All Visitor Reviews for Jay's on Read Street (6 reviews)

I just found this place the other day. A nice quite place to have a conversation with someone with out having to shout to be heared

I walked in and immediately felt at home. Heck, it's a lot nicer than my home really. But most of all, it was the welcome of the people there. And not just the worker-bees, but also the customers. A piano bar is always a place you can count on for a welcome, but it's more then that. Its a home for anyone who wants to smile, be engaged, or just forget your troubles for a while. Made me feel good, and I hate bars where people just stand around and pose. Talk about get a life -- this place actually has a heartbeat.

A place to meet--and make--friends. There's regulars who always make you feel welcome and you can bring your straight friends without worrying someone's going to try to hit on them. Too classy a place for that. Saturday night has the worst music, but Friday nights are pure NYC. P.S. If you're afraid to walk down the street, stay in the County with the other dullards.

Finally, a friendly, welcoming place to meet your friends, have a conversation and listen to some great live piano - minus the attitude. The music goes from jazz, to standards, to pop. I love the mix of people that I've met there and the warm atmosphere. The place feels like it's in NYC.

If you like showtunes and nothing but and people singing along with the piano player and not to mention hard chairs and old men standing around then by all mean go there , lovely neighborhood wouldnt want to walk down this street alone !

Just what the community needed. Jay and Wil have done a wonderful job designing an upscale pub. Only wish they would open on Sunday!
