Made a reservation for early drinks with a friend. Live music was cool, vibes were nice and bartender was great. We sat in the bar area which was chill (dining room is more formal but also where the action is). I tried: + 50/50 martini - great, love that you get a sidecar + Little gem salad - perfect + Tuna tartare - way over sauced, but tuna itself was good + Club sandwich - good Also had a great glass of Sancerre. Will book the main dining room next time (and dress up more)! read more

The Nines is such a beautiful, cozy, speakeasy-like spot, perfect for date-night. They had live piano and the noise level was quite high, but it had a romantic, intimate atmosphere. The cocktails were elegantly presented, with fancy refills. The food menu was limited, but the Poached Salmon with green & white asparagus and dill beurre blanc was delicious. Our experience could have been more elevated with better service, but it was overall a lovely evening. read more

Came here with my husband for date night. We had a reservation and the hostess was friendly with the people ahead of us but very cold to my husband and me. Don't know what that was about but I didn't want that to ruin the vibes so I let it go. We were seated and ordered a few drinks. The waitress was very lovely and had great recommendations. We ended up with just drinks and were pleased with them, I especially loved my martini. They served us a few snacks as well which was a much needed appetizer before our later dinner. The music was great and the ambiance was very fun. Not as much people watching given the layout of the space but very fun for date night. Next time I might do the bar area in the front because of loud volume of music and chatter in the back, but the back is definitely the better vibe. read more

This was the one reservation I had during my trip, and it happened to be in a part of town I wasn't familiar with. Getting here wasn't too bad though, and I arrived right on time for my 5p reservation. Entrance is under the ACME sign which is next to the red door that has a '9' above, which may be confusing to some on their first try. When you enter, you are right in the Parlor area where the host stand is off to the side. I was walked into the next room where the piano was, given a nice seat facing the bar. Going a completely different direction than what I had intended, I went from the club sandwich to the wedge salad, and I actually ordered a drink (a low-proof French 75). A trio of snacks was brought out, and I attempted to delicately demolish the popcorn and some of the chips, leaving the olives. This wedge salad was really good! I figured I was eating junk so far throughout my stay that this would somehow balance it out. Having pears in it certainly didn't hurt, and this was a refreshing choice. It was a little on the salty side which may have been the dijon vinaigrette but was enjoyable overall. As for the drink, I paced this with my water and finished it right at the end of my salad. Someone started playing the piano before I received my food, and among the 'traditional' choices, I swear I heard an obscure favorite of mine (Where Is My Mind? from the Sucker Punch soundtrack) which was pretty cool and unexpected. The restroom was located right before the kitchen where the door is right off the dining room; a little awkward so just watch where you're going so you don't run into the staff. My experience with the staff, the food, the decor, all of the above was great. I certainly chose the right place for my one 'going-out' night, and I look forward to returning on a future visit. *Big thanks to Chris (Kris? Cris?) who assisted me over the phone more than once with making the reservation, and with a minor discrepancy which was corrected immediately once addressed. read more

Best jazz club I've been to--outstanding food, incredible vibe, and top-tier entertainment all night. The music sets the perfect mood, the crowd is lively but not overwhelming, and everything from the service to the atmosphere feels polished.

Awful experience here. Ambiance is overrated and outdated. Everything is billed as this incredible/classy decor, but it's not like that in person. Staff was so snobby and rude. Instead of welcoming you in, they say things like "Excuse me, you need to check in with me before going any further." Piano was playing versions of 2000s rap songs, food and drink menu did not match that atmosphere. This place is caught in between Instagram and a Membership only club, in the worst way possible. So many better options in NoHo, don't go here. read more

I'd recommend this place for a date night or special occasion mainly for its swanky and sultry vibes and live jazz performances. Food and drinks, on the other hand, were just alright. Hard to tell if something is an appetizer or entree on the menu... Service was attentive, no complaints! read more

One of my favorite places in NYC to meet for a drink! Love meeting friends or a date here, but usually need a reservation.

