Sid Gold's Request Room - New York, New York

Did we ever luck out with the very talented, witty, charming and hilarious Nicholas Connell at Sid's. We sang up a storm and felt like I was at a friend's house (albeit a crazy talented friend). Shut down the bar on a high note! ?

(We didn't eat so not rating food)

We went on a special night… Monday night when a regular was there who has been featured in a lot of places. He’s not in nyc anymore. Loved this piano night with professional singers.. drinks aren’t amazing but the prices are reasonable. We got a table and it was fun.

Sid Gold's is hands down the coolest bar in New York! I recently hosted a party here, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance is perfect for creating intimate connections, and the music is absolutely amazing—just the right vibe to get everyone singing along! The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly. If you're looking for a place to throw a party or just enjoy a night out, Sid Gold's is the place to be. Can't wait to come back!

Came here for karaoke! It was a Wednesday night and there was a decent crowd. FYI for people unfamiliar with this bar: you karaoke to piano music! No machine, no lyrics, so pick a song you know really well (and pull up your song lyrics on Google)! It's a bit more difficult than using a machine! We had so much fun and the pianist, Rob was pretty quick with calling people who signed up. This is definitely a unique experience that my New Yorker friend said is a very "New York thing". Two drink minimum per person, but the cocktails are pretty good. I had the Ginger Baker and my buddy had the Moscow Mule.

DONT GO HERE!!! They freaking serve watered down drinks. I ordered an old fashioned and it was literally (not exaggerating), only water. And it didn't happen with only one drink - to name a few, stawberry fields and always on my mind.

The service was also a little slow as well, just saying.

The piano karaoke is cool, though, only if you get drunk somewhere else before.

FYI, this place doesn't serve food, that's why the one star is for food. All they have is peanuts and popcorn.

I wouldn't recommend this place at all for any occasion or person. There are way better bars around here. I might have given less than one star if I could.

Order unopened beer here to be safe.

Learn from my mistakes and run to a better one. Peace ✌️☮️

Update- Response to the owner's comment:
Yeah, I did order 5 drinks between 3 people. As I mentioned earlier, 3 of our 5 drinks were watered down that's more than half of our drinks. Also, I did tell your server about the watered down drinks, which she took back. She brought back drinks that were a tad less watered down, then disappeared for the rest of the night. So, as the owner I'd recommend for you to look into what happened with the direct service staff with my experience instead of detailing the success of you private event. Unless of course you feel you were successful enough for the night that a reduction for in quality for a few clientele is insignificant. Also, I'd recommend you also look into consumer behavior more, as most consumers tend to not lean towards not openly complaining and simply not returning. If you have time after looking into your quality assurance issues.

This is a cute little place to enjoy if you like to do karaoke because they have live karaoke in the back room. What I like is also that the front room is totally separated from the back room so if you just wanna enjoy a drink in the front during happy hour for example, you can do that.it also seems that everyone that comes here wants the music so it’s a great little environment in the back and so fine and you can request your own song. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

The bar was great. The pianist, though :/ . I have been to other Sid gold’s location e.g in Detroit and had a great time. The pianist last seemed to had favored one group over others. Our group’s song request were skipped over and were sparsed in between. I personally waited more than an hour before I get to sing another song, while a few people have sang twice by this time, and a particular group who appreared to be friends of the pianist have had multiple people singing multiple times. I have had friends who came and left without singing, which was a disappointing experience. I understand that the pianist wants to go through as many people as possible and I applaud that. But there was clearly one group with a 2-3 people who had sang 2-3 times while I have to wait more than an hour before my second song and a couple of people from our group didn’t get called up at all despite putting in their song request more than an hour before closing time. It felt Iike we were crashing their parties and the pianist just didn’t like us (although I’m sure it’s not true). As a cherry on top, before we close, the pianist said we only have time for 2 more songs, said sorry that he cannot go through everyone and called a girl that have sang 3 times (guess from which group 😉 )! I understand that the pianist wants everyone to had a go but choosing song/singer arbitrarily instead of following the request lists and only skipping over people who clearly been going up too many times, just makes his life unnecessarily difficult and left guests felt unfairly treated. Especially when one group is clearly favored. Overall we had fun but it’s somewhat disappointing. I’m sure he was trying his best and mean no harm. But our experience was…meh.

My boyfriend and I spent the day exploring Chelsea Market, Little Island, The Highline, and Hudson Yards. We decided that we would walk back to our hotel in Times Square. We love live music and this is how I can upon Sid Gold’s Request Room. Other than that I didn’t read any of the other reviews. At first it was a little hard to find, but we found it.

When we walked in there was nobody in the front half of the bar except two bartenders. It was a Monday night. The asked us if we were there to see the piano and that we just needed to go behind the curtain.

When we went behind the curtain to the other half of the bar we found piano karaoke of showtunes and musicals. The individuals singing were extremely talented. We felt like we were on Broadway. I wanted to sing Hello Dolly but I was too scared maybe next time after some practice.

The next morning I asked my boyfriend what his favorite part of the day before was and he said the piano karaoke. He said they all just sang so beautifully and it was such a unique experience. I said that’s what I love about Mew York City you can go for a walk any place and stumble across one of the best times or nights you have had. Everyone was welcoming and kind at Sid Gold’s thanks for sharing your talents with us.
