The West Bank Cafe, is a theatre district favorite for its fine food and wine list, as well as its star-studded clientele. Located on the historic 42nd, just blocks away from all the Broadway Theaters. The 2000 square foot upstairs dining room seats 100 for dinner, along with a wood lined bar and outdoor seating. The West Bank Cafe also boasts a 2500 square foot theatre in its basement, “The Laurie Beechman Theatre” which can seat up to 90 people, with different shows every night including cabaret, comedy, concerts and burlesque.
“My go-to place for weekend brunch and post-show dinner/drinks. Unbeatable brunch deals (seriously, show me where else you can find bottomless for $15, I’ll wait) delicious food, great service, impeccable vibes. And that’s not even touching on the Laurie Beechman theatre downstairs.”
“We loved this restaurant, it was conveniently located near the theatre we were headed to and easy to get a last minute reservation. This was the best vegan risotto I have had, I’m still talking about it with my family. My daughter loved her burger. I will definitely eat here again.”
“A neighborhood landmark since long before I moved to NYC, this restaurant, bar and cabaret changed hands after the pandemic, and is still going strong! Same excellent menu (truly the best salmon entree in town), same friendly staff, same warm atmosphere. And the Beechman downstairs has been given a glorious, glam makeover! Forever my go-to when in Hell's Kitchen.”
“I tried for dinner but I hadn't thought about making a reservation. I then decided to go after the show I was seeing for dessert. I wanted to try Chita Rivera's favourite. The gentleman at the door thought that would be a great idea. He was still working when I arrived and he ordered my dessert right away. I felt well taken care of! It was delicious!”
“Went for brunch with a friend who had the eggs Benedict. I thought his eggs Benedict was better than the avocado toast I ordered, which was very average. We also shared the risotto ball hash, which was also pretty good. Overall I guess food was a fair 4 ⭐️ even though I was underwhelmed by my avocado toast, which was fairly basic, lacking imagination and flavor. Service and atmosphere were good. Apparently there is a little “theatre” space downstairs that could host comedy shows and the like.”
