Duane Park Reviews

If you are looking for a classy burlesque show and a fine fine dinner, you can’t go wrong at Duane Park. Have been there number of times for different shows and will go back for more. Classy, old throw back style atmosphere. Fine Dining great food and service. Great place to be with friends or just with someone special. This place is amazing.

My husband took me for a surprise birthday, place was nice food really good and the drinks too, I have to admit I wasn't expecting the pretty women to take everything off and leave soo little to the imagination. Is a classy strip show, women are soo pretty like in the movies, but be ready for full breast and almost nothing on the bottom. The master of ceremony is for sure in santa's naughty list, but he sings like and angel. Overall interesting experience and for sure my husband celebrated his birthday 8 months early.

We have been going to Duane Park for years when they were in their Tribeca location. They have moved to the Lower East Side into very elegant setting designed by Paul Etienne Lincoln where they put on fabulous Burlesque shows (the theme of the performances vary, but all are very professional and fun) along with delicious dinner and drinks. It is a great deal in all respects. First rate show and first rate dinner and service. We went for Opera Burlesque the other night and the performers were charming and very talented. You feel like you are in another, more elegant time. Go and enjoy!

My sister in law made a reservation weeks in advance for her father but because of a reservation regulation that is so outdated my great grandmother never heard of it we were put on a waiting list and pushed for other tables. Then just before the show they attempted to push us into tables used for waiting clientele that was turned away from the show's stage...they were RUDE, MEAN, DISRESPECTFUL AND LIED TO US...DO NOT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME.

This is the best Burlesque show in NYC. I love that the location is inconspicuous on a very busy Street. I love that everyone is dressed up to attend. I love the decor and surroundings. Included in the price is a 3 course dinner and show. You are immersed in the experience. I highly recommend it to everyone that is open minded and comfortable with Burlesque.

What an experience. This is my second time in 3 yrs and it keeps getting better! 3 course dinner with the most classiest burlesque experience ever. It's very contemporary yet old world glam. All guest are dressed in their finest ready to have an experience and enjoy the interactive show. Expect to spend $200 per person for an avg. Food, drinks and service was top notch. If I was rich, this is how I would start off every Saturday night!

Excellent Food and Entertainment!! Entire cast is amazing!! Love love love!! We flew in from L.A i wanted to have a nice dinner for my hubbies bday!! He was happy!!! Its a must!!

We went to a show on a random Wednesday night , -!: it still was amazing! Great Food , Great Show , and Great Performers !

Me and two friends totally enjoyed our evening at Duane Park!!! They have unbelieavable service, show, entertainment and food. We were lucky to have a special entertainment in memory of Prince with outstanding singers and dancers! We had a lot of fun from 8 pm through 3 am! Thanks a lot, Duane Park!

The show was amazing and the food was awesome. Me and my girlfriend went here for a date we got the Groupon deal. The environment was so chill and the girls were beautiful and very entertaining

What a fantastic evening. Upscale, intimate, stylish decor, fantastic food, great service, great singer and band and an amazing show... what else could you want?

Nice setting and decor, mediocre food (though not terrible), 3 out of 3 performers who took some of their clothes off looked like they were in their 60's and had lots of cellulite. Although the $100 per person price is not bad, when you add in drinks, tips, tax, etc., paying more than $330 for a dinner for two at this place is just absurd. I can understand the crappy food if the show was good, but definitely not the case here. The woman who sang was great, as was the last performer with the big ring, but the three other women who did most of the "burlesque-ing" were painful to look at and ruined my appetite.

The atmosphere is elegant, great delicious food, wine prices are reasonable....a must when you visit New York City. The show was done artistically to perfection and in good taste. The food is superb, the audience nice and elegant. Really a must when visiting the BIG APPLE!!!!!

Excellent food, first class service, and great entertainment. Couldn't fault it. Often with dinner shows the dinner takes second place to the show. But here there was a good choice and it excellent too. The service was also impeccable. The show was classy with top dancers and mc.

I went here not knowing what to expect. The show exceeded my expectations. This place has an elegant and classy atmosphere. The service and food were AMAZING! Live jazz band plays throughout the show and the host was great. You won’t be disappointed.

Duane Park Review: So where do I begin. My sister celebrated the BIG 40 at Duane Park at 308 Bowery with 20 of her closest friends and family members. The demographics of this group are Black African American Women who are professionals in Law, Healthcare, Real Estate, Law Enforcement, etc. The venue is sexy, the show adds to the ambiance and the food was tasty. However I believe good service is essential to the package to add to the experience. Despite the specific rules pointed towards our group with respect to seating arrangements and photographs that were not directed towards other patrons my concern in particular is with the Manager who refused to give his full name, so let’s call him Tony. In regard to a Birthday gift that was taken from under the table, when Tony was notified he immediately became defensive and insisted that staff had nothing to do with the missing item. This is without apologizing, without checking with staff or looking around the venue and without asking for contact information in case the missing item turned up. I followed up with Tony on the phone and his tone continued to be rude and dismissive and he certainly did not care that we just dropped $3,000 at the restaurant. Besides sharing this experience with you I will track down Ownership as they should be aware of Management’s actions and be reminded that Managers need training as well especially if they are dealing with the public as their behavior will trickle down to staff accordingly to set the example in shaping the establishments reputation. And based on the experience of this group we left Duane Park feeling as though we would not have been treated this way if our skin was a different color other than Black.

The reviews were so great for Duane Park we decided to go but be careful which show you book! The place itself is beautiful, the food is great and service is lovely and the singer for the Lady Lamore Show was incredible but he only sang 2 songs and the rest was a really stupid murder mystery type play with a few burlesque numbers. The script and acting were painful so we’d go back to see what all the great reviews are about but definitely not for that piece.

It is as billed. Fun atmosphere, surprisingly very good food, classic burlesque. If this is the sort of evening you are looking for, go!

My husband and I have been here once before. On our recent trip, we decided to bring some friends along, for a birthday celebration. This time we visited on a Friday evening. I was pleasantly surprised by the show being longer than the first time -- we last visited on a Saturday 6:00 show. The show was fabulous! The host, Cunio, was very talented and entertaining. The band was great and the lovely ladies put on a great burlesque show. We will certainly come back again!

