Very nice vibe, great speak easy-ish vibe.Service was good, drinks were very good - the professor which was an ol’ fashioned was quite good and hit the spot.The silver fox was not bad either.Expression Martini’s are a favourite and quite strong. We quite enjoyed the cucumber highball as well.Chicken sliders were decent.

The service was abysmal. Our waitress seemed completely oblivious to us, despite our repeated attempts to get her attention by calling her over and waving.Being located in a basement, the place had a musty smell.As for the food, it was below average at best. The quality was disappointing.To top it all off, the waitress who was unresponsive the entire time lost my credit card and they never found it despite me calling and following up.

Love this place. Cocktails are amazing, service is on point and its always a good time. Walk in when they open and its chill speakeasy vibes. By 9 the parties just getting started, as the piano player passes out his phone for recommendations. By 11 everyone is singing at the top of their lungs and somehow the world is a better place. Did I mention the drinks and staff were amazeballs?

This place is a great speakeasy type spot for drinks, apps, and piano music. The servers all have fantastic voices and they will play anything you like. Great place for our of Towners and locals. You need a reservation to go and they have two seatings throughout the evening.

Lovely atmosphere! I love bars and restaurants with dim lighting and great seating. The ambience was super chill and amazing. The drinks were also fantastic! We ordered the rosé. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! Perfect for date nights or nights out with friends after work.

Had a 5:30 reservation, and they kept telling us that they needed the table for the next reservation. There were like 10-15 empty tables and seats at 8pm. They’re basically like “Hurry up and gtf out”.No one was coming and sitting here by the overpowering sound system.With tax and tip, drinks were about 35 each, which I guess you can consider the performances part of the cost. Drinks were strong, good atmosphere/lighting. They need to chill with the sound system.

Cute, underground, speakeasy-esque bar with live music, drinks and food. Pretty loud and lively. Food and drink is pretty good, drink list could be more extensive and interesting considering they market themselves as a speakeasy. But overall good spot!

This is easily one of the cutest bars in NYC. Good drinks and food, attentive staff, and fun piano and singing sessions. Our waitress Stephanie sang happy birthday for my friend and got us a chocolate lava cake with a candle. Definitely made my friend feel special! The decor was so cozy. Loved everything about it. Reservations do fill up pretty quickly- had to make one for a Friday night 2 weeks in advance. Would love to come back!

Such a cool underground cocktail bar 🍹BO PEEP is a dimly lit basement cocktail bar featuring vintage-inspired decor, plush banquettes & live piano.🎶LIVE MUSIC Tue-Sat📆Opening hours: Tue-Thur 6pm-1am , Fri-Sat 6pm-2am📱Reservations recommended on Rezy📍70 W 36th st, basement

First like this review if you also agree that the painting in the picture below is Adele because I can almost swear…………anyways, the speakeasy on the lower level was so intimate so dark and so cute. The vibe was absolutely right and there was a gentleman playing the piano and singing and also taking requests. I think it’s really funny that even the servers were part of the performance. The service that we received was exceptional and the drinks I would rate 7.5 out of 10

This bar was the highlight of our weekend! I couldn’t expect more. The live piano performances were marvelous, with the entire audience cheering and singing along. The service was excellent and everyone was extremely nice and helpful; most importantly, all the cocktails were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend ordering the Blue Parrot! We had a wonderful night in Bo Peep and will be back soon! The drink menu seems a bit different between first floor and basement, and the piano bar has a way higher quality of drinks. You must reserve a seat in advance for the piano bar downstairs.

We visited Bo Peep on a Saturday night at 9:30 pm as part of a birthday trip to NYC. We had an amazing time. So amazing we returned on Sunday night. Saturday night was a more rowdy crowd, more sing alongs and dancing. Sunday had a more jazzy, blusey feel. All performances were amazing - singers and pianists. Would absolutely return. Thank you, Erin and Jean Marie. You our experience extra special. I appreciate you both!! Also, Foxy Lady drink was yum!!!

One of the best live music nooks in Manhattan.I went there to experience a Jazz show only, and didnt really have a chance to taste the food. Ordered desserts and cocktails which were not that good if I dont wanna say kinda disappointing. I only leave the stars here for a friendly service and bougie atmosphere.

