Rosevale Cocktail Room

An unforgettable experience at Rosevale Kitchen + Cocktails! From the moment my friend and I arrived, we were greeted with a warm smile by the maître d’, setting the tone for a truly special evening. The ambience is vibrant yet calm, with a stylish outdoor patio that adds a refreshing touch of open air and relaxation. Sofia, our server, was absolutely phenomenal—polite, well-mannered, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful. She helped me choose the perfect drink, even bringing a wine sample that turned out to be a hit. Her descriptions were spot-on and made the decision effortless. The food was outstanding. My friend’s Pre-Fix dinner was beautifully presented—her shrimp dish looked like a work of art, and the lime pie was perfectly balanced with just the right touch of sweetness and acidity. Sofia’s explanation of the chicken’s subtle sweetness was accurate and made the dish even more enjoyable. Now, about the burger—I've had burgers all over, but this one was next-level. Cooked well-done (just how I like it), yet still moist and packed with flavor. The layers of pickled onions, Gruyère cheese, and sauce were absolute perfection. Sofia’s attentiveness and charisma added a magical touch to our evening before heading to a Broadway show. Her professionalism and enthusiasm made our experience truly memorable. I can't wait to return with friends and family—and I hope Sofia is there to share her incredible hospitality with them too!

We stayed at the CIVILIAN, and on our first night there was Jazz Night at the Rosevale. After returning from dinner, we decided to pop in—and we’re so glad we did. The host let us know there was a small live music fee, which we were happy to pay—the jazz band was excellent! The cocktail menu was extensive and elaborate—really creative and fun to read through. While the drinks are pricier than your average cocktail these days, they felt elevated and thoughtfully crafted, so the price made sense. The space has a vintage-industrial vibe while still feeling cozy. It’s a perfect setting for a nightcap and live music, and would make a great date night spot too!

Wow! What a hidden gem in the heart of the theater district. Couldn’t recommend this spot enough. They have an amazing martini happy hour deal from 7-9pm which was fantastic. The decor is museum level, showcasing beautiful Broadway costumes, accessories and pieces from sets. I’m still thinking about it a day later. I can’t wait to be back!!

Hidden away on a side street, Rosevale Cocktail Room- Starchild is such a gem. We were warmly welcomed, and the service was simply perfect from start to finish. The high-end cocktails were delicious, and the city view was incredible. So romantic! If you’re looking for a date spot? Look no further- this is it. Special thanks to Isabella for making our time even more memorable.

We ran across this cocktail bar while in NYC and the vibe and atmosphere was amazing. The drinks were so good and we had a great bartender. I would definitely recommend. It was such a beautiful place

Total hidden gem. Was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my experience here. Started off strong - hostess, Sandra, was efficient, warm, and hospitable despite it being busy. Same for our server (whose name I forget). They were super accommodating of my partners allergy, and I was impressed with their composure despite the hustle and bustle. Definitely would’ve returned on vibe alone, but service made it more than worth it!

The restaurant is fantastic! The food is delicious, and they offer a great 3-course dinner for $60. The rooftop provides great vibes and views, but the real gem is the second floor, where a live jazz band creates an amazing atmosphere. The cocktail room there is stunning, the cocktail menu is creative, and the drinks are incredible. A big shout-out to Emily, the bartender, who made my experience even more memorable with her friendly service and expert mixology!

Rosevale Cocktail Room is hands down my favorite spot for cocktails, especially as someone who loves jazz and live music. This was my third time visiting, and every time I’m blown away by the incredibly friendly staff and their top-notch customer service. They always make me feel welcome and set the tone for a great night out. This time, the singer and performers didn’t quite meet my expectations—they were just okay—but it was still nice to see young professionals getting the chance to perform in such a classy setting. The atmosphere is amazing—warm, stylish, and perfect for a date night or a night out with friends who enjoy great cocktails, good food, and live music.

Really nice cocktail bar with tall ceilings, nice views (even though it is only the second floor), and attentive service. We tried a couple house cocktails (including one with mezcal that was at once floral and spicy, delightful!) and some good old standbys with a martini and an old fashioned, both nicely prepared. The food menu is sparse, but it's a cocktail bar, and you'll be pleased by all the small bites, especially the thick cut bacon.

