JC Earle: This is a great show venue - I went to cover the Latin Alternative Music Conference and it was a great time. Their bartenders were pretty chill and their drinks were delish. Two thumbs up
Concert Ticket Agency: Great intimate venue. Bands love playing here, you'll love seeing them here. Just grab your drinks on the way in and stake out your place on the floor. It's going to get crowded.

Susan Hobbs: Blink and you’ll miss the unmarked door. Inside you’ll find a serene respite from Times Square. Classic cocktails, excellent wine, and small plates. Make a reservation via phone.
The New Yorker: “Bar Centrale is almost ostentatious in its understatement. The black-and-white photographs on the walls are of Joe’s friends, & musicians he likes. Until recently, there wasn’t even a cocktail list.” Read more.