Apollo nights) the hostess was super sweet 🤍 she really cheered us up after we told her we had a terrible day—- and the performers were too notch! Kali(?) our server also sang and she served us in between singing, AMAZING!!Had an amazing time, and would definitely come back 🤍

We sat by the piano on Saturday night, we thought we will not stay long due to the loudness of the music, but once Ryan played the piano and sing, everything was alright. It was very fun and entertaining, this is probably the only place that Ive ever been, where all the staffs have a good voice and can really sing, I mean, really sing! The drinks was alright, the food was delicious, but the main reason that made us stay and order more drinks & food are the ambiance, it was really fun & entertaining!

What a great find. Down the steps to a little speakeasy with fun cocktails, light bites and pizza. Skip the pianist was awesome and the entire serving staff sings. Music started at 8. Fun retro decor, comfy seats and a wall lined with books. Love!

Everything here was great - the ambiance, the service, the drinks, even the other customers! We were initially very skeptical, given its proximity to touristy areas and high prices ($15-$17 per cocktail), but its completely worth it, and from the moment we sat down to the moment we left, we felt like we were getting our moneys worth.The room is cozy and not overcrowded or too loud, it just feels lived in. The live piano is engaging and warm, decor is interesting and not cliche. Service is attentive and helpful, and you can tell the bartend love what they do.I had a gin and tonic and Zoot Suit Riot and my partner had a Stirred Pictford and what turned out to be a pistachio Mai Tai, made custom for him based on a request for a sweet, icey drink. All our drinks were great, and they were VERY generous with the alcohol.Id highly recommend Bo Peep, but call early to reserve your table!

Neat speakeasy, great decor and atmosphere. We’re from New Orleans and it takes a lot to impress us with a good cocktail, but they have it down here! Expect to pay $18 per drink. Excellent music as well- piano bar style and the servers all hop in to sing too!

Great speakeasy, nice break from overcrowded Manhattan bars. Was expecting more low key piano music but instead was louder vibe. Although not what I was expecting had a great time. The staff all sing and are great. Got 3 drinks, all fantastic, my wife enjoyed her drinks as well. Calamari was a great bar snack and highly recommend the sweet potato fries, very crispy. If you go for the music i would recommend not sitting right next to the piano and be prepared for a louder atmosphere.

Review №32

Very cute bar downstairs. As people said, it is loud so sometimes we did have to almost scream at each other. I tried the rosebud and the peach highballs. Good cocktails and good if you want to just enjoy live music. They played renditions of like popular top 40 songs so it wasn’t as soothing or as sophisticated…but I enjoyed the atmosphere overall and it’s meant to be a fun place.

So. Much. Fun. Truly feels like you are going back in time to the Prohibition Era! The staff were friendly and the live music was incredible. The drinks were pricey but were definitely worth it. We got their sausage pizza and scrounged it down in like five minutes because it was so good!

Review №44

Honestly was kind of surprised how good it was from a service, vibe, cocktail, food point of view. Never would have imagined finding that so close to Penn. At the same time its exactly what you would expect in terms of the piano bar playlist for a bridge and tunnels scene. Billy Joel, Sinatra, Journey, Elton, etc. We gave $10 to hear a song from the last 10 years (Bruno Mars) and ended up leaving over an hour later not hearing it. And its not like the place was at capacity. We were probably the largest group there, and seated before the performance even started. So probably wont be going back unless I specifically need something in that area for suburban friends. But if this sounds like your taste then its a sure bet.

This place has great food and drinks and excellent entertainment. Their main problem is having a bad hostess. We arrived early to our reservation and checked in upstairs but told them we knew we were early and just wanted to let them know we’re here but planned to sit at the bar until it was our time to be seated downstairs. We were taken downstairs about a half hour early- BEFORE the 9PM live music would be starting. We were told we would only have an hour and a half for our reservation, so we said no we would wait until our time at 9PM because the main draw of this place was the live music. The hostess was extremely rude to us and told us that we would be required to be seated at 8:30PM instead of our scheduled time of 9PM because she booked a large party that would need our table at 10PM. After trying to get her to realize this was poor planning on her part, and asking what she planned on doing if we hadn’t arrived early, she finally moved us to a different table where we could be seated for our full hour and a half starting at 9PM- but this whole ordeal really ruined the night. She was extremely rude and unfriendly.

