About American Beauty - NYC
American Beauty - NYC was a distinctive midtown bar and multi-room live music space known for its craft beer bar, jam-band programming, and three-floor layout including the Jerry Lounge upstairs. Located at 251 West 30th Street in New York, NY 10001, it served as a hub for pre- and post-show jam sessions and notable events, including hosting Phish-related activities during Baker’s Dozen in 2017. While the venue closed on December 31, 2017 and the space has since been repurposed as part of Chelsea Square offices, this page preserves its legacy and offers practical, insider guidance for fans and visitors exploring the area today.
