In partnership with Bacardi, The Duplex will relaunch its Cabaret Theatre as Wallmans on Thursday, October 28 at 7:30 pm. The room is a space where audience memebrs will have opportunities to enjoy a classic cocktail while watching up-and-coming talent on the stage that launched the careers of countless Broadway legends including Barbara Streisand, Joan Rivers and Nathan Lane.
Ownership capitalized on the unplanned break of the pandemic lockdown by updating the venue with an outdoor patio garnished with rainbow lighting, plus an awning and Plexiglas walls to protect patrons from inclement weather. Inside, patrons will find the famous piano bar, open to those looking for a chance to sing with the city’s finest piano players, or for those who’ve just come to hear the Broadway caliber talent. A flight of stairs leads to another bar and dance club featuring lights and smoke machines. The Art Deco redesign of the theatre with plush vintage furniture and lush red curtains evokes a Prohibition-era speakeasy, right down to its hidden location. (A hint: look behind the painting.)
The Duplex Cabaret and Piano Bar has been a staple of West Village nightlife and a mainstay in the Cabaret circuit for 70 years. Clientele come from all over the world to hear the Broadway-caliber talent in the famous piano bar.
The Duplex is located at 61 Christopher Street, NYC at Seventh Ave in Greenwich Village.
