winter

The Duplex is my go to place when I want to just sit, have a good time and enjoy some music. It’s a great feeling to walk into a bar, feel genuinely welcomed and thoroughly entertained for the night. Tuesday’s are one of the highlights of my week. Stephen Murphy is sensational on the piano and vocals. The camaraderie between the entire staff is a blast. Maci and Bria are two of the main reasons the atmosphere is always enjoyable and fun. These ladies are incredible singers and work tirelessly throughout the night balancing the crowds. The Duplex may be a NYC destination spot for tourists but it’s nothing without the staff. The Duplex is the building but they are its heart.

We had a disappointing experience here tonight. My boyfriend and I were turned away at the door without a clear or consistent explanation, while others were allowed in at the same time. The interaction felt discriminatory and left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. We were calm and respectful throughout, and there was no obvious reason given that justified the decision. I hope management takes a closer look at how door staff are trained and how decisions are made, because no one should feel singled out or treated differently based on how they look. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.
