I love this place. My friends and I come to hear Shanna Sharp rock it out.
Love it!
We love Poppi Kramer! The Duplex rocks!
Great night out
This FABULOUS piano bar! is a must see, we had great nights out here, but a mixed crowd, all and any welcome, staff friendly all take a turn singing (some better that others) patrons welcome to sing also but again some better, some not, its the sort of place you could bring your straight mates, really great night out.
FABULOUS piano bar!
Duplex is a great mix of piano bar, neighborhood hangout, and cabaret theater. The piano bar downstairs is a fun place to hear up-and-coming New York singers (and once in a while a famous one) belting out anything from rock and roll to classic showtunes, especially on a Monday night when all the Broadway folks have a night off and Darius Frowner is playing the heck out of the piano. Upstairs is a more relaxed feel, with darts and games and a cozy hang-out space, and attached is an intimate cabaret space where you can catch all different kinds of shows, from one-man/woman cabarets to readings of full cast musicals. A fantastic spot for tourists and locals alike!
The best times...
I have had some of the best times of my (going out) life here, Sunday nights are the best. Brian Nash, Poppi Kramer, and Kate Pazakis are so much fun, and the talent between them is amazing. Brian is entertaining and amazing, and Poppi makes the best Cosmo's!