We went to Duane Park last Friday and saw Aaron Marcellus and the Plume Review - what a great night! We were in NYC with our nieces and their partners and were a little unsure about how they would receive this sort of show but they LOVED IT! Aaron's singing was beautiful and the band was a hit with my musician nephew. My nieces loved the burlesque (needless to say so did the boys) which was performed in a classy manner by beautiful, athletic and talented women who were very entertaining and definitely in control at all times! The food was delicious and the service was good too - there were some issues with the tills at the end but our waiter kept us informed of what was going on and didn't just leave us to stew. All in all probably the highlight of our trip to the Big Apple!

So great! I stumbled upon Duane Park while looking for something fun to do for a corporate function. I didn't know if a burlesque/side show would be appropriate, but thankfully, it was! The place is beautiful and the show was tastefully done. There was comedy, singing, music, magic, a sideshow and burlesque. What more could you ask for? We were 10 people from all over the country and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was top notch and the food was great. I started with the Roasted Shrimp which was served on cheese grits and was delicious. For my entrée, I had the Branzino. It was cooked just right and had such a great flavor. Dessert was the Almond-Raspberry cake with mascarpone ice cream and it was so good. Overall a bit pricey, but certainly worth it for a great night! Will definitely be coming back with friends.

The burlesque is well done. Classy and sexy at the same time. All the performances were excellent with the flying acrobat perhaps the best. The emcee and band were both very good. The space is beautiful and the food is quite good. The garlic shrimp and grits appetizer was amazing. Service is friendly and efficient. If you are looking for something special and different this is it.

On our Honeymoon and I came across Duane park via Instagram. The overall experience was brilliant. We arrived and shown to our table promptly, a waiter came and went through the specials and took our order. Got a tasty bottle of wine and three course meal that was probably the nicest I've had in years. The show was very entertaining, costumes fab and singing was talented. Really enjoyed our night.

Fantastic concept. Great food; creative performances with hard working ladies and a talented singer and band. Drink prices are also beyond reasonable. Unfortunately I would not return. The customer service leaves much to be desired. Clueless staff and tone deaf & rude management. Besides an issue with the WAY they talk to patrons and the choice of words used, I personally witnessed too many "rules" and uneven enforcement among patrons. We have so many choices of where to spend our money in and about NYC, don't go here. These folks should not be in business in NYC or anywhere for that matter or ownership needs to make a change of management and much of service staff. Bartender was great btw. Still would never come back.

I don't usually return to a caberet venue for fear that its never as good as my first impression. But I couldn't stay away!! Brilliant night, fantastically naughty

Came here to see a show about Lena Horne, with the amazing Syndee Winters at the microphone. The building exterior was screaming Lower East Side but the elegant dining room and bar inside transported us back to the 1940's and The Stork Club. There is a tiny stage and a five-piece band off to the side. The talent level was very high, but that includes the dining room and staff as well. We had a charming, excellent waitress and the food was flat-out delicious; tuna tartare, succulent braised short ribs with horseradish pomme puree and haricots verts, a stunning chocolate cake with rich dark ganache and ice cream. Surprised and delighted on every level.

There really is no shortage of places to eat in New York City, this is a city known for the quality of its entertainment as well as its food, so finding something the really stands out amongst the crowd can sometimes be tricky but Duane Park pulls it off (Literally!!) by presenting diners with a live cabaret and Burlesque show whilst you eat. First things first: don't bring along anyone for whom the sight of practically-nude burlesque dancing girls whilst they work their way through a steak would be a problem. (Personally I don't know too many of those people so we were fine!). The resident cabaret singer, Storm, has one of the most incredible voices I have ever heard and the vocal performance complements the incredibly talented burlesque dancers perfectly. Your eyes will water at the contortions they perform and as they reduce from ball gown to tassels in front of you. The quality of the show is almost enough for your food to get cold whilst you watch, almost. The food, is superb. If you want an easy measure of a restaurant, judge them on their steak, and the tenderloin of beef was cooked to perfection, it simply melted in the mouth. Served with potato gratin, tenderstem and wild mushroom sauce the dish was elegant simplicity that showed off the quality of the meat and its cooking. Those around the table were all very impressed with their own entrees, particularly the fillet of Branzino. The entree followed a starter of duck breast salad. This was a light teaser with excellently cooked, moist duck breast that left me eager for my entree to arrive. For dessert, a rich, moist chocolate cake finished off a superb meal. All of this for $99, plus a good wine selection. I wouldn't suggest you take your grandmother or your first date, but otherwise this is a truly fantastic choice for a night of superb food and sophisticated entertainment.

What a fantastic night! Everyone at Duane Park were genuinely warm and welcoming. Perfectly mixed cocktails at the bar, excellent food and a show reminiscent of a Montmatre review. Actually, that doesn't do Duane Park any justice - the Moulin Rouge has nothing as good as this!

I don't know where to start, so I will sum it up in just a few words...... Fantastic, Classy, Entertaining, Sexy, Mature. It is the best place to celebrate your birthday with friends or just for an intimate dinner. You must, must, must experience an evening at Duane Park NYC and see for your self. You will not be disappointed!

Very entertaining and perfect to celebrate a Birthday. Great time had by all. The food was delicious too

Came here for my birthday. There were 8 of us total. The food was solid. The drinks were great. Service was lovely. The shows / acts were all terrific. I would recommend this place as a must do in NYC! Smiles all around.

We did the Sunday 6pm dinner and show. Fabulous dinner followed by an evening of classic burlesque accompanied by an incredible live singer. Would return in a heartbeat - a must do in NYC! Left feeling loved by the Duane Park staff who are the nicest people you will meet in NYC!

Duane Park is pricey, even with the help of groupon. The band is truly talented, the MC/singer was good, just good. The service was very good, attentive without hovering. Being that we used a voucher we had to order from the tasting menu. Not many tasty options. We ordered a side of the macaroni and cheese with truffle oil to ensure that out appetites were truly satisfied, I'm so glad we did. It made up for the semi small plates, and was quite good. The drinks were good and had just enough kick. The show itself rotated between two dancers. Both were good, however, I felt like there could have been more. The singer was good but better in mariachi style (Tres Leches night).

