Zinc Bar

It has moved to Third street and it is even better!

The vibe is thick with history; they say this was one of Billie Holliday's spots and you can definitely feel it in the walls. There is an eclectic music program with a big dose of Samba-Jazz. The more I go the more I feel at home and love it.

• Pros: Its a part of what makes New York special.
• Cons: Hard to grab a table.

World class music

by dougtree at Citysearch

Love the new space, even though I miss the intimacy from the old one -it's great to see bands now with 6-12 pieces, which they never could have fit in the old space. Been there a few nights now and have been amazed at the quality of music each and every time. The staff is attentive and friendly, and the vibe is fun. Definitely recommend a visit. On west 3rd street now.

• Pros: Great music friendly staff
• Cons: Difficult to find

Not the same......

by midgemini at Citysearch

When I heard that the Zinc Bar had moved, I was concerned that the change in locale might spoil it's great vibe. Unfortunately it was far worse than I could have imagined. Although the space is much larger (including better bathroom facilities which were much needed), it now longer has the same cool atmosphere. Admittedly, I was there on a Monday, a slower night, but it had the air of the sort of jazz club that the tourist bus might pull up too. Most of the clientele were elderly and the two acts were just plain bad.....a first in my years as a patron. How sad. It might still be worth it for a notable act, but not for hanging out.

• Pros: better bathrooms, very good waitress
• Cons: cheezy vibe

cosy dive where u will thrive

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
