About The Back Bar

Welcome to The Back Bar, an intimate hidden bar experience tucked behind the lobby of Kimpton Hotel Eventi in New York City. Known for its exclusive feel, the bar hosts a rotating lineup of visiting Luminary bartenders, jazz performances, and special pop-ups like Angel’s Share (2022) and Blacktail (2024). With a max seated capacity of 35 in the Hidden Bar area, it’s ideal for sipping craft cocktails in a discreet, stylish setting. The venue sits in the Chelsea-meets-midtown corridor, offering convenient access from public transit and a range of nearby hotels and dining options.

Whether you're seeking a low-key evening of live jazz, a private event, or a unique cocktail experience, The Back Bar is designed for easy, no-fuss tickets and seamless planning. We’ve got you covered with essential details on seating, parking, transportation, and nearby lodging and dining—plus trusted partner recommendations to help you plan the perfect night in New York City.

Seating details are limited by design, with a focus on an intimate atmosphere. The Back Bar features a private ambiance within Kimpton Eventi, and while a published floorplan isn’t publicly available, the space accommodates up to 35 seated patrons in the Hidden Bar area. For parking, paid entrances are located at 29th/30th Streets and 6th Avenue. The closest transit options include the 23rd Street stations for the R/W and 1 lines, making it easy to combine a city night with an overnight stay at nearby hotels. If you’re planning a visit, consider securing seats for upcoming Luminary bartenders, jazz nights, or pop-up collaborations as they’re announced. We’ve included affiliate hotel and restaurant recommendations to help you lock in convenient accommodations and great pre/post-show dining.
