      Any NYC nite on the town should be capped by nitecaps at Dont Tell Mamas. You'll see.

      Lovely venue with friendly and hard working staff. We were lucky enough to see Lena Moy-Borgen's fabulous performance of It's a Man's World. She didn't oversell - she did make me laugh and cry! Would love to go again to enjoy the singing waitstaff too.

      Dueling piano bar at its funnest! Sunday night this place was jam packed and so much fun. Great relaxed laid back atmosphere, nice service,great bar
      And nice selection of food. The music was great and even some of the servers were singers. As the night went on it just got busier.
      We had a few rounds of drinks, the bubbly was plain good! And my friends had some fun colorful champagne cocktails. We got a charcuterie which hit the spot, and a great chocolate raspberry mousse, and we just had a great time. Lively , fun, great food and drinks.
      The music was excellent, and they honor requests. Was a great end to our day!

      Such a cool spot! While strolling the city we saw the epic sign and decided to make a quick pit stop. Our bartender, Randy, welcomed us right in and starters the visit on a great note. Ambiance is super upbeat and you can feel the positivity in there. We were hoping to order some oysters, but were informed the kitchen had already closed. Totally understandable since it was a a little past midnight. Ordered a few of their cocktails and enjoyed the piano show accompanied with the great singing by the bartenders.

      Piano bar as interactive entertainment, with the pianist -- a great entertainer on his own -- roping in waitstaff and guests to sing sets and requests, usually with the house singing along on the choruses. Terrific fun.

      We didn't try any food, but were happy to fulfill the two drink minimum. Drink consistency between rounds was a bit off, but it was still all good.

      Lots of talent, lots of fun, a wonderful way to wrap the evening after a good dinner elsewhere. We'll definitely be back.

      Still a classic historic place to see local cabaret acts in NYC. Drinks are a little pricy and the place smells like a toilet, but free cover and oftentimes great entertainment.

      Stumbled upon this place and no regrets, so much fun! Great combination of music and comedy. Everyone is welcome. Does it take a little while to get another round of drinks? Sure, but that's because they're bringing them drinks and belting out tunes all at the same time, impressive.

      Ambience and Local Talent make this a hidden gold mine for theatrical and piano sing along fun plus happy hour drinks keep you engaged until the place starts to fill up around 9 pm. Every visit to NYC must include a night at Don't Tell Mama! With Ron Jangaard from South Florida.

      Arrive early for the best seat and n the cabaret bar area.

      Always fun to be at a piano bar. Not the most impressed with the food but still a pretty good vibe. I like how the bartenders would sing sometimes

      We had such a fabulous night at Dont Tell Mama's. The performers were amazingly talented and kept the fun rollin'. Our Waiter, Marcus, was incredibly nice and made us feel very welcome. Thank you Marcus!
      Fries and Ketchup became an inadvertent theme of our night, and in an unanimous vote, Don't Tell Mama's was voted our Favorite NYC Fries!

      Thanks to all at Dont Tell Mama's. I know I will be back
