Bar Room at the Beekman

The Best Hotel Bars in NYC, From Classic Martini Haunts to Rooftops With Central Park Views | Condé Nast Traveler

"For a Victorian-inspired bar room that promises to leave a lasting impact on even the most seasoned cocktail-bar hoppers, check out The Bar Room at The Beekman. Set in the hotel's embellished, nine-story atrium in the heart of downtown Manhattan, the airy space offers strong drinks, lounge vibes, and ample seating, though it's recommended that you make a reservation to secure your spot. Signature libations include the Paper Plane, Sidecar, and an Empire State Negroni made with New York-produced spirits. The kitchen’s steakhouse-inspired offerings—think oysters on the half shell, steak tartare, and caramelized-onion dip—are prepared with the oversight of beloved New York chef Tom Colicchio (Gramercy Tavern, Temple Court). Those with a sweet tooth should be sure to save room for the bar’s chocolate semifreddo, made with praline ice cream and hazelnut tuile." - CNT Editors
