About this place The Duplex

The Duplex is a gay cabaret and piano bar on Christopher Street at Sheridan Square in the West Village, just across from the Stonewall Inn. It has run as a cabaret since the 1950s. Downstairs is a piano bar where the singing waitstaff and the regulars take turns at show tunes. Upstairs is a small cabaret theatre with ticketed shows, plus a second bar. It opens at 4pm daily and stays open until 4am. The piano bar is free to walk into, but expect a drink minimum. Cabaret shows need tickets, so check theduplex.com for the schedule.

One of the bartenders were extremely rude and had an attitude for absolutely no reason. I was putting water in my water bottle which was mostly full and he came up to me with the biggest attitude and told me to upstairs for water instead because he doesn’t want to fill up the water tank. I don’t appreciate the disrespect. Approaching someone with kindness can go a long way. Sucks because I go there often with friends but won’t be returning if doing something as simple as using the water tank to put water in a water bottle is such a big deal.

this place is misogynistic. my friends and i were in an uncomfortable situation with this creepy guy who was alone and was filming us with his phone. we noticed this and it made us uncomfortable so we told him to stop and told the bartender. instead of hearing us out, he kicked all of us out instead of the creepy perpetrator. we went outside and talked to the bouncer and explained our situation as others came up to us saying the witnessed the entire thing and said the man filming was in the wrong, but the bouncer decided that we were “annoyed for voicing our grievances and told us to leave while threatening to call the cops on a group of young women. i’m so disappointed and frustrated with a place that prides themselves on being inclusive and welcoming. will not be coming back to support a misogynistic establishment with workers so quick to blame the women before hearing us out.

Wesley was the absolute best. He made my night. I came for my friend Nova’s drag night which was top tier. Extreme talent. I can’t speak higher about the service. Wesley was on top of everything.
