Description
Tucked into a basement in the heart of Greenwich Village, Zinc Bar is a hidden gem that channels old-school cool with its intimate, low-ceilinged room, dim amber lighting, and vintage Art Deco accents. The venue sits on the site of the old Cinderella Club, a 1940s landmark where legends like Billie Holiday and Thelonious Monk once played. Zinc carries forward this legacy with a lineup that spans bebop, Latin jazz, and Afro-Cuban rhythms, often blurring genre lines with seasoned legends and emerging talent. The stage has welcomed modern greats like Roy Hargrove, Jason Moran, and Lionel Loueke, keeping the club’s reputation as a crucible for innovation alive. Its vibe is cozy yet electric, drawing die-hard jazz heads, locals, and curious newcomers alike. If you’re after a spot that captures the essence of Village jazz, with history in its bones and fire in its sets, Zinc is the real deal.