Had a great time here tonight! I think it was quieter than usual for Friday night due to the rain but nevertheless the staff and live music performances were awesome! There is this special charm to live music - it’s not perfect but it’s more personal ❤️ I must say the off menu drinks are BETTER! Please add Elliott to your regular menu! It was the BEST cocktail I had tonight and between me and my friend we had 8 different cocktails on and off the menu tonight and we both agree the mixologist’s personal cocktail named after himself - the “Elliott” picture here in the whiskey glass - was THE BEST!!!

Review №50

Music was wonderful…food was average…service was terrible. They came at the beginning to “welcome us and remind us that we had to leave before 8pm”. And yet there was little to zero attention after that. Many workers hung out by the entrance chatting when we were waiting to be served. The manager who greeted us obviously a prima Donna. Told them on Resy it was my birthday and they didn’t acknowledge it. Had to ask for drink order again as they didn’t offer to take our order. Had to wait for a long time to pay (even had to ask for check) and got up to leave and finally they came. Enjoy the music…not the drinks, not the service, and expect nothing (not even a happy birthday or happy anniversary) even if you tell them. A mediocre NYC experience. There are so many place that are so so so much better! Will not be back.

Elliott is their ONE and only bartender, artist, and magician. The man is a rock star. The piano is hot and the wait staff is part of the talent. I will come back to NYC just for this hot spot. Intimate, friendly, and do much fun!

Review №52

Overall a very disappointing experience.My wife’s birthday is Halloween, so we usually try to celebrate before or after to Avalon the Halloween crowds. I had a business conference in NYC the following week, so figured that would be a perfect time to celebrate. After doing a ton of research I decided on Bo Peep and made a reservation weeks in advance.We arrived a couple minutes early and were promptly taken down along with another couple with reservations at the same time. They notify you when making reservations that they are for 2 hours, and remind you again when seating you. It is a small venue, and allows for them to turn tables and have multiple seatings a night. That is not a problem if the service is fast and efficient, unfortunately our service was neither. Both the host that sat us and our server wished my wife a happy birthday and our server said they would like to treat her to dessert after our meal. I ordered a cocktail as my wife looked over the menu(the Heritage Old Fashioned) was wonderful, as were all the cocktails. Our server returned with that about 10 minutes later, and we ordered a couple small plates as well as my wife’s cocktail. She returned with the cocktail again about 10 minutes later, and my wife ordered a bottle of sparkling water. Our server returned about 15 minutes later and informed us that the kitchen was very busy and running behind, and our food would be out shortly. I ordered another cocktail. About 10 minutes later she returned with my cocktail and our food followed. So we’ve now been here 45 minutes and just received our chicken liver mousse and Bo Peep Little Sheep. The food was wonderful! Knowing how long the food had taken we got our severs attention and ordered a few more of the lamb chops and another round of cocktails. My wife also inquired about the sparkling water she had ordered, which our server had obviously forgotten. She returned about 15 minutes later with our cocktails and water(finally). About 20 minutes later another server asked if there was anything we needed since our server was singing at the time. We told her we were waiting on food, so she said she would check on it. Our server had never rang it in however. She came back and asked what we had ordered, apologized and said she would get it right out. About 20 minutes later we received them. As we were finishing them the host came over and told us we would need to finish up soon as we were nearing our 2 hours. I tried to explain that we had not even had the opportunity to have the dessert that was offered because our server had forgotten to ring in items and the kitchen had been “backed-up” originally. He immediately got an attitude and became defensive. He then talked to a manager about allowing us to stay at our table for the dessert we had been promised, who asked him what or total tab was(mind you with fast and efficient service it would have been much higher, as they had a vast selection of whiskeys that I had planned on ordering from after eating). She told him they could not accommodate and he returned to us with the news. I asked him for the bill, so we could pay and leave the table for the next party. After paying, on our way out the host and manager we’re on the stairs. I took the opportunity to explain the situation to the manager who did not have a better attitude than the host, but she did offer to sit us at the bar next to the piano player so we could have dessert. Because of the attitude from both of them and terrible service we had received(we have both spent years in the service industry), we chose to take our money elsewhere.The atmosphere, drinks and food were all fabulous. The music was great, and honestly aside from our service it would have been great. That night there were 2-3 servers working and all throughout the night also took turns singing with the piano. 1 of the servers was truly amazing, running her drinks and checking over her tables while serenading. If you do go here, definitely hope she is your server.

