The Bar at Baccarat Hotel

The 13 Best Hotel Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"If you like shiny things, you'll like the Bar at Baccarat Hotel (owned by the luxury crystal manufacturer), where even the bathroom faucet handles are sparkly. With elegant glassware, vaulted ceilings, and massive chandeliers, the second-floor space is like Versailles, but with fleece vests instead of powdered wigs. There's a $75 minimum spend per person, which is closer in reach than you think, once you realize that a dozen oysters are $72. At $54, the price of the Baccarat Rouge cocktail might also be hard to swallow, but the drink itself—tequila, passionfruit, hibiscus tea ice cube—goes down easy. And then there's the Crystal Elite. Made with Rémy Martin Louis XIII, Bénédictine from 1920, and black truffle bitters, this cocktail costs $5,000. At least you get to keep the glass." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, will hartman, tiffany yannetta