This place is amazing! We booked the dinner service for my boyfriend's birthday. There is a $45 charge per person to attend the jazz showing. It does not go towards the bill so this is a pricey experience but so worth it! Music is wonderful. Food was excellent specifically the branzino was one of the best I've ever had! Drinks were strong. Very boujee manhattan vibes if that is what you're looking for. Would love to go back! read more

I was looking for a place to spend my 32nd birthday with great food and better atmosphere. The Nines did not disappoint. From the second we walked in the vibe was exactly what I was looking for. It was like being transported back to the 1920's with everything red, velvety, dark and sexy. The food was amazing. We started with the oysters and tartar that were really flavorful. My steak was phenomenal and cooked to perfection. My fiancé had the burger and he is still talking about it. We are already planning our next trip back! read more

I came for a late Friday dinner with a couple friends to celebrate a friend's birthday. Although we made a reservation, it still took a decent amount of time for us to get seated (~15 min). We were seated near the pianist, so it's definitely a bit on the louder side - wouldn't recommend this as a spot to catch up with friends but maybe more to enjoy the music (and you can request songs at least the day I was there which I regret not doing). We ordered some drinks - the Nines and Hotel Nacional. I quite liked the Nines - it was fruity and not too sweet, although my friend didn't love the aftertaste. I tried the Hotel Nacional which I had debated getting but glad I didn't since the taste more closely resembled cough syrup in my opinion. The drinks are also very much on the pricier end (think the Nines was ~$26), so not sure if I really think it's worth it. As for food, we just ordered a bunch of plates to share including the tuna tartare, Gnudi, duck pommes frites, and the fries. I didn't have super high expectations for the food but it was actually pretty good albeit small portions. The tuna tartare tastes fresh and has a slight fishy flavor (but in a good way in the sense that the natural flavor feels preserved/not overpowered by the other ingredients). The tuna was served with these small crackers that resemble mini bread slices that were a perfect thickness/crunch to pair with the tuna. I also loved the flavor and crisp of the duck pommes frites but sadly they only come with 3 thick slices of fries, so definitely felt a bit overpriced. The Gnudi was also not bad and were kind of gnocchi-like, so it was more on the heavier side. I personally don't love gnocchi but even I thought it was objectively pretty good and my friends loved it. Lastly, the fries were quite good - skinny and perfectly crisp. Overall, our experience was pretty good - I don't think this would be a regular spot just because of how expensive drinks/food are but would be good for special occasions. My main qualm was the service - it took forever for us to flag our waiter down to order more food and ask for the check even though we'd literally be making direct eye contact with them. Additionally, the restaurant doesn't allow for people to take pictures with flash and if you bring in a cake, they charge extra for if you eat it there - so just a heads up if you plan on having a birthday dinner, etc. here. read more

The Nines - New American Near Me - New York, New York

The Nines gets a TEN+++! This jazz cabaret/lounge drips class and exudes the intimate appeal of timeless jazz in one of the sexiest settings I've ever experienced! THIS is where you go on any date night particularly a first date or any special occasion to impress and sway to entrancing live performances. You will NOT regret this decision. We were here to celebrate a birthday and the team did not disappoint. Truly Best in Class attention and service. Every detail was perfect. I could not find one detail out of place. Service orchestration was perfection. Cocktails were outstanding! The cocktail nibbles savory and the food and desserts excellent! The room and decor itself is a showstopper. Literally A MUST for every New Yorker and any visitor. In a word...UNFORGETTABLE! read more

Been dying to come here and it lived up to the hype. Sat at the bar on a Thursday at 5:30pm, had to reserve two weeks in advance (worth it) Manny the bartender was phenomenal - one of the best martinis I've ever had. And the service!!! Refills the garnish!! Delphine was also fantastic and brought me a white Negroni that blew my mind Super intimate, such a romantic spot - highly recommend and will be coming back read more

Disappointing. Went for Valentine's weekend, paid the cover, had entrees, a bunch of drinks, tipped 20%, and were there only an hour and a half before were told they needed our table for a reservation and rushed us out. No reservation at 11pm seemed to be coming either. Hostesses were rude all night. Waitress forgot things. Cocktails were watered down. Food portions were minuscule. The room is nice, but it's Disneyworld for influencers and tourists, not a real jazz club or supper club, and not real NYC. Was excited to go, now will not recommend it. read more

