The piano bar area
Stephen S.

The singing groupies were lively. The piano player was engaging and humorous. Great voice. The upstairs was a lot of laughs from the entertainer who was a funny with her zings and stories.

December 2024...maybe our 15th year coming together. He loves it just as much as I did when living here 20+ years ago.

I've been coming to Duplex for 20+ years, since I loved in the West Village in my early twenties. It is an amazing space. Sometimes, SOME of the staff have inflated egos and are unnecessarily snotty and that sucks, but those ones usually come and go and the majority are fun and talented. Adam was always a favorite, but not sure if he is still there. Regardless, we haven't missed one trip coming here in the last 20+ years of visiting (almost yearly). It is always an easy stop when going to Stonewall or Marie's Crisis. We will continue to come back unless something drastically changes.

My friends and I came here for a drink Friday night before dinner. We sat outside under the heated lamps. I got the Hot Toddy drink ($15). It was a warm drink, but it reminded me of an alcoholic version of a drink you would have when you're sick.... Not my favorite drink. Our server was attentive and came to check on us a lot but he wasn't hovering. I would come back and get a different drink!

Are you still planning on reopening after the fire?

Do they have bloody Mary's?

Absolutely! As well as many other cocktails.

I'm an out-of-town singer looking for add'l piano bars to do occasional solos (mostly B'way/Am songbook). Is that only offered on Mon and Tues nights there? Can you recommend any place other than DTM's and Brandy's (esp. for Th-Sun nights)? Thanks!

We have live music every night of the week where guests are encouraged to sing with the piano player. Music starts at 9 Monday through Friday and at 5 on Saturday and Sunday.

Is this 18+ or 21+?

Hello, We are a 21 and older venue.

If you're on the fence about going to Eagle, well just hop off already and get your bum over there…read more I finally did and realized I had been missing out all this time. This fantastically grungy place is fueled by a mix of thumping beats, leather harnesses, and shirtless men. Even at its busiest, the vibe stays open, fun, and surprisingly well organized. The Wednesday before thanksgiving is apparently known for being the busiest night at the Eagle, and this year's record crowd should have sunk the whole operation, but the staff kept the entire production going smoothly like it was rehearsed. The Eagle's security team deserves direct credit. They managed an impossibly massive crowd without a hitch. Even with thousands trying to get in, the kilometric entrance line and the coat check line that stretched to the roof moved smoothly and never descended into chaos. Dan in particular handled a near-impossible task: recovering my smartwatch from a crowd so packed I had assumed it was gone for good. He somehow retrieved it, safeguarded it, and returned it to me with the utmost professionalism. Music is solid. The vibe is leather and musk. The inclusivity is not just tag line but a daily practice. This bar deserves every positive review on this app. Ignore the haters. Peace!

Leather gay bar with a distinct edge in an edgy neighborhood with staffers who have an edge too : )…read more The whole vibe of the place is meant to be edgy and transgressive. It works on some levels and not on others (no one will be singing show tunes but everyone's trying to look very serious in a faux macho sorta way) Fun place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there
