43rd Street Cafe

This place is awesome when you want to dance, drink, and commune with your people. The drinks are affordable, $5 a shot $2 chaser. All types of Black people were there, from 21 to golden years, all genders, dressed fancy, street wear and cute sweats. They played House music and I've been there for old school, new school and Carribean sets as well. We went around 9pm on Wednesday for drinks and it was great people watching, people were playing pool 🎱, watching a NBA game and dancing. I'm hard pressed to find dancing these days. We got food for the first time, shrimp and fries, it was good, but not the reason to go. More importantly it's a Black-owned neighborhood bar! Show your support!

My husband and I were just looking to have a moment away from the kids and we came here only expecting to have a quick drink. We ended up staying upward of 3 hours and wanting to stay longer but parenting calls lol. There were temperature and security checks before you entered. The venue was an open space, nothing spectacular but clean, even the bathroom. The menu was your typical bar menu.. wings, mozzarella sticks etc but was very good. The bartenders were excellent; they don't have a drink menu, you can order what you'd like. The place was surprisingly crowded for a Monday. They were having karaoke which was a lot of fun and the DJ was really dope also. If Mondays were this poppin I can only imagine what the vibes are closer to the end of the week. I'll be back to find out 💃🏿

I went on a a Sunday. It was real clean and cozy. The bartender was amazing. She was very attentive and a great spirit. The food was excellent. They followed all CDC guidelines with tables,sanitizer,bathroom,etc. Habeebah was the best bartender I’ve had in a long time . Her drinks and customer service is grade A. I will come back if that energy is there all the time.

Drama free night life. Security tight, drinks are priced right, hookah on deck, and the food tastes amazing. The music will keep you moving but if need be there is ample seating. What more could you ask for in a night out?

This is my spot ‼ I love visiting this Cafe. It's always good food here and drink prices are reasonable. Clean atmosphere and The Music get you out of your seat💃 Great place for group outings or girls night out.
