Zinc Bar Tickets

It’s a small club so the earlier you go, the better seat you’ll get. With shows that include African drums, we like to be as close to those healing instruments as possible. But a big brass line may blow you away, so decide what you like.

Zinc Bar is a Cinderella Story

Walking around Greenwich Village, you used to hear jazz floating up out of basements on almost every block. Not any more, but Zinc Bar is a little bit of what New York City used to be.

From the 1930s to the 1950s, the space was the Cinderella Club. The house pianist was Thelonious Monk. Billie Holiday sang there. You might see people like Mae West and Frank Sinatra in the audience.

In the 1960s and 1970s it became a late night club Tenth of Always and then Bonnie & Clyde’s, a famous lesbian bar. In the 1980s and 1990s, the space became The Baggot Inn comedy club. It was last an Irish rock club.

Today the bar is owned by an Argentine family. Maybe that is why it has an international sound. You will hear bossa nova, cumbia, flamenco, rumba, son, tango, and all that jazz.

The club is like an old movie set. It’s worth visiting for that old vibe. Whatever your Latin jazz thing is, you are sure to find a shoe that fits at Zinc Bar.

Latin Artists

Zinc Bar’s artist lineup shows the roots of Latin music in Beninese Dahomey, Nigerian Yoruba, and Brazilian Candomblé traditions. The Ancestors are here.