I took my wife here for her birthday and we had a terrific time. We went for the unique experience of seeing a classy burlesque performance, but we were very pleasantly surprised to find that the dinner was first rate! We had the fish special and the tenderloin, and the appetizers, entrees, and desserts were all delicious. The specialty drinks offered were well made and presented. The service was fantastic. Our server Nathaniel was friendly and highly attentive. Then, as the dining portion was ending, the performance began. The mistress of ceremonies was a wonderful singer and engaging personality. All of the performers were great. The performance venue itself was very richly appointed and suited the entertainers and performances perfectly. All in all it was a truly memorable night in the city!

I went here on a Wednesday Night with 8 friends. The place inside is very very beautiful, I was impressed with the table set up. Our server was fantastic, took the time to explain the menu. I thought the food was amazing from the appetizer to the dessert. The show was just GREAT!!!I loved it, the MC was spectacular SOFIA URISTA. WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE!!!! all the burlesque girls where just stunningly beautiful and performed incredible!!!Loved it all, will definitely be going back.

We visited as a party of 8 for a Bachelorette party and what fun it was. First time for us all. Cute and quaint!! Dinner was amazing, drinks were wonderful. The band was awesome and the performers were excellent! Be prepared for a 3 hour affair but it's so worth it. Can't wait to visit NYC again and come back!

Get rid of your preconcieved notions, the food here is top rate and the show is tasteful and excellent. We went to the late show. So the show kicks off with the Master of Ceremonies, Mr AbraCadabra, he keeps it moving a long. Storm opens up the show with her great voice and will be singing all the numbers and boy can she sing. This is a burlesque show and the girls are great at their craft. The dancing is erotic but tasteful and the show on our night was accompanied by a sword swallower and a trapeeze artist, not sure really what to call this but two ribbons dangling from the ceiling while she does her areial act. It is hard for me to describe it all but the show is great. Food, we had a variety at our table, I got the ceviece which was wonderful, one of our party had the Shrimp and Cheese Grits which she loved, we also had the smoked salmon pretzal crusted cheese cake. So it may sound strange but you want be disappointed if you get this tasty appetizer. I had the duck for dinner and it was prepared very well, many times duck seems to be very greasy but this wasn't and had great flavor, the others had the roasted chicken and all said it was delicious. Dessert, Chocolate Cake got a big thumbs up, I had the rhubarb, blackberry pastry that was excellent, the other two of our party had cheesecake and I can only say that not one morsel escaped their lips. This is really a nice place give it a try.

Excellent place to take friends for birthdays or engagement celebrations. The show is high-caliber talent. The food is great, even if you are picky like me - pescetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free. Our waiter knew the menu inside and out from an allergy perspective. Classy burlesque show. I'm excited to go back.

Attentive staff. Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Entertainment was excellent. Host has s fabulous voice. We booked this trip from the UK and didn't know what to expect. We were not disappointed .

Great Date Night out in NYC! The band is amazing, the dancers are wonderful, AND I always love the food here. The emcee,Cunio, has songs on itunes so you can check him out...very powerful voice! An expensive night out but well worth it! Favorite dishes: tuna tartare app, branzino or steak entree, chocolate dessert with American Drip Coffee!

I brought my husband here for a fun night out and they did not disappoint!!! We were seated at a smaller two top but the lovely Mgr moved us to a round top in the corner with a bit better view of the stage. We are tall & fit men so the roomier table was a welcome treat! The venue had a super cool, chic vibe with high ceilings, mostly white with some blue walls. The waiter was friendly, professional, & courteous. The food & drinks were delicious but, of course, the highlight was the entertainment. We had an AMAZING male singer and 4 GORGEOUS burlesque dancers. Another diva joined in & sang a duet which was fantastic. The entire experience was a night to remember. If you’re looking for a FABULOUS NYC night out, this is the place to go. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The food and staff are amazing... The burlesque show was fabulous! This is definetly a place you must visit when in New York!!

As it should be from top to bottom. Tame and tasteful. Gorgeous girls perform in proper fashion, spin their tassles and provide tasteful sexy. Excellent singer and perfect ambiance Makes this show a go go go for guys and gals. Food was good, cocktails were excellent. Service A+ Definitely worth a look.

Incredibly rude management and staff. The food is overpriced as it is, and then they have the nerve to double-charge my friend's credit card without caring or trying to rectify the situation. Save your time and money and go to one of the other much, much better restaurants in this city.

There are some things in N.Y. that make you really remember why this is such a great city, and Duane Park is one of them! This sexy, luxuriously and tastefully sinful caberet supper club is a gem. Murray Hill and the gang sure do know how to treat a lady to a good time! Make sure to come hungry and leave feeling very randy, indeed. The only complaint? No champagne menu! This seems like a real misstep in a place that obviously has a number of celebrations going on and the audience to appreciate it...maybe this will change soon? Not too big of a deal though, I seemed to devour plenty of other libations to make up for it! Get dressed up be ready to be fabulously entertained!

A classy adult evening starting with dinner right through to the end of the entertainment and not your typical family dinner/show. Groupon gave us another different experience that included 3 courses and show. Dinner was delicious and upscale comparable to any fine dining restaurant, as well as, that night’s entertainment that had a little bit of vaudeville mixed with the talented and beautiful female dancers. This is not your typical gentlemen’s club where the dancers don’t dance for tips but done tastefully that do not offend female guests which they filled half the room the night we were there. Before making reservations should check the calendar as a different show performs different nights and weekends. We arrived just be 7:30 PM for the start of dinner seating and noticed dinners continued to arrive throughout until the start of the show at 9:00 PM. This is not a very large room with tables set around a small stage against the right wall and noticed the later you arrive the further away you were seated from the stage. The wait staff was friendly and attentive to each guest. There is a bar lounge on site to enjoy pre and post show cocktails.

Fun, a tiny vulgar, a tiny beautiful, a tiny funny, a tiny woman thinking she is a man, a tiny smile, a tiny posh, a tiny expensive, a tiny touristic, a tiny beauty undressing followed by a big beauty undressing, a tiny suave voice, and a tiny attitude, a tiny opp to win a bottle of champagne. A good jazz band, a good dinner, a good cheer, a good array of people, a good evening, a good place for a tiny evening. I enjoyed it pretty much, i ended up on stage as a favourite, everyone seems pretty happy to me! Enjoy

Good food, good service and an elegant environment but most importantly the acts at Duane Park are superb - the MC held the audience with her magnificent voice, beauty and humour and the five acts provided wonderful experiences - they brought sexiness, entertainment and empowerment to their performances - not cheap but not a rip off either - a great way to spend a Saturday night - highly recommended!

