Beauty Bar

Good old school Lower East Side bar with an extensive back room that has a bar and dance floor.
Good deejays, bartenders that make MEAN & STRONG cocktails.

I have been to Beauty Bar many times with my friends. Over the weekend, my coat was taken (most likely by a friend of mine) in a private room that was reserved for a birthday party. I reached out to the owner, Michael, the following day and he was more than happy to let me review the security camera footage to see who took my coat. He stayed for over two hours when the bar was closed to see we reviewed all of the footage. We did not find who took my coat but fortunately I was able to find it at a neighboring bar. I am very thankful for him taking the time and assisting me in finding who may have taken my coat. I would definitely recommend coming here on a weekend for drinks with friends, but just keep track of your coat!

My best friend and I went to Beauty Bar for the 1st time ever earlier this evening to celebrate my new job. He got a mani and we had 2 rounds of drinks. Both times I left cash tip since I have worked in this industry myself for many years and know that cash is king when it comes to tips. We close the tab and we get stopped at the door unexpectedly and the bartender accused us for not leaving tip meanwhile we left cash tip both times that we picked up the drinks. She was there right in front of us when I left her the cash tips on the bar BOTH TIMES and it wasn't crazy busy at all. It was busy but not like anywhere near college bar busy.

After I told her what went down, she accused me of being a liar, huffed and puffed then walked away. My best friend was speechless and stunned. I was dumbfounded that she caused a scene in the 1st place. We both literally had a great time up until that happened. Needless to say, this will be our 1st and last time going there. Terrible demeanor and service that left a really poor taste in our mouths given that we're both established people in our late 30's born and raised in NYC. This situation was very insult to both of us. It almost feels like native New Yorkers are nnot appreciated and welcomed here. It almost feels like native New Yorkers are not appreciated and welcomed here. They had security cameras all over so they can just easily check to see for themselves. Other than that, mani was superb and drinks were as well hence the 2 star rating.

Great bar with fun and retro vibes. Good dance floor and eclectic seating. Loved dancing to Abba and other older hits. If you're in the area, I'd recommend stopping by!

Amazing bar. So unique - you can even get your nails done! Awesome place to dance or just chill out, and everyone was so nice.

My new favorite bar in Manhattan. The bartenders were super friendly and the drinks reasonably priced. The decor is super kitschy. I loved it. I didn't get a manicure but will be back for one next time. 80s music a plus!

Love this little dance bar in NYC.
It's an former beauty salon and you can see it in the deco and before 10pm you still can get a decent manicure for 10$ (one drink included).
The dance floor in the back room is on the smaller side and at busy times it feels overcrowded. But the music was always dancable and groovy ;-)
Drinks are strong and reasonable priced, staff very friendly.