Review №58

A true gem, you will definitely have a great time here, alone or with friends or on a date - just make sure you book in advance. The later you come - the more fun, so if you make 6pm reservation they might ask you to free the table in 2 hrs (but in a very gracious way) so I would recommend to come around 8pm.With all the great singing it is quite loud, so dont expect to have a meaningful conversations here:)The ambiance is speakeasy chic but relaxed, so you can wear something dressy or casual and dont feel out of place.The cocktails were great, my absolute favorites were The Rosebud (not too sweet but the egg foam made it taste like a nice desert) and Some Like it Hotter. I was not a fan of Blue Parrot, and The Cucumber was refreshing and nice.The beef tartare was perfect and Deviled Eggs for some reason came in the count of 5 egg halves, which made us want to find the table who got another half of our egg. It could be a fun ice breaker game:))The pistachio creme brulee is a must try, I will be back just for it.

Check out their live piano performances Tuesdays through Saturdays! Recommend making a reservation specifically for Bo Peep, their speakeasy with piano bar downstairs. Rag Trader is specifically their upstairs bar. Great menu with a wide variety of thoughtfully curated cocktails from stirred and strong to tropical/tiki, and solo spirits. Food is quite good too: standouts are the ribs and sweet potato fries, and a selection of pizzas.Great date spot or casual evening with friends, whatever the occasion, Bo Peeps lovely piano performances accompanied by rotating singers will surely be a highlight for your night out!

Dont let the name fool you, the sexy dark corners of Bo Peep are perfect for a nightcap. The speakeasy-style cocktail and piano bar will be entrancing in the wintertime.

What a wonderful night! It’s an intimate speakeasy setting with incredible casual performances by the waitstaff/hosts and delicious fare.I went there with some college friends for the first performance at 6pm. On the piano was Anna Lei (what a voice!!) who led us through our piano bar experience. She sang and played for other members of the waitstaff while engaging playfully with the crowd. The waitstaff all have incredible voices and were so lovely to interact with as well! I believe there was a second performance starting at 9 that I heard is great too!The food and drinks are also perfection. I had the rosebud to drink, and my friends and I ordered the margherita pizza, the scallion wings, and the ribs to share—each competing for our favorite. My friends also ordered an octopus dish that looked phenomenal and was gone quickly, and another friend had the salmon poke which he was territorial over.10/10 experience if you’re looking for an upscale and relaxing night out with friends or colleagues, or a hidden gem out in midtown. I highly recommend this place. And remember to tip the piano player/staff!

Your grandmothers living room never sounded so good! Great date spot and fun for groups Skip the piano master Brevis and singing staff kill it with classic and current songs that keep the crowd wanting more and signing along. Feedback for owners: please more bar seats and larger martini glasses!

Great atmosphere, amazing drinks and food way better than it deserved to be. Just wish that the service, though very nice, was a little more available to take more drink orders instead of singing (although they were exceptional)

Delightful space, perfect for date night or a small gathering of friends. Food and drinks were delicious. Best of all was the piano player, Aaron Glenn, who played a perfect mix of old favorites that really helped the evening feel special. Highly recommend.

Weve been here about 5 times. The first few times were absolutely fabulous. The service was great, the food was great, the music was phenomenal, the drinks were great. But the last couple of times weve been, weve been forced to leave because theyve become much more stringent with their reservation policy. Its really a bad experience to be booted out when youve only been listening to music for an hour. Not only that, but they charge you a tip ON TOP of the cover charge, which is absolutely outrageous. Tonight, the musician arrived 30 minutes late, so we asked them to subsidize the music cover charge, and they wouldnt budge whatsoever. It seems that some management structure has changed for the worse.

Bo Peep the staff Bar tenders were amazing. Elliott and Richard were personable , they both went above and beyond mixing drinks according to our taste. We had amazing conversation with both bartenders, Elliott had some great advice on liquors to buy. I would definitely suggest and will never come to NY without coming to Bo peep againThe atmosphere and the musicians were amazing. So sad that ELLIOTT will be leaving this establishment. This will be a true loss for Bo peep. Thank you for the wonderful time.

Bo Peep is such a unique place with the best live music I have ever seen. I was very impressed to see pop up performances from a few waitresses. The locale is so intimate and feels like going back in time. The live music performers were animated, engaged with the crowd, and put on the best show Ive seen. They also take song requests and are very talented. Tip them well! Also, important to know each guest is required to spend at least $25.

