Back Bar

Stopped by Back Bar on a Saturday evening, reservations in hand, but the place was surprisingly quiet. Located in a hotel lobby, the bar has plenty of space. We swung by for drinks only, ordering the Early Harvest and Lemongrass Daiquiri - both well-made. The staff was friendly. Decor was stylish, and prices reasonable. A solid spot for groups or dates, though not particularly memorable.

I booked a window table for our anniversary, and let me tell you, the view at night is absolutely magical! Our server, Marco, was fantastic—he suggested a cocktail I wouldn’t have picked myself, and it turned out to be just perfect. The vibe is both chic and romantic, making it a lovely spot for a special occasion. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but for such a milestone celebration, it was totally worth every penny to feel so special!

Stopped by for pre dinner drinks and blown away by the beautiful ambiance! What a clever little place you would never expect. Drinks we excellent and service was great.

I was here for the 67 orange street residency and i have to be honest. I LOVE IT. the 67 orange street residency brings alot of life to this bar. I enjoyed the drinks and the atmosphere. The decor. It felt like a piece of Harlem downtown. Love !

Are here twice during our hotel stay. First night was busy but excellent service and amazing food and drinks. 2nd time was in the afternoon, was less busy but we were definitely forgotten about.

This little bar is the perfect spot for a coffee, a snack, or light lunch in the sometimes-bleak Herald Square area! Quiet and comfortable, Back Bar has comfortable seating and a calm ambiance. The service was excellent; timely, friendly, but unobtrusive. A much more gracious and pleasant meeting spot than the local Starbucks!

I used to come here when it was The Vine. I actually didn’t know it had changed until met up with a friend here for drinks. The menu isn’t as good anymore and I was devastated to hear they no longer serve the Frose! This is the first place I ever tried it and it is (well was) still the best I’ve ever had! For a drink, I ordered a Mezcal Negroni; it was all right. We also ordered the fried calamari, crisps & dips and French fries. There’s nothing really inventive about the menu and it is standard bar fare. For the most part, the food was fine but I really didn’t like the crisps & dips. Our waitress was nice and the food came almost too fast. The atmosphere is better than your standard hotel bar vibes. Not sure I will come back here.

A staff member was snobby to me for no reason. You’re a bar in a glorified Holiday Inn, calm down. I was staying in the Kimpton for almost a week and after a long day out with my 4 year old I was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Staff followed me into the restroom to ask what I was doing. The restroom sign pointed outside so I had been confused. I would have used my room but was dining at L’Amica. Maybe ask Omar over there how to treat people. Oh, the bar smelled like weed, the urinal stall was cracked and the urinal itself had trash on it. They definitely had no reason to be snobby.

A friend and I came here for afterwork drinks and was highly surprised with the live band. It was a very cute vibe. Now if your on a date this could be a sexy starter. Since this is inside of a hotel seating is not a problem. The staff was excellent especially our sever a young lady working in the back my the outdoor seating. The drinks were that good I forgot her name lol!! We order the chicken sandwich and the meatballs, both were very delicious tender and seasoned. This particular night the bar Blacksails had a pop up in the back of Back Bar and their drinks were strong and refreshing at the same time so tasty. We also ordered the Cuban sandwich back there. I highly recommend it to share the bread was everything. Overall top notch experience A+

Bar bites and creative cocktails await you at Back Bar located off the lobby of Eventi Hotel. Laid out into three distinctive sections, each with its own ambiance. Service staff is friendly, attentive and accommodating, careful to keep track of your requests and table needs. We've eaten here a few times, bar menu favourites are the pizza and burger. Same kitchen as L'Amico, less choices of course, but what they do offer is very good tasting. There is a good assortment of bar stools, 2 person tables and spaces with larger couches for parties of 6 or more. Prices are fair.

My friend and I came here for a drink. I liked how we were able to sit anywhere we desired. They had a comfy leather couch with pillows and rugs. It was the perfect place to be as it rained outside. I ordered a desert paloma cocktail which I enjoyed. We also got some fries. Delish! Wish they warned us about the kitchen closing because we wanted to order some more.

Excellent hotel bar offering a wide array of spirits and decadent bar dishes! Service is impeccable and the staff is very knowledgeable about spirits.

Fantastic vibes, really good food, reasonable price, solid menu tucked way in the back of the hotel entrance. We were looking for a place to get dinner in the area and didn't find anything that wasn't a pre-fix or long sit down dinner. This was a recommendation from the Steak Frites place next door Wanted to give it a 5* as initially the service was fine, server went out of his way to get us a soda... but then he disappeared. Literally disappeared after serving our drinks. Someone else brought out food out, and eventually had to track down someone at the bar to pay. Really enjoyed my chicken sandwich (it was suggested) and the salad was very nice and light as well.

Great place to stop off for a drink and some light bites, can't beat a $12 cocktail in this economy... got the sour attitude and it was delicious. Walking distance from Penn Station/MSG, highly recommend the next time you're in the area.

Staff is great. Drinks are just fine. Management seems to ride staff on silly savings and rules. ("Don't use a big cube for his drink!" Don't take a glass into the lobby!") One night I was in here it was packed and the vibe was solid. The next night was empty and boring. This is an okay place, but not someplace I would go if I were not staying in the hotel.

Great place to enjoy cocktails and good food. I really love the vibe of this bar every time I go and the staff is amazing!

Excellent cocktail menu and very chill/cozy vibe. Great place to unwind after work in you're in the NoMad area or you want to grab a drink before heading to a show at Madison Square Garden. Added bonus - If you get hungry, there are two delightful restaurants next door, so you don't have to walk very far (L'Amico & Skirt Steak).

Our server, Daniel, was amazing. Delicious selection of food! Ambiance and drinks - all are on point

Exceptional experience! I took my wife here and the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with cozy and inviting ambiance. The bartenders are true artisans crafting cocktails that are a feast for the senses. Their attention to detail in both the presentation and flavors is truly impressive. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. And the music is on point!

Love this new cocktail bar in Midtown. They have an amazing cocktail program and extensive spirits list. They also have live music a few nights and week and a selection of $12 cocktails (unheard of in Manhattan). Great spot for groups after work or on a date night. Would definitely recommend.