I went back and had great service! I ordered the crab Louie salad and that was just ok but the star of the show was the strawberries and cream dessert! I highly recommend that with a glass of wine and the fabulous music read more

Beautiful venue with a classy, sultry vibe. Pianist playing in the background. Very small and intimate. Perfect for date night or after work cocktails with a friend. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Reservations are hard to come by. Limited menu with a hefty price tag. Complimentary snacks for the table (popcorn, olives, chips) We started the lobster wedge salad which was very tasty, a shareable portion. The burger was very good, juicy, cooked to perfection. Served with crispy shoestring fries. The waitress forgot our tuna tartare so we had that after the burger, my least favorite, didn't have any taste. We were offered a complimentary dessert, went with the chocolate mousse which was divine! Not too sweet, served with a light whipped cream. Both the nines cocktail and the Paloma are great choices. I also had a espresso martini which is not on the menu that was made very well. read more

We got all dressed up for a night out at The Nines. The best reservation I could get was for 7:30 pm at the bar on the Saturday my friend was in town, and I do think the experience would have been better at a table. That being said, it was still perfect and had exactly the vibe I was looking for: upscale, old school NYC, classy. A great way to impress an out of town guest. Given that there are no prices on the online menu I was worried what it would cost here, but in the end it was a little over $100 for a shared appetizer, a main, a shared dessert, and two cocktails. "Reasonable". The only hiccup in the evening was when we wanted to order dessert and they told us they needed our seats - and there were multiple open bar seats at that point. We expressed our disappointment and they ultimately indulged us, but it did tarnish the evening. A fun spot to "hang out" given the music and vibe, but you aren't really allowed to "hang out " - eat and get out. The food and cocktails were good, but it was really about the experience, which I enjoyed despite the hiccup. read more

5/5 service - the team here takes care you. Nothing more to say but excellent job and my thanks to the team! Ambiance 10/5 - beautiful inside and the pianist there the night I went was amazing. We sat right next to him so it was a bit loud. Food 4.5/5 - menu is quite simple which I guess makes selecting options quite simple. Sorry I did t get photos but plenty already here. Shrimp and avocado salad is refreshing and with jumbo shrimp. The nines club tasty, nothing different from any other club sandwich, foie gras was of good. Good very pricey All n all this place is for the ambiance and service. So you pay for that. Drinks all tasted wonderful btw. read more

The service was the worst ive ever had, so pushy and rushed to order (and pushed to order more). Before our seating time they literally called us on the phone unprompted and told us that each person was "expected to order multiple appetizers, an entree and dessert" and if they "saw we were using the table for something else" they would "take it away." I wish I could make this up. I sat in the parlor which was supposed to be for cocktails and appetizers. There were four people in my party. Three of us got entrees, I got a small plate and two drinks. Everyone else was also drinking. And the waitstaff acted like we were wasting their time. Who do these people think they are? I will never come here again and will tell everyone who will listen how overrated it is. If you want a real, vibey, classy, instagrammable but actually authentic jazz bar, go to Zinc four blocks away. Service at Zinc was incredible and the energy was amazing. It is family owned and rich in NYC history and hospitality. DONT GO TO THE NINES! read more

If you're thinking about coming here for cocktails, don't. As walk ins, the friendly host was able to sit us at a table by the front bar. The cocktail list was limited to 9 or 10 traditional cocktails with their own twist. I first ordered a Rum cocktail with apricot, pineapple and lime, expecting sweetness but got a drink that tasted like a melted jolly rancher over ice. My second drink, a side car, was also overly sweet, as well as my wife's cosmo. Beyond the overwhelming sweetness, the cocktails were way over priced ($22 - 26 range). All drinks were served exactly the same. Stem cocktail glass with zero creativity or originality. The drinks were not even double strained, as there was small ice chips in the glass. The menu also didn't list the liquor brands, so it's hard to know if they're using quality spirits. As a "cocktail bar" your drinks need to be better than what we got. Especially if you're charging almost $30 for a drink. These cocktails tasted like drinks made at a college sports bar. Do yourself a favor, save your money and stay away. read more