We popped in for a drink before heading up town on the train. This bar was packed and super chill. The staff was really great although I’m not sure they served one of our drinks w any Gin in it 🤣 which we laughed off. They were super slammed and we didn’t want to make a fuss about it. But I think they figured it out because the next one was hella heavy. 🤣The do make some beautiful drinks tho!! And damn tasty!!!!All in all we give this place 5 stars for being a pretty awesome happy hour spot. Everything was pretty awesome. And the service was spot on.

What a great bar! From the Live music to the excellent drinks and the delicious food, this bar has something for everyone!For food we got the baby kale salad, deviled eggs, fries and pistachio creme brûlée. Everything we order was excellent and recommend all those items to anyone!!For drinks we got the rose bud (must have!!) and nighttime in the jungle (amazing!)Finally the place has live music and you can make in requests which really amplifies the vibe! Wish I had taken pictures for this review as my review won’t do justice till you see the place yourself!

This is by far my favorite bar in the city! Its a piano bar with an amazing decor and atmosphere. To be honest I come here for Skip (the main piano player) he is just awsome! So much fun with such a wide breadth of songs in his arsenal.The drinks here are great, and if you dont find anything on the menu to tickle your fancy just as the bar staff to concoct something for you. They will happily work away on something amazing.It can get busy here and the place is small so make sure too book if you can.The staff here also make this place what it is. So friendly and helpful, plus they (most of them) sing too with skip so get ready to be treated to a world of musical talent.If your looking for your next date spot, look no further.

Review №157

One of the best places in NYC. Absolute must visit if you’re in the city! I love the cozy ambiance and the drinks are amazing and not so “typical”. It seemed like a bit of a hole-in-the-wall place to me at first but that makes it even more special. This is always my go-to after the office as other places in midtown get too rowdy/crowded/annoying but this place is always perfect. All singers are incredibly talented and friendly and the location is convenient. It’s a very lovely place to grab a drink, chat, enjoy music, relax and enjoy yourself. BoPeep does not disappoint!

Maybe its cause we sat outdoors, who knows. But service is so slow, as if they forgot our table. Took nearly 15 minutes to sit us down and another 30 minutes to recieve 4 beers, server kept telling us it would take 5 more minutes, 3 times. the bar is super backed up. The restaurant was barely at half capacity, cant imagine a full restaurant, must be chaos. Lol the food managed to come out first before we received water or beer.If I hadnt flagged the GM wed probably never gotten our order. But hey atleast the first round was compd until we received the bill and it wasnt. Seems like theres a lack of communication between the staff, honestly had high hopes but a total let down. As a person who works in this industry the service was quite embarrassing.

For Bo PeepVibe: Intimate vintage style speakeasyValue: Easily one of the most unique and most NY experiences you could have. My favorite place in the city. The live music and personality of Skip Brevis is worth it alone.Plane To Paris - One of the more creative cocktails and well executed. Would order again.Casanova - Solid but not memorable by any means.Drunkin Donuts For Two - Dough and the fry was well done. Raspberry was the best flavor but the banana tried too hard.Carrots - On the firmer side but didn’t mind it as there was a good sear and everyone in NY typically overcooks their carrot appetizers.Wings - The yuzu mostly brought acidity to the dish instead of complimentary flavor.Purple Haze Cheese - Embarrassing portion.Buffalo Chicken Pizza - Absolutely delicious. So savory and umami filled. May be my favorite food item here.Fries & Dips - Fries were crispy and fresh. Aioli and chipotle sauces were great.Blue Parrot - Incredible cocktail. Lavender and lemon implemented well. Bubbly, refreshing, flavorful, while light. Definitely get again.Casanova - Had the essence of an old fashioned but a lighter body due to the mezcal. Delightful when in the mood.Rosebud - Favorite drink here. Just the right amount of rose and the other notes accompany it well. Texture of the egg whites paired nicely.Outlaw - Great. Loved the clarity of it yet it was bold and strong at the same time.Chocolate Lava Cake - Wish it were ice cream instead of whipped cream. Cake was cooked ok but wish it were more molten and soft in the middle.*As always, remember everyone has off days, check your bias, and consider other palates.

Want a quiet low key place with a mixologist making your drinks? Here is it. But don’t look to use your phone, no signal down there which is part of the feeling of actually disconnecting from it all. Food is on point too!