I expected the place to feel like "broadwalk empire", but it was not.There was some 1920's talent. Our waitress Abott. The background singer was amazing. She walked through the crowd with passion. The food was great. The band was amazing and they never really put any focus on them. The show was a female strip club, and I wasn't looking for that. I would have loved an entertaining comedian or a host to talk us through and bring us back to that scene. So great potential!!!

We visited last Friday evening when "Plume Review" was showing and I thought it was worth every penny. Probably the worst thing about it was our table location- right by the door to the kitchen so that every single waiter in the place walked right by us, constantly, all night. We love live music, so being right by the band was a plus for us, but because of the kitchen and constant traffic it has to be the worst seat in the house. Oh well! I really enjoyed the MC. I cannot remember her name, but she was stunning and talented. One of the songs she performed was "Tell Me Something Good" and her version stood up well against Chaka Khan's version we'd heard the previous weekend in Macon, GA! So, we're talking talent. The performing ladies were all amazing and the band was wonderful. Your entire dinner order is taken at the before the show and I got both specials- the app was a crab, avacado, and chickpea salad, and the entree was some kind of fish with white asparagus. Both were much better than you'd expect for a "dinner theater". I'd go back in a heartbeat.

My girlfriends and I went to Duane Park on Friday night for dinner and the show. The dining area is intimate and there are probably on ~20 tables with varying sized parties. We were seated right next to the stage. The food was delicious and the service was great. The waiter made sure we had what we needed all night long. Cunio was hosting and he did a great job capturing the attention of the audience and had an amazing voice. I loved that there was a live band with Cunio singing throughout the night. The actual burlesque show was also great. I have never been to a burlesque show so I did not know what to expect. It was very classy, but be prepared to see a lot of skin. Since we were close to the stage, we got attention from the host and the ladies. This didn't bother us, but I could see how it would be awkward for someone on a date or that is shy. The cost of the dinner, show and drinks was a little pricey, but it was worth it. We had a great time.

An absolute fun night for couples. A total winner. Tasteful, sexy and amazing show and the dinner was delicious. Pricy but worth every penny. I would absolutely go again. Gotta love New York.

I hate giving this place such a review because I loved the decor, the personalized menu and the amazing performances. What completely dulled my experience was their disgusting customer service and even worse rude staff. From the first phone call with the discourteous David who took my reservation 3 weeks before my event all the way through the day of when I received an email that they could not accommodate my party of 18 at one table and offered me 2 tables, 1 table sitting 16 and the other sitting 2. Um, I don't think so. Thankfully Sophie graciously fixed the problem until we got there and were greeted by Billy the very angry, jaw extensively clenching host who decided to stab my girlfriend and I in the ribs while trying to take a picture and telling us to sit the "f" down. Our waiter didn't crack a smile the entire night and impatiently took our orders. I don't get how people let their businesses be run by such vulgar pigs. It's a big shame because it ruins the reputation of the restaurant as you can tell by the other folks leaving their reviews. Worst service & experience ever!!!!! Big kudos to the performers though, they were excellent.

Wow....what a great place. Classy supper club with a fantastic house band and singer MC. Food and service were really outstanding. Great cocktail menu and fantastic desserts as well. The burlesque dancers put on a great show that was erotic but classy. Great for groups or couples. My wife and I had a wonderful time. Request a table next to the stage. Highly recommend Duane Park!!

I went to Duane Park with a couple of my friends to celebrate my bff 50th birthday. The show was amazing something different to watch I enjoy it very much as well as my friends. Just letting you know is kind of pricey. But is something different to see. You have to make reservation also if is a big crowd you need to call in advance.

We celebrated our anniversary there. MUST have reservations! Dinner time starts about 1.5 hours before showtime and first-come, first seated. So for best seating arrive early. The prix fixe menu is full with choices. Drinks NOT included. Order separate items. Food was slightly above average, but remember you are also paying for the show. The show! This is listed as Old New York Burlesque and that is what it was. The 4 piece band played numerous jazz pieces; the M.C. lightened the audience, a little dirty at times, but NOT really crude. and the 4 strippers (down to pasties and g-string) were delightful, even with some audience "participation". I've seen more nudity at "regular" shows in Vegas than here. It is the FUN of doing something a little different in NYC

Was not completely sure what to expect at Duane Park but it turned out to be the highlight of our trip to NYC. When you arrive there is no signage. Just a door on Bowery. You go down the dark hall before you enter the club. It gives you a real speakeasy type of feel. The club itself is small but elegant with only a handful of tables. The food was great. I ordered grilled Octopus for appetizer with the Salmon and both were delicious. My wife also loved her goat cheese and halibut. Chocolate cheesecake for dessert melts in your mouth. The wait staff is super attentive, making it feel like a special night out. The show was amazing! The dancers are top notch, classy and sexy. The band is fantastic, and the host did a great job - funny and with a lovely voice. If you're looking for a unique night out on the town in Manhattan, and you're not offended by a little skin, go to Duane Park. Don't forget get to dress up and fill your wallet, but you'll have a great time.

I've heard this fixture is moving out of Tribeca soon. If so, it's a shame because I haven't had a chance to go back. My wife and I love this food and they have unique performers here as well. Check it out in any case.

I haven't been to any places like this, the food was great service was great bar tenders were great, unfortunatly I thought the show we saw was just ok. I wasn't amazed by it. I'd say the price was a little steep maybe with a better show I'd give it 5 stars, but over all it was decent

honestly one of the best dinner/shows places in town! the food was excellent! the ambiance is fantastic and the show is really amazing!! highly recommend this is a really cool spot

Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, great service, AMAZING live music and singing, talented dancers and the price is right. It's seductive in a tasteful way leaving you feeling like you're living in old fashioned fancy film!! Loved it. Went for a birthday dinner!!

We bought a groupon for the place and so, I guess we were OK with the price. The atmosphere, food, show are all average and as generally expected. Nothing really stood out as exceptional. The food portions from the Prix Fixe menu were very small. You HAD to purchase additional food or eat before or after the show. The gratuity is auto-collected at 20% of the FULL price (i.e. including what you paid to groupon, which is OK...but just cant fathom the 20%) and the service isn't nearly as good. Show was about 45 min. The dancers were OK. More of a high end strip show. They only had 2 dancers that they kept alternating. After the first 5-7 min...you are like...whatever!!! I guess...if you just have to visit this establishment once just to satisfy your curiosity, it wouldn't be a TOTAL waste of money.

