The 14 Best Cocktail Bars In NYC
"After a lengthy renovation, Hotel Chelsea reopened in 2022, and it got a new bar. They didn’t really put much thought into the name of that bar, but don’t let that dissuade you from coming here. At Lobby Bar, you feel like you’re drinking inside of the country estate of a well-funded aristocrat. Over the bar near the entrance, there’s a golden chandelier, and in an adjoining room you’ll find some armchairs, rugs, and a sofa nestled into a bay window. Come by for a drink when you need something quiet and upscale, and be careful with the martinis. Lobby Bar makes the coldest, strongest one we’ve had, served with an array of garnishes on the side." - bryan kim, neha talreja, sonal shah, willa moore
