The Duplex, also known as The Duplex Piano Bar and Cabaret, is a historical gay bar, piano bar, and cabaret theater in the Greenwich Village neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City.[1] The Duplex originally opened in 1951 on 55 Grove Street nearby in the same neighborhood, and moved to its current location at 61 Christopher Street in 1989.

It currently consists of a piano bar on the ground level that opens up to a patio café and a lounge bar upstairs leading to the cabaret theatre, also on the second floor. The piano bar features a regular lineup of piano players, singing bartenders, and open-mic events while the upstairs bar features dance music and drag performances. The cabaret theater hosts a variety of musical, theatre, and comedy performances.