We had a great time at Duane Park. Overall, it was quite classy, entertaining and different - just what we were looking for. We bought a Groupon, and even with this discount it was a bit pricy... We went to "Motown" show - the music, the band and the singing was excellent. The food and service were good... But "the girls" were just ok... But overall, we had a great time

I'm always up for an adventure. ....but I don't like to share a hidden gem....but I think I must share with the masses on the gem...a must see and experience adventure. ...from the food to the entertainment you can not lose. Got see it for yourself.

Always a favorite. Classy but not pretentious.

This is a really cool place. I saw the burlesque show. Its like going back in time. The four piece band was especially good as was the male singer/emcee. its a little pricey when you include the drinks but, hey, it's NYC. I will go again.

I went as part of a large birthday group, about 11 people, and it was a great time. The drinks at the bar were excellent. They had several different and interesting concoctions. The atmosphere is elegant and classy in the dining area. The meal was excellent. It was $100 for a three course meal and the show and it was well worth it. I had the shrimp and grits, short ribs and lemon tart. So good. Now the show was phenomenal. The host was a Cunio and his voice was amazing and he was funny and kept the audience lively. The dancers were dynamite. They were thin and thick and they were sexy and the dance was excellent. They were sexy but not whorish, It was so classy. The hula hoops dancer was great, the girl who could bend several different ways was fantastic and the other dancers including the Maine attraction was great. The was a great burlesque show and I can't wait to go back and see another show with other friends.

The host was great, sassy and sexy voice and look, she knows how to put a show together with the beautiful dancers, very professional Even dinner was tasty with good service, great atmosphere Totally recommend it

Sexy upscale dinner & traditional style burlesque show.We celebrated our wedding anniversary here. Dinner and cocktails were delicious. Enjoyed the show. Wish the show itself, was a little longer.

We came on a special rate for what we hoped would be a decent show and perhaps a decent meal. It turned out to be much better than expected. Our $90 for two coupon was for an appetizer, entree and dessert, three choices for each course. Mushroom bisque and shrimp and grits were good. We each had sliced pork shoulder with potato and green beans that was good too, although a more flavorful sauce would have helped. Desserts were quite good as was the house merlot. Drinks, tax and tip added $67. The show was a burlesque take on operatic arias. The singers were remarkably good, most losing their clothes by the end of their number. Nobody was objecting! Shows vary by the day. A live burlesque was a first for us. Certainly worth another visit!!

My husband brought me here as a surprise for our anniversary. He thought from the reviews it would be a true representation of burlesque, classy women performing in lingerie. The only performance, other than stripping, was a girl with lighted hula hoops, who didn't take her clothes off. She did a great job. We left at intermission. The food was very good and we enjoyed the band and the Emcee's singing. I gave it three stars because I found it to be a fancy strip club, not burlesque talent.

This is my 2nd visit... this time with my hubby!! Again didn’t disappoint! Food was amazing... entertainment... the girls are so talented at what they do! Another amazing show! It is a pricey night out... but well worth it! A definite must see if your visiting NYC!! Have recommended this so many times!

The meal was the $24 prix fixe lunch so one is sort of pre-determine do to be happy. The crispy cala,ari salad was crisp and slaty to perfection atop frisee. The inventive crawfish club was good and would have been better with less garlic and no roasted pepper, as they overwhelmed the delicacy of the crawfish. But the creme caramel desert was heavenly. Service was efficient and friendly.

Wonderful food with a great decor and service. Have eaten at this restauarant twice in the past three months. Both times I was not disappointed. The rack of lamb was incredible as was the presentation. Zagat states correctly this small place flies under the radar.

This is a must-do if you find yourself in lower Manhattan (albeit you will need a reservation). The burlesque floor show is spectacular and the food and wine are top class.

What a Night! The food, the band, the Burlesque show, Cunio’s voice are out of this world. The food was just exquisite, the music and the band were unbelievable, the girls performance was outstanding and Cunio’s voice was indescribable, what an experience, should be added to the 100 things to do before you die. Super classy naughty and elegant show. 💕

My girlfriend's surprised me with dinner and a show at Duane Park. Once I arrived I was very pleased. The place looked great and lively. The waiter took our order the first set of drinks came out with our appetizers, then we were on a 2nd drink and soon I was thinking when is the entrees coming? We had sparkling water glasses halfway when someone can and said, "TAP WATER" before we can say no he started pouring it into our sparkling water. I told our waiter Nathaniel or Nathan but I will call him "MR I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT" because that is all I was getting from him. Did you think he replaced our glasses with fresh sparkling water? No he pretty much asked if we will like to order another bottle, "implying to pay for another" REALLY!.... He asked to take out a picture of us so my girlfriend gave him her phone only to see 2 pics of us and 2 of himself. Asked him about the pic he said yes he took it out and suddenly asked for my girlfriend's name and told her she's beautiful... meanwhile we didn't get any water from him or meal *still waiting* show started, the meal finally came it was delicious and the show was great but while watching the show our lovely Nathaniel/Nathan kept coming in front of us numerous times steering at out plates while we were trying to see the show. "FOR GOODNESS SAKE I WAS SO TIRED OF HIM ALREADY" the food came late now we are being rushed because the show is halfway in and we needed to be on desert I guess. the bill came and we had to pay him 20% for that lousy service? I was pissed! Over $100 in gratuity for his service was very painful to do! The show was FABULOUS, the meal was DELICIOUS, but the service made the whole night very disappointing!

The food is very average. The service was good, can't complain there. The entertainment was 2 strippers, 1 gymnast and a singer. Sounds was really bad, you could not make out what he was singing. Strippers did not do anything special, kind of the same moves and tricks. Really boring, we expected more after reading reviews.

An upscale jazz/burlesque club that fits in perfectly with the Tribeca lifestyle.

Everything about my wife and I's visit to Duane Park was superb. Extremely welcoming and very attentive service. The food was excellent with decent sized portions. Cocktails were sublime and the show was first class. We went on a Wednesday night and saw Narcotica. The host was both funny and a very very good singer and the band very professional. As for the Burlesque - it was top notch and classy with just the right amount of sass and humour. I simply can't fault it and for 2 very good meals loads of cocktails and a first class show for 2 I can't quibble at the price either. Good value for money. Trent our waiter was excellent and a real quality person who made the night even more special!

