The Lambs

The first of entertainment clubs. Great location and warm, friendly atmosphere. This is a private club and should not be confused with a restaurant with the same name. This Lambs began in 1874 and has been located here for over 37 years.

A nice little club to perform or rehearse in.

This review is only based on my experiences in the venue as a non-​member who knows a member. I’ve been here a few times for rehearsals for shows at a bar association I belong to & went for a party for the same committee that did those shows.
VERY nice ladies room on the first floor. Seriously, it’s spacious, filled with mirrors & downright exquisite. It has to be in the top 10 nicest ladies rooms in NYC, if not the top 5. It is on par with the ladies room at the Plaza hotel (another very nice, spacious one).
The front desk people are also polite & helpful. They have never given me problems or made me feel like an intruder. Goes for all the staff, really.
Lastly, the 5^th floor rehearsal space which is only for members & guests is wonderful. If you know a Lambs member, that person should definitely consider using the rehearsal space for rehearsals since there’s pianos as well as lots of space to practice your acting, dance routine, etc.

I am a Lamb & you can find me here at least once a week enjoying the company of other people in the artistic community.

The food is great but the company is better.
