History

Still in crisis on Grove Street

Our old listing called this West Village basement one of New York's best piano and showtune bars. It was originally owned by Marie Dumont, and its site ties the address to the death of Thomas Paine¹. At 59 Grove Street the bar now opens at 4pm, and the posted hours don't commit to a closing time¹.