Have always had excellent food here, and love the more recent sophisticated decor. The service is warm and attentive. For a restaurant of this caliber, the prices are eminently reasonable. Secretly hope it doesn't get too well discovered!

I visited Duane Park with 7 other friends for a bachelorette celebration. This was the perfect location for such a fete, or for any other special occasion or romantic night out. The band, host, performers, dinner, service, and ambiance were all phenomenal! This place is great for both NYC visitors and locals. This experience is definitely well worth the $100 dinner /show price. I recommend catching the last show for the night. This way you get to hang around a bit longer after dinner.

It would be easy to forget that I had a great steak, gritz shrimps, a proper dessert and some good wine in the company of the celebrated ladies performing semi-nude and with extreme agility, accompanied by a live jazz/funk band and a singer/MC who could easily be a prime pop-jazz star. Take your open-minded sweetheart here, none of you will ever forget it!

Other than the hostile coat check boy at entry, the second rate table, rush of a coffee shop serve, a 3 oz. fillet (barely) main course, cold brulee desert and $20 plus premium per entree, it was great. Our server appeared pleasant as she passed by.

My fiancé reserved a table here for 8pm, we received an email a few days before to confirm our booking, we asked our hotel in NYC to confirm our reservation as we were holidaying in NYC. We arrived at the restaurant 20 minutes late to be told our table had been given up as tables are only held for 15 minutes. On looking back at our confirmation email and the restaurants website we can see no where that this "rule" is mentioned. I get that we were late for the table however a call to ask if we still wanted the table would've been courteous (as we had only just confirmed the reservation a day before(!!)) We chose to sit at the bar instead of leaving to try find somewhere else to eat, we did get a drink free as way of an apology. Food was good and the lady behind the bar made us feel very welcome. The show finished at 10ish and the place pretty much emptied straight after so don't go here if your wanting a late one!!

We had such a great night here, the show, food, the singer and the waiter George were all just incredible - would definitely recommend for a true NYC night!

We visited this charming eclectic Resto last week along our friends that live in NYC and recommended it highly. They will be moving soo, but most certainly when we are back next time we will try them again. Much to our surprise the food was soooooooo good, had the rabbit and ribs and the food just fed in my mouth. The vine was not crazy expensive but the meal was pricy, but it did come with the show and was worth it. The place was buzzing and totally enjoyed it and was sorry it ended. Definitely a must see ( if you can get the Center table. To for it. The view is amazing)

Gotta tell ya...I just called Duane Park this morning (about 10am) to get information on this Saturday's show. Namely the difference between the 8pm & 10:30pm show considering there is a bit of a price variance. Well, what sounded like an older, uptight woman with an accent of some sort that answered the phone, not only sounded as if I interrupted her while engaging in her crossword puzzle, but was completely unenthusiastic in every answer to every question I asked. The only thing she "stressed" toward the end of our conversation, was that they still haven't checked their "email" reservation requests this morning, so, if interested in the 10:30 show, there is only one table left and I need to book it soon. No, "we hope to see you this Saturday," no, "have you been to see our show before?" no nothing. Just coldness and semi-abruptness and in my opinion, foreshadowing of a not-so-friendly establishment. Needless to say, I've made reservations for this Saturday night elsewhere!

Beautiful place for a date and a very nice meal! Cocktails are excellent. However, I misunderstood the “dinner show” concept. We arrived at 7:30, finished our meals, now it’s 8:37 PM and nothing has happened on stage. I guess the show is tacked on to the end of a dinner. Service was okay, caught some ‘tude from the server for asking to modify a menu item, but the real problem is our boredom level. Killed my buzz. Hoping they give me back some energy when the show starts, but I’m 33 and usually asleep by 9, so my energy is fading fast.

From the days of the underground flea circus and having tables moved for you at the Copa, Duane Park is hands down the best high end entertainment venue ( and not really that high given the outstanding diner included) in NYC.Classy up scale Jazz and Burlesque, and the ladies are neither Twiggy nor circus queens. They are outstanding and multi talented . The staff bend over helpful yet not obnoxious. Don't get nervous walking in from street, like a speakeasy, very nondescript

The service was great, the food tremendous, the ambiance a delight and the show great! A spectacular place to dine and visit. Small but great and very special. For a romantic evening or a special occasion with friends, this is the place to be in Soho. The full experience is much better than any broadway show! The is a must visit for those that enjoy life!

Upon entry the staff were welcoming, highly attentive, caring yet professional. The decor was stunning, calming, rich in sexy style.... Just perfect ! We sat for our meal, the service was impeccable, food was devine and exemplary presented, our neighbouring table was friendly and we had lovely conversations throughout the night. Onto the show, the MC had an incredible voice, such pure rich notes and songs that fit like a silk glove to a hand, he attained the audience's attention throughout the night along with the highly talented band. The ladies were fabulous, oooooooooze sexiness and demure style, mesmerising and capturing the eye and heart of all in the room. One of the best burlesque shows I have seen !

An upscale jazz/burlesque club that fits in perfectly with the Tribeca lifestyle. Excellent upscale fare. The burlesque was performed in a classy manner by beautiful, athletic and talented women who were very entertaining and definitely in control at all times! Reservations is required as there is only approx. ten tables with most tables seating only two to four persons. Three garages within three blocks are available for out of towner's and subway stop a block away. Pr-fix pricing on the meal but alcohol is extra and pricey, but you are in New York City. Worth every dollar.

Duane Park is tucked into an unassuming storefront on Bowery and that is the ONLY thing unassuming about it!! The ticket price includes a 3 course dinner from a modest selection of delicious appetizers and entrees. I had the beef ravioli which melted in my mouth and the chicken, which was tender and juicy. Dessert is a select offering of exquisite gellatos and cakes. The show FAR surpasses the food. We were treated to stellar performances from the live band, to the host/singer and of course performers including Peekaboo Point, Medianoche and the surprise of the evening, Main Attraction. I will be back EVERY trip to NYC. If you're in NYC, DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!!

