Gramercy Live Jazz Bar With Japanese Cocktails

Midnight Blue operates as an intimate Gramercy live jazz bar on East 19th Street. Guests can pick a front bar stool to talk with the bartenders about drink concepts, or claim a table close to the stage to immerse themselves in the music. The room stays dimly lit and cozy throughout the evening.

Takuma Watanabe oversees the drink program, crafting Japanese-style cocktails alongside custom creations tailored to individual tastes. Guests pairing music with food can sample small plates such as nori truffle fries and vegan gyoza. During the performance, a music cover fee applies with a minimum of one food or drink order per person.

Doors open Wednesday through Saturday starting at 6 PM. Wednesday wraps up at 11 PM, while Thursday through Saturday runs until half past midnight. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday remain closed.