Classy bar meets live piano. The complimentary olives and popcorn were the perfect snack paired with our drinks. I ordered the Gimlet which was more tart than I expected. My friend liked the Jazz Rose. We made a reservation for a table but unfortunately they overbooked and we were seated at the far corner of the bar instead. Still enjoyed the ambiance though. read more

Extremely disappointed. I tried to go here a few months ago and it was closed for a private event (no notice online). This time, we checked the dress code online and followed it, yet were still turned away after the manager greeted us, said the host would help us, and then the host took 5+ minutes to look up from her iPad. My friend was in a hoodie for the cold (intended to be removed) and I was in a dress. The host asked us if we were there for dinner or drinks and we answered drinks. It wasn't until then that the host brought up dress code and said we weren't allowed in. It felt like her manager used her as a scapegoat and also as if she was reciting a script and not adapting to a situation (ie: we're wearing layers because of the zero degree weather, we will take off these layers and be wearing clothing appropriate for the environment). To be treated this way at 5:30 PM on a Monday in an empty establishment felt elitist and unnecessary. Plenty of other places in the city will appreciate our business more. read more

I heard the buzz about this spot and decided, I would come check it out. I tried emailing before hand for a dinner reservation, but they were sold out and asked me to try a walk-in. Reservations are strongly advised, at least two weeks prior and they go pretty fast, Notify on Resy could also be helpful. This past friday, I hosted ladies night and decided to visit The Nines post dinner, with three other ladies. Upon our arrival, at about 11:15pm, we noticed that the lines waiting outside was ridiculously long. However the door guy Frankie, was extra sweet to me and my party, and treated us with the utmost respect. Such a cool dude. We were asked to head in and wait downstairs, midway down, we realized The 9's which we wanted to visit was upstairs, so k told him, to which he responded- telling us to wait downstairs for some time whilst tables were being turned over. Less than 10 minutes later, my party and I were invited upstairs. The venue is a dream, a complete contrast once you step away from the noisy Noho neighborhood and into a romantic red dimly lit ambience that almost feels like you're transported back to the prohibition days, the venue has that old Hollywood glam feel, the artists on the piano and guitar were incredibly good, rendering classic melodious tunes. The music made me feel like I was a star in a movie (I know, I know) but it's a perfect place to get lost in the vibe and music, especially when a few drinks are involved. It's definitely a perfect romantic date night spot, recommend for lovers. Our server -Elsie, was a delight, truly pleasant and helpful and our table never lacked for nothing. Altogether we had a pretty good time, and Frankie, My guy! thanks for being absolutely wonderful. That being said, You must dress up to the nines when going to THE NINES. read more

The Nines - Main restaurant - New American Near Me - New York, New York

I wanted to test the service of the nines, and I do give it about 3 stars because of the attitude. The drinks were pretty good the food was ehhh for the price. I went on a Saturday and it was busy but not like a dive, it was more sit down vibe. We sat at the bar and almost immediately got attitude, maybe it was because the bartender had a bad night, but for the price it was unacceptable. If you're just going for a quick drink with a friend than i suggest you check it out on a Saturday. Monday night I found it quiet and even more snobbish, the bartender was a young lurch that wasn't friendly at all. I could take it or leave it. We will be stopping by again in a few months for a follow up and video will be posted via TikTok and Insta read more

LOVED THE VIBE AND AMBIANCE!! It was hard to get reservations but just to note, reservations open 14 days in advance FYI. Sometimes emailing helps too ha! When you walk in, there's a cocktail bar and when you go through the curtains, you see the main dining area that has live piano music playing daily. I highly recommend getting the burger, it is a must! Lots of cocktails to select from as well. What I ordered: - Tuna Tartare Classique lemon, chives, sesame, mache salad, crostini - N9 Burger raclette, burgundy onions, black garlic, dijon (comes with fries) read more

Amazing new spot where Acme was, from the team behind the also excellent Le Crocodile and Bar Blondeau. It's a cocktail bar complete with a live pianist, but they also serve excellent food. Definitely start with the Scottish Smoked Salmon ($28), which comes atop a hot, fluffy blini adorned with ora king roe. Get the 9's Club ($24) too, an excellent rendition of a classic club sandwich. We also tried the uni and the burger, but would love to come back to try the rest. read more