Made the reservation and was "charged" to hold $100 pp. You are seated only when everyone is present, so make sure to be on time for better seats; the stage is by the right hand wall so the seats closer to it are better. Make sure you clarify what is part of the pre-fix from the menu, so you do not get surprised at the end of the show; the dinner needs to be put in as the whole order when you sit down ,20% tip was automatically added for the party of 4 + tax. . The time allocated for this outing is 3h, the actual show is about 40 min with 5 girls spending 5 min performing and the host singing and entertaining in between. The time before the show is set for dinner, so make sure you pace your self. Better to get drinks next door prior the show and after for fraction of the price at the venue.

Had great food (Mahi Mahi), great ambiance, great wine, great service. Audience was about 55% women, nice crowd. The singer, Aaron Marcellus, was absolutely wonderful. Not only was his singing top notch and his range amazing, he made each person in the crowd feel like he was singing just to them. The band was amazing as well. I really enjoyed the performers' interaction with the piano player and the sound of the ensemble together. The violin made the night for sure. The girls were all amazing and as a real-world based pale girl myself, it was really nice to see beauty that bucks the tan/waif trend; it was also great to see beauty and class from a variety of backgrounds and races. Most importantly, I inadvertently put down an extra 20 and my waiter returned it. I wish I knew his name. He was working the tables of two near the stairs on 12/28. Overall, a great night, great service and elegant ambiance.

This review will be pretty thorough so please read! I took off a star because I LOVED the experience however they NEED TO SHAPE IT UP A BIT FOR THE PICE YOU PAY! READ! My typical trips to the city involve a broadway show, however this time I wanted to mix it up a bit which was long overdue. I googled burlesque shows and this came up with rave reviews. SOLD! We made a reservation and opted for the 9:30 show. We showed up at 9:15, which was good because they seat you on first come first sever (sort of). I'll get back to that. It was January and freezing and was told we HAD to check our jackets downstairs. Okay, so I get it, the place is pretty small and the performers weave through the chairs and tables. HOWEVER, after we were seated I saw SOME with jackets. WTF!?? So back to getting there at 9:15. We grabbed a drink at the bar, which was a very pretty bar. We were seated just before 9:30. HERE IS WHERE I GET ANNOYED. They seat all the large parties by the stage, which I don't think is totally fair. We are ALL PAYING THE SAME! There were ZERO parties of 2 or 4 close to the sage. The smaller parties were seated in the back. Don't get me wrong, it is not a large space HOWEVER the stage is NOT built for those seated the back. I will get to that. Our waiter was fantastic! He had been working at Duane Park for quite sometime and was spot on. The food was a delight! Dessert was meh. I ordered the sticky toffee, I would advise against. See the photo of my bill to get the gist of price. In the beginning there was a girl selling boobie tassels. She didn't seem to care much about the smaller parties in the back. She solicited the larger parties. We never got to see the merchandise. The entertainment was pretty much spot on. The band was fantastic, the host was great although he seemed to play up the larger parties which was a slide. The burlesque girls was beautiful and top notch. I read some reviews that the girls were not so easy on the eyes, this was NOT our experience. They were beautiful and professional! Another "HOWEVER" - they played up the large parties and didn't give the back (smaller parties) such a tease. It was a bit disappointing. Again, we are all paying the same high price, everyone should receive equal entertainment, not just the "birthday parties". Disappointing. So the stage - it is NOT built high enough. If you are sitting with large party in the front you see the entire show. When the ladies perform tricks on the ground, the back tables see NOTHING! It makes no sense to me why the stage is not higher. Ridiculous! Despite the negative, I can't lie, we had a fantastic time. I just think the owners and managers need to shape things up a bit and work out the kinks for smaller groups. I would absolutely recommend going. Just beware if you are a party of 2. Check out my photos and videos for views.

Overall the food is great but is not worth the $90 ticket price we paid. The burlesque dancers are brilliant, having been to a number of burlesque shows the girls really are quality performers. Our server was also very friendly. The singer is good but his voice can really ring in your ears. I don't think there was a need for him to sing when the girls were dancing either he was a bit 'Steve Tylerish' in some parts and I felt like I needed a break from his voice. I know other people love his voice so maybe he's just not to my taste.

Wonderful atmosphere! Very good service and delicious food I paid 600$ with tips for 2 people Completely worth it experience! Thanks

Had a blast! Food wasn’t as horrible as I prepared for (based on previous reviews) get the tenderloin! Show was great, atmosphere was great! Just one expensive evening after you add in drinks! Dress up!

My husband and I celebrated my birthday. Excellent food and service. However, you must go for the show! Live jazz, singers, and gorgeous burlesque girls! Intimate and romantic, or great for a party! I cannot wait to go back. We went on a Saturday at 9:30pm.

Although we were first-timers to what is clearly a neighbourhood restaurant we were made to feel extremely welcome. The room is cosy and delightful with perfect lighting and a relaxed atmosphere. The service was spot on – attentive without being intrusive. The food is well presented and does not have overly strong or too many sauces and flavours, allowing the full pleasure of each course to be fully experienced. We liked it so much we went back a second time at the end of our week.

The dinner and show combo is great for a date night. The food was excellent and the show was lots of fun. A bit pricey but worth it, it's a different experience. Service was top notch and the dancers were very upbeat and very much into their characters.

Perhaps a review of the definition of "burlesque" is in order here. Duane Park...you can do better! You can be better! Change is in order. While never having been to a "burlesque" show I thought it would be a nice surprise for my husband as he was bringing me to the city for 8 days to celebrate my birthday. Why not a surprise for him? Well, I have never and he says he's never been to a "strip club" and I can only imagine that this event is nothing more than a glorified strip club. The venue itself is small and lovely. The food was mediocre at best (this is NYC after all, so the stakes are high in that dept.) The wine options could use an upgrade. My husband did however enjoy the old fashioned. The "background" music they play prior to the show is entirely TOO LOUD and is not fitting to the event in the least. The wait staff was just okay. They seemed rushed. That gal going from table to table selling pasties and perhaps some other unmentionables, well....this is simply tacky. Especially, considering this poor girl was nearly nude. I'm certain that members of a bachelor party would quite enjoy this event. The jazz band did a wonderful job. I would have been happy to eat my mediocre duck entree just listening to the band. The MC/singer is a big personality (naturally). As a singer, he excels. As a MC he does not. I found his language and content vulgar. And I don't care who you are, or think you are, or who your father is, it is never appropriate to bring your politics into an entertainment arena such as this. For or against. We did not pay to hear your politics or hear your derogatory statements regarding the President of the United States. THIS IS NOT A "CLASS" ACT! To finish on a positive note: We thought the lady who occupied the silks with acrobatics was amazing. The entire show could have been acrobatics and that would have be better than what we experienced.

