Beautiful venue with great music, phenomenal bartenders, and overall immaculate vibes! Anytime I'm out in Chelsea on the weekends, I have to check out Music For A While :D

One of the most unique spaces in NYC!! They have 2 rooms with different vibes: A classic vinyl listening lounge and a club space with live DJs! Me and my friends had a great time here and all of the staff from the door to the bar was absolutely great! And they have cocktails all night long so we got our espresso martinis after midnight no problem!! Will for sure be going back!

Had my birthday here, there’s two rooms— one with more dance/club vibes and the other with more lounge/chill vibes. It was great cause I got to dance but could also hear people speak to me. Drinks were great and the staff are so kind!!

I hosted a private event in this venue and resulted to be one of the best ones I have ever planned. Vibes were fantastic!! There was nothing but great music, great food and great drinks. The venue is insane and has 2 rooms, which allowed guests to change atmospheres from partying (club room) to have a nice conversation (vinyl room) if they wanted too. MFAW's team was the best thing out of the planning, everyone was so nice and so great to work with. Definitely would consider redoing another event with them in the future once more.
