The Duplex

"June 30th NYC parade, I was there around 1:30 am , seating at the bar having a beer then suddenly the security guy (in a very mean way) ask me to get up and move to another seat because it was his seat so I juts leave without even having finished my beer. It’s so sad because I used to go to this bar after work very often and never have that treatment before :(."

"Love the 70's music and how former owner treated past waitresses. They are celebrated all along the wall. I enjoy going there thoroughly."

"I've visited this bar several times on trips to NY and had a great time each time. This time however the guy signing seemed high as a kite and the bar staff were just downriver rude and arrogant. One guy just seemed to be aggressive from the get go and looking for an excuse to snap. He clearly was having a really bad day or hates his job as a server. Hopefully next time we visit if we do they have some of the great entertainers and bar staff we'd experienced multiple times before"

"Ah! The Duplex! Everything about this place screams good times! The first floor has an exit to the patio area and there is also a piano where all the good songs are being performed. The second floor, on the night when I was there had a drag performance. The drag in question is Pink Pancake (if I remember the name correctly) and she is one fierce performer! Definitely a must visit!"

"An amazing night out is always guaranteed with The Duplex. Their amazing drinks (strong!) and service is always with a smile. Come for the drinks but stay for the amazing singing and music, especially with T-Rex and Paddy on the Piano. The bathrooms are ok, clean enough and the attendant is really sweet. Security were friendly and polite, keeping us all safe. Bring cash for tips for songs if there is something you wish to be sung (or Cashapp / Venmo)."