We visited on a Friday evening. The place was busy but they don't overcrowd which I really like. The food is chosen from a set menu but was LOVELY - the show was also incredible - especially the singer/compere who had the most amazing voice I think I have every heard!

We went to Duane Park café because we had bloomspot voucher. We were very disappointed with the place. Food was average, the show was okay, but the service was bad. The place is much overpriced, the wine is very expensive and show is nothing to remember. The magician was good, but the rest was very low class and nothing special. It felt like low budget strip bar, not the expensive restaurant in Tribeca.But we really were surprised when the bill arrived.20% gratuity were already included in the bill, which we felt was very inappropriate, because service was not that great. When we paid the bill, the waiter came and said that we paid 74cents less than the bill was. I always thought that 20% gratuity for party of 2 is not mandatory in any restaurant. I paid 74cents more and we left the restaurant with very bad feelings and very disappointed. We don’t mind leaving tips, when we felt that service was exceptional, but in that place it was not at all. And waiter had nerves to ask for 74cents more. It is a disgrace, and we will never go there again and won’t recommend that place to anyone

We had a Birthday celebration of a friend as a big group. Show was great. Bad food. Very expensive after drinks/tips/tax

Its NYC - everything for everybody. Cunio is an incredible artist with amazing vocals and kept us entertained. The food was ok but the service was excellent - but the show was truly a unique experience. Nice and cozy witha good view for all. Keep it up

Duane Park is a hidden gem on Bowery Street. My husband and I have been here several times, some for date night, some for celebrating one of our birthdays or our anniversary. We have never been disappointed by the food and was always pleasantly surprised by how good it is. They offer a four course meal for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays. The entertainers get a 10/10. They put on a great show and are very interactive with the audience. Be sure to dress up, preferably in something sexy as it is always welcomed. We love going here and it is quite a sexy place for date night for us.

I reserved a table for four (two couples) for a birthday celebration for my husband on a Friday night. Great value for a 3 course meal plus the show. My husband had a fantastic time. The jazz band was wonderful! And the burlesque show was very beautiful & entertaining. The performers were great! We really enjoyed our night, and we will definitely return in the future. Try a lady marmalade!

Fun show with good food. Highly recommended night out for a date or with a group. The service could be a little warmer but overall it was a very good experience. Figure about $350-$400 total bill for a couple on a Friday night. Performers were great, especially the singer and emcee.

If you crave entertainment along with excellent bistro fare this is the place. Reservations is required as there is only approx. ten tables with most tables seating only two to four persons. Three garages within three blocks are available for out of towners and subway stop a block away.

Nice sport for business dinners, dates, a night with friends or adult family. The burlesque show and live jazz at Duane Park is a must see and done very well. I would dress in business causal as a minimum. Had a great time and a lot of fun!

We enjoyed Duane Park, and I'd give it a 3.5 if I could. The food was excellent (my wife and I both had the ceviche and chicken dishes). The MC, Cunio, was fantastic. What a voice; sounds like a relative of Axl Rose! The last performer, who was the acrobat of the performers, was the best. We wish they had more like her, both in quality of body shape and entertainment. Beautiful venue; tasteful and upscale, but not stuffy. We're glad we went, but would not go back.

I enjoyed it! Went to Duane Park for a birthday party for a group of 15 on March 21st and had a great time. Its a pre fixe dinner / burlesque show combo. Location: Small non de-scrip. location on Bowery Street with a classy, sophisticated feel. Not a bad seat in the house.... Food and Service: I looked over the menu and everything read so well so I asked the waiter for some recommendations and i went with them. For an appetizer I had Duck Confit served with grilled pear relish; peppered honey and brioche toast - tasted great. For the entree i had a delicious and well prepared Grilled Beef Tenderloin with a port wine reduction on top along side herb-crushed yukon potatoes; baby spinach and blue cheese. It was amazing! Some will say the portion is on the small side but I thought it was perfect and I was well satisfied. For dessert I enjoyed the Sticky Toffee Pudding with molasses caramel, and vanilla ice cream. it was so decadent yet not overly sweet. For drink I started the night with a British Blond cocktail but on recommendation I switched to the French Martini which was better and not on the menu. Be warned the drinks are on the strong side and therefore worth every penny. Lastly I cannot praise enough the top notch service that the wait staff provided. They were truly welcoming and helpful. The Show: We went to the last show of the night since we were advised that it involved more acts. In total we were treated to 6 acts in addition to the Jazz band and host singer. I was very well entertained and i could tell the performers really enjoyed there craft. Overall I had a great time. I may not be the most affordable experience but its definitely money $$$$ well spent.

We got to the restaurant at 6:30pm and were seated promptly. My friend and I were extremely hungry. Our waiter who was very friendly took our order almost immediately. We did not get our appetizers for another hour and our meal did not come until the show started! (approx 2-hours after we sat down). This is unacceptable service for the price we paid for the evening. The cost for dinner (x 2), 2 bottles of sparkling water and 2 cocktails cost us $250 with gratuity. The performers were good but the show only lasted about 45-min. I am sorry to say but this place is a rip-off. Maybe they were having a bad night but I would not recommend going to this restaurant unless you have money to waste and patience to wait.

This was my first burlesque experience and I'm glad I decided on Duane Park. At first seeing the $95 price tag was a bit of a shock, but I was not disappointed at all. The price includes a 3 course meal (App, entree, dessert) and the show. I went with the duck salad, beef tenderloin and chocolate cake. It was all delicious. Now to the show...the MC was amazing! He kept the audience engaged, laughing and in awww of his performance. The 3 performances by the burlesque girls were all unique in their own way and provided variety for the show. I would definitely go back to Duane Park again, either for the same show or the other one they offer.

The experience was very very good, it was my friend birthday so we decided to come here and was a unique experience, the service was great and the food was outstanding. But the main attraction here is the show, we enjoy every minute, ladies very professionals and i have to give them my 5 star for the show. Very recommend place

Really like this place, Dinner was great and food excellent, The service was good as well and the show was everything we hoped for. Great experience

Great show, small space, food was better than I thought it would be. Took my parents here and they surprisingly liked the show. You should check out this place if you are into these kind of shows.
