Still pouring

Checked October 16, 2026.

Overview

Loud music and pricey yet mediocre food doesn't deter an after work crowd of junior investment bankers from packing the place.

History

Banker's hours, if bankers stayed till four

Banc Cafe, in Murray Hill since 2004, is still at 431 Third Avenue1. When we listed it, we noted the loud music; these days it advertises live music, along with classic American food and what it calls an extensive libation selection1. The bar stays open until 4 am from Wednesday through Sunday1.
