Madame X

Madame X is a bar and lounge on West Houston Street in Greenwich Village, with a nightlife setting shaped by plush lounge areas, creative cocktails and an open-minded approach to hospitality. The venue is designed as a social space for drinks, conversation and dancing, making it suited to adult evenings that can shift from relaxed happy hour gatherings into a livelier late-night atmosphere.

The venue occupies two floors and includes two bars, giving the space several distinct areas for groups and smaller gatherings. A concealed patio adds an outdoor element, while the interior lounges provide a more intimate setting for cocktails. On Friday and Saturday nights, a DJ brings a dance-focused format to the venue, adding a stronger late-night energy without changing its lounge character.

Madame X also caters to celebrations and private events. Party arrangements are intended to be straightforward, with entertainment options that can include burlesque performers, go-go dancers, drag queens, tarot readers and magicians. These additions give event organisers scope to shape an evening around performance and nightlife rather than a conventional sit-down meal.

The venue welcomes an adult crowd and presents itself as a safe space for New Yorkers seeking an expressive night out. Its combination of lounge seating, cocktails, music, dancing and event possibilities suits friends meeting for drinks, groups marking a celebration and visitors looking for a later evening in the city. For Whitsundays travellers exploring New York nightlife, Madame X offers a distinctly urban bar experience rather than a restaurant-led outing.

Madame X is located at 94 W Houston Street, between Thompson Street and LaGuardia Place. Entry is restricted to guests aged 21 and over, and a valid physical photo ID is required.
