The Roxy Bar

On our lists of the best cocktail bars, live music venues, activities and arcades & games in New York.

Pianist Michael Garin anchors the piano on many evenings at this Art Deco lounge inside the Roxy Hotel on Avenue of the Americas, with a rotating cast of jazz musicians taking over on other nights. A raw bar runs discounted oyster specials during a sunset happy hour, and a pool table sits inside the room's retro, triangular layout. There's no cover or minimum, though reservations are recommended for the later sets.