Rosevale Cocktail Room is above Rosevale kitchen. There's a long winding staircase to get to the bar. I am unsure if there's an elevator option to get upstairs. The bar room is not large but has tall ceilings, as well as outdoor seating when the weather is nice. There's table seating and bar seating available inside. The staff were friendly and attentive the entire time. The cocktail menu is intricate and unique. I had the Everywhere, All at Once which is a take on a Last Word with a savory touch of everything bagel seasoning. It was good and had a complex taste profile. I had potato chips and a grilled cheese to eat. The food here was very good and a step above the food served in other bars in the area. The noise level was moderate. They also do live music though that was not occurring when I was here. They have bathrooms upstairs and they were immaculately clean as well as tastefully decorated. This is a nice classy option near Times Square if you want a place that's not very touristy.

Really nice and warm cocktail bar. Go inside Rosevale and take the stairs up to the 2nd floor Rosevale has a good happy hour. $15 martinis and $10 apps. 7-9 PM. In Times Square.

We were staying in the hotel for this restaurant and decided to try it out between afternoon/evening shows. Getting there at 5 was quick; they had just opened and nobody was there. The timing was right, we got our bill a little after 630pm and able to walk over to the show after. They have a nice fixed menu for the pre-theater that was nicely done and just enough food. Drinks are on the heavy priced side, we did them but regretted it a little after the bill came, but when in Rome you spend blood. Nice service, the whole place is decorated with Broadway themed photos and stage models which are fun to explore.

Swanky, smooth, suave cocktail lounge right in the heart of midtown, but feels like you're completely away from the hustle and bustle. The drinks were outstanding (had a Happy Hour martini, and then couldn't resist getting another after HH ended). The service was lovely and welcoming (shout out to Sara(h) who was wonderful!). Apparently love jazz on the weekends? Definitely coming back soon.

In a word, fantastic. It may not seem impressive as you walk in, but that's because it's their restaurant on the first floor. As you walk up a long, winding stairs you will enter a different world. Two story high display of vermouth bottles, warm and intimitate darkly lit setting, it's a night for romance. It really feels like something you'd see in the movies of old. A band playing jazzy swing-style music, a big menu of very original drinks (alcohol and zero, if you just want the taste without the fun effects after), plus decent bar food. I say decent because it's not great, but it's also not why you come here. Whoever you take, even if it's only yourself, they'll/you will be impressed.

My friend made a Resy for the cocktail room on a Wednesday at 6:30 for four of us. We got there early and there was plenty of seating and we had the option to sit indoors or outdoors. On a warm day, sitting indoors was not significantly cooler because the doors were open to the outside. We sat in our own area indoors and though it was dark, it was very vibey. If you sit outdoors, you definitely will have more light, even at night. My friends and I came to a rosevale because we saw the girl dinner offer (salad, fries and dirty martini) on social media. Unfortunately, it is only for the kitchen downstairs (first floor) which I don't think you need a resy for. We decided to stay anyways! I got the jungle cruise cocktail from their book, made with orange gin, pineapple, lemon, toasted coconut, champagne and more. It was absolutely delicious. They had so many unique cocktails in their book and would absolutely try another. The sliders come in two and are pretty small. The truffle fries were good with a mayo truffle dipping sauce The live music was a nice touch and since we were sitting to the side, it wasn't too loud. Our server was not the friendliest, but she came by enough times and they were all quick to take things away when it was low/empty. Just a note, you have to go in knowing this is a pricey spot. Ex: Two tiny sliders for $18, fries for $14, a Diet Coke for $6 and a cocktail is $21-22 They do have a Negroni happy hour from 7-9 for $15 Overall a good experience

A staple in my neighborhood, love going for the live music and jazz and the great drinks, esp late night. I've been multiple times and the cocktails are usually pretty strong and there's an amazing menu. There is also food. It's usually packed so best to get a resy!

This place is an absolute hidden gem in New York City, and a must try! The civilian hotel itself is amazing as well and this is just an added bonus. Tucked away on the second floor you are transported to an elegant and tasteful cocktail lounge with high ceilings, tasteful decor and the best part, live Jazz music on Friday's and Saturdays! There are multiple tables to sit at as well as some standing tables and then seating at the bar. I went with a friend this past weekend and we both enjoyed it immensely. They have a very unique cocktail menu and the service is truly impeccable. We loved the Jazz that we heard which was a singer, pianist and an upright base. There is a six dollar extra charge which goes directly to the band on all checks when live music is available. Make sure to check out around the corner on the second floor the blue room which is behind some curtains. It has the vibe of a private cocktail lounge but is really beautiful and worth taking a look. They have amazing Broadway memorabilia that you can view and it's a must see in my opinion-especially for Broadway fans. What I love about this hotel and the multiple bars/lounges is that it is right near Time Square but does not have that touristy feel-it feels like you are transported to a truly special place. If you can check out the rooftop bar as well it's worth a peeK.

