About this business

History Established in 1999. Head towards the black door with the green light, on a side street nestled in NYC's East Village, and you'll discover the infamous No Malice Palace. Opening it's doors in 1999, No Malice Palace quickly established itself as a local institution where patrons from all boroughs could congregate. With groovy beats and a laid back lounge vibe, a night out at NMP is nothing short of a quintessential NYC experience. Although the beloved founder Phil Sherman passed away, his benevolent and rambunctious l... read more

This place IS the East Village!!! – I just can't get enough of the NO Malice Palace. Every weekend I mean to go somewhere else but always find myself back here. Its my cheers of the East Village as far as the comfortable, welcoming, layed back, unpretentious vibe goes, but with super hot bartenders, and kickin hip hop. Drinks are good and strong, a real ba*g (wow! very strict rules about language on this web site) for your buck. Service is fast and friendly, (not to mention the staff seems to be having as much fun as the cro... read more

Awesome East Village Bar with huge crowds on the weekends – The No Malice Palace has always been one of my favorite local spots in the East Village. Its comfortable, well-designed and staffed with friendly (and s*xy) bartenders. During the week it's the perfect spot to chill with friends either at the bar or on one of the sofas (one comes complete with a crackling, fake fire). There's also an outdoor patio for smokers who don't want to block the sidewalk. They have DJs on Friday and Saturday nights playing old school hip hop... read more

No Malice forefills its hype – last week i had one of the most enjoyable experiences, in my NY city bar career. I tend to go out to spots on a regular basis and at the no malice palace i found great blend of hip hop, and reggae, a bit of other stuff. It was pretty busy and when i looked at the bar i was a bit nervous. thinking it would take a long time to get a drink, but i was in and out in know time. i stayed practically the whole night. leaving cause my peeps were ready to go, im assuming exhaution from the dancing. Recom... read more

I was disappointed – After seeing all the good reviews on citysearch, I went there on a Saturday night with some friends. We got there around 2am, were expecting the place to be packed. However, it was probably 80% full and no one was dancing. The crowd was rather on the sketchy side. The music was good though and drinks were cheap.

"Below Average" sums it up. – I've ended up at this place accidentally three times so far for parties. After the first, I wouldn't have gone again if I realized it was the same place. It seems constantly crowded and way too dark. Drinks are overpriced for their size, pour, and quality. I don't know what everyone here found so alluring about the atmosphere - the place is pitch black aside from some lounge seats, and any time the DJ found something danceable that didn't sound like it came off of "Club Hits 2000", it was too cr... read more

Funny, Chill, No Frills Atmosphere – The music, mood and drinks are right. Bartenders are great with ocassional buybacks and there are comfy lounges to sink into.

Great music with dancing, atmosphere, drink prices and staff! – I can only say great things about No Malice Palace. I have had 3 parties there in the last year and every time I'm more and more impressed. The dancing is great with a live DJ all the time. There is an outdoor seating area where you can cool off and carry a conversation on with friends. The bar staff are pleasant to work with and they always are good looking. I recently read an article about it in New York Magazine (nymag DOT com/bestofny/fun/2007/28817/) and co... read more

Well Done... – LOVED this place. The staff was wonderful - no pretension at all - same with the crowd. Was a little b & t at the beginning of the night, but by midnight, they were gone. The music was EXCELLENT - Evan is an awesome dj... I know the general review is that it's not a great dancing spot - I disagree. Plenty of room to wiggle your donkey(they wont let me curse)...
