Tucked above Great Jones Street in NoHo, The Nines is a romantic, old-school piano lounge known for candlelit glamour, plush red-velvet banquettes, and a nightly soundtrack of live piano standards. The room feels like a modern supper club—intimate and theatrical—where a strict dress code and attentive service keep the atmosphere polished and celebratory. The menu aligns with the setting: classic martinis and Champagne pair with luxe bites like caviar service with traditional accoutrements, oysters on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, and other refined snacks suited to lingering conversation and late-night toasts. For private events, The Nines is best for intimate celebrations. While there isn’t a separate, enclosed private dining room publicly listed, the venue hosts semi-private gatherings in curtained banquette alcoves and offers full buyouts of the piano lounge. Semi-private sections work well for 10–16 guests over cocktails and shared plates, with proximity to the piano for an immersive experience but enough separation for conversation. Full buyouts transform the entire lounge into your own supper-club setting, with access to the baby grand, live pianist scheduling, and a cocktail and canapés program that can be tailored with caviar service, raw bar selections, and Champagne or martini-focused menus. Guests consistently praise the mood-setting lighting, the elevated crowd fostered by the dress code, and considerate touches from staff that keep the evening seamless—ideal for birthdays, proposals, sophisticated holiday gatherings, and small corporate entertainment. Expect premium pricing commensurate with the setting and offerings. Located at 9 Great Jones Street, The Nines is easily reached from SoHo/NoHo and the East Village, and is a distinctive choice when you want the ambiance of a golden-age piano bar with contemporary service and a curated menu.