Ordered: The Laws of Alchemy Cocktail (~$23): Reposado Gran Reserva tequila, genepi, elderflower, apricot, black lemon, and beesaw Aya's take: We were in the area and decided to stop by Rosevale Cocktail Room for a quick drink. The downstairs is the Kitchen aka the main restaurant but once you go inside and go upstairs, you are led to the Cocktail Room. It has a rustic yet modern and intimate feel to it from the high ceilings to the brick walls to the art scattered throughout. Really great spot for some pre- or post-dinner drinks! The Hero's Journey Cocktail Book was quite thorough with 6 different chapters that highlight unique cocktails in each. The Laws of Alchemy was in the "Crossing the Threshold" section. It's meant to be imaginative and playful and the commitment and exhilaration of uncharted territories. I love how much thought was put into this menu and I knew the drinks would follow suit. It was beautifully crafted, the flavors were well-balanced, and it was incredibly smooth. This might be so niche but I liked that the ice cube was clear; not only is it aesthetically pleasing but allows you to enjoy the drink more evenly with every sip. Price is slightly higher than normal but it's justifiable as it wasn't your typical cocktail. Lovely spot to enjoy some cocktails; highly recommend!

There is a lot of space here, and it is very impressive, especially in midtown, near Times Square. For the drinks, they were complex and boozy, my style. The menu concept is very graphical and the drinks are well made, and have a diverse range so you can find a fit for everyone's tastes. They are also very pricey, but I guess it is the premium for the space and the vibe you get. This is one of the few places in the city where you can have a real conversation without losing your voice or your eardrums. So for an extra $5 on my cocktail I guess that is fine.

Loved the cute ambiance of this bar. Go upstairs to access the cocktail room. I got this drink from the book they had with the AI images, it had Szechuan flavor in it, and it was my favorite drink of all time- I wish there was something like this near my home!

Took the beau here for an anniversary cocktail. Loved the vibe, especially the Broadway theme and the lovely veranda. The cocktail menu is confusing and precious but the drinks are the real deal. The staff could have been more attentive rather than chatting amongst themselves, but we enjoyed sitting at the bar taking it all in. A great place for a pre/post theater drink/snack.

Meh I've feel like I've been to better places. Although the vibes were super top notch, the drinks were a bit disappointing. I got a Play which is a play on the old fashioned while my fiance had the Jungle Cruise. My drink was VERY watered down making me question my decision on spending $20 on the drink. The Jungle Cruise also veered towards the citrusy side, which if thats what you like I don't think you'd be disappointed. Also thought it was somewhat misleading to have a negroni happy hour advertised from M-F from 7-9pm for $10 but then get let downed when they say they don't do it anymore (the HH was whole reason I decided to make a resy here in the first place!). Drinks on average were $20-$22 a piece. Some of the specialty cocktails do go up (saw one for $60). Service was cold and lackluster. Ambiance however would save them for this review because it is very classy here for a potential date night

Have you ever bitten down on a meal so perfectly prepared and savory that you swear you were about to cry? If not, believe me when I tell you that this reaction is possible...because it happened to me. The Orange Duck at the Rosevale is made with magic as an ingredient. There's no other way to explain it. Whatever the ingredients are in this dish, I cant recommend it enough. Assuming you're a fan of rare duck meat to begin with. The Orange Duck aside, Rosevale seems to be a happening place to get a cocktail too. I mean come on, its a cocktail room with a great vibe. The drinks I had before dinner were perfectly crafted and served up by our amazing server. I recommend the Dirty Vodka Martini. It was exceptional too. Overall, I would absolutely come back here for dinner and or drinks. I should also mention that its perfectly located within walking distance of many broadway theaters. So its perfect for your "dinner and a show" plans. Hope you give it a try!

Sat in the upstairs cocktail lounge. Beautiful garden like space with soaring ceilings and windows. Was pleasantly surprised by delicious food and cocktail menus. Will definitely return.

Great friendly service. Cool theme! Excellent drinks. We had the spicy chips as a snack with our drinks

Had a drink on the second floor open-air seating with colleagues. The ambiance was fantastic. We all eyed the burger but had dinner elsewhere so did not partake. Would definitely go back!

The service, atmosphere and drinks were fabulous! Thank you Alec for making our group experience perfection! What a hidden gem.

