Editorial Review for Zinc Bar – by Leah Hochbaum

The Scene
Nestled in an easy-to-miss nook on Houston Street, Zinc Bar ushers guests through plush red velvet curtains to a cramped yet cozy front room that throbs with the band's every beat. Should it be romance you're looking for, the back room is an airy oasis where the music is muted and speaking above a whisper is akin to blasphemy.

The Draw
Patrons span a range of ages--and many of them are regulars, drawn to the rhythms of an eclectic assortment of standard jazz (Mondays, featuring the Zinc House Jazz Band) and Latin and Brazilian jazz (Samba Sundays). Drinks are somewhat pricey, but the place isn't stingy with the liquor, just the elbow room.

Hey did any one know that Zinc Bar is in a new location? They're now on West 3rd Street. The music, the vibe, the space is even better than ever!!!!!

Pros: Great music for just dollars

Cons: None

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

had a great time at zinc bar. the music was great. probably the best place in nyc to enjoy brazilian song (and a little bit of dance). though the band could have benefitted from a little bit more organisation, talent was there. best of all was the attentive service. cocktail waitress and bar tender made one feel welcome and comfortable and added to the excitement. i would highly recommend this place whether u like brazilian music or not. it is fun and relaxing to hang out with friends or even alone

A place where jazz enthusiasts--as well as those unenthused by the genre--can sit back, relax and enjoy the mood.  See the full editorial review.
