Don't Tell Mama - New York, New York

Don’t Tell Mama is such a gem! The staff here are incredibly talented—not only do they mix a mean cocktail, but they all have stunning voices and tons of charisma. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making you feel like you’re at a private show with friends. Cocktails were delicious and clearly made with care. It's the perfect spot for a unique night out, blending live music and great drinks. Can’t recommend it enough!

What a fantastic night out. Started with dinner on patio at Kitchen 46 (great price, taste & portions) before moving to the intimate piano bar.

Great night throughout the night especially Laura making cocktails & blasting out the diva songs, accompanied ably by Jerry on piano who is a great performer on his own as well.

The bar was full from 9-11.30 with people coming & going but constant was great entertainment & service.

Other singers who are also bar/wait staff were also very good.

Get there!

I had some qualms about trying this place due the occasional negative reviews, but the piano bar section is absolutely fantastic. There is a pianist who plays live music and sings, but all the bartenders join in and they have such amazing voices. It’s a shamelessly entertaining time if you go here to listen and sing along to great singers. It’s too loud to hold any kind of conversation though, so I wouldn’t come here if you’re just looking for background music.

Wooow what a place. What a cool place. Great music.. the bartenders and the waitress sing with him and they are stunning. Joe played the piano and is funny and a great singer. The whole crowd flows..
If u are in n.y.. you must go there

Amazing place to stop in for a drink and/or a bite to eat. The staff is friendly & the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. I had the eggplant & andouille sausage & it was so good that I ordered a second serving (I had skipped lunch, so was extra hungry). The Sexy Mama drink was a nice treat to end a day of lots of sightseeing (walking).

Je suis aller pour un événement corporatif donc je ne sais pas si c'est le même menu pour tout le monde d'habitude.
Nous avons eu des plateau style tapas. Qui sur l'idée est géniale et convivial.
Mais la c étais vraiment pas réussi.
Des burger avec une viande seche,des mini cheese burger trop cuit et servi quand même. Des choux fleurs insipide. Etc..
A part les bouchee bechamel proscuitto, le reste etais vraiment pas top.
Ca sembler vraiment des boite surgelés qu'on réchauffe au four.

Et les dessert ouch, n'appelez pas ca un tiramisu svp a 15$ en plus.
Un vol.

Et pour le show, musique trop forte et trop excentrique dans les choix et cri

This is such a fun night spot. We came here with friends who are fellow piano bar lovers. We were not disappointed. We had so much fun we ended up staying at longer than we planned.

This is a great place that is really lots of fun to visit. The crowd is pretty much mid-40s and up, a mixture of straight and gay. It's a piano bar sing-along kind of atmosphere. It can get extremely crowded so go early and expect to be tightly seated. Many of the staff carry microphones and sing while they are mixing drinks, wringing up checks, making change and waiting on tables. I was amazed at how they could do all that and still sing the lyrics to all these songs without messing up. It's such a fun place! I ordered the mama Martini which was really good and since it was late at night I just had an appetizer of the prosciutto Croquettes which are fabulous. Prices are in range with what you would expect in New York City and considering you get entertainment, well that's a pretty darn good deal. I had a fantastic time and even though I went alone I quickly made friends that I hope to see there again soon. I will be back! If you haven't been to don't tell Mama this is one of the best and funnest speakeasies in Manhattan. Check it out!