Recommend. Very nice location. It has a great atmosphere and vibe. You have no idea that you are just steps away from Times Square, not at all touristy. Nice drinks and small plates. Service is pleasant, prompt and unhurried. Would come here again.

Overall rating: 4.6 I've been trying to go here for a few months, and finally got the chance last weekend. Admittedly I saw a cool tiktok for an espresso martini showing the making of, & have been wanting to try it. It turns out, it was actually a fancy whiskey mulled cocktail with crème and Hershey. It was good, don't get me wrong. But it was not how it was marketed in the video. It was one of the options for two at $50. We also ended up getting an espresso martini which was also good. I went on a date and that was the best setting. I was originally going to go with a friend but glad it didn't work out. The place is so intimate! The one hesitation I have is I ideally want to sit at the bar, but there's no option when making a reso. I think that seating is only for walk-in, but it would be nice to be able to sit at the bar. Also they had live jazz music which was soo good. With the two cocktails we had, the price was ~$71 ea . Yeah, yeah, it's a hotel. To be expected. I would be interested in coming back again. The area is HKish which is hard to find this setting.

Ate here before seeing a Broadway show. The place is a lot larger than it seems--host led us through three different rooms before we got to our table. Decor is beautiful. The room we were in had ceiling windows etc so a bunch of natural lighting. Our waiter was very attentive to detail. Food was quite yummy, especially the steak tips with sesame oil--very flavorful. Would want to try their bottomless brunch with pancake/pastry platter one day. The day we went, the kitchen flooded so they were going to cancel our reservation, but luckily they were able to get it up and running.

Nice ambiance and decor, I bit disappointed after spending $22 on the cocktail that was mostly ice.

The venue, Cocktail Room, is attractive with bar seating, plush seating, and small tables and chairs. It looked like they had some outdoor seating too. We love a good cocktail, but came for the music. The music was great, but the crowd the evening we were there was a little too loud. We had a reservation, but we're seated at the one table with an obstructed view of the stage. Luckily, we were able to move to the bar. The bartender was great. She informed us that their vermouth collection rivals the Vermouth Museum in Spain! We started with the vermouth tasting, which we thoroughly enjoyed. As it was still happy hour, we also tried a few of their creative cocktails. The Bitter Divorce was smooth and bitter LOL. The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were large and crisp. The grilled cheese sandwich was delicious. The zucchini was fried and the least interesting dish, but it was a large portion.There was no sauce with it; it was just sprinkled with a lot of cheese.

I originally considered rating this a high 4-stars ONLY for the simple fact we didn't get to spend enough time here as it was one of the stops on a really fun Speakeasy experience tour. But upon reflection, 5 is really deserved. That said, we were very impressed with our visit to Rosevale Cocktail Room. Tucked away up an elegant spiral staircase within a larger establishment you are led through dark and intimate halls where we gathered into a cozy space adorned with displays of various Broadway memorabilia. Couch seating lined the perimeter of the room with small tables perfect for enjoying some fine cocktails. Love the fact that it feels like the kind of place you'd miss easily if you didn't know about it. The cocktail selection is not especially massive but it IS well-crafted and interesting. You're sure to find something to your liking. A decent wine and bubbles selection is also to be enjoyed, along with some tasty looking snacks. For our drink choices I opted for the "International Daiquiri", which consists of Bacardi Superior Rum, Clairin Communal Rum, Xalar Catalan Vermouth, Lime, Honey, and Absinthe (quoting here from the menu). Quite delicious and refreshing. Linda selected the "Fullmoon Lullaby", made up of Howler Head Banana Bourbon, Black Amaro Blend, Black Walnut, Black Lemon Bitters. Also highly recommended Being that we were on a bit of a time-crunch we didn't get to stay much more than 45 minutes or so but that time was very enjoyable, the group conversation lively. Our hostesses were very friendly and informative. The space is dark and intimate, with nice character making you want to come back often. Just the spot for a date night with a bit of elegance, ideal for a post-Broadway stop. We'll be back.

Quiet but super cute! Good for a romantic date night. Great great food. The service felt rushed but the menu was filling and we were sat and serviced promptly. The rooftop was really beautiful and the weather was perfect for the live music! Highly recommend for a date night

Had a girls night here and my birthday. Girls night was amazingly insanely good, we pregamed w gorgeous cocktails in beautiful crystal glasses on the second floor lounge while listening to an amazing jazz band. Then we went upstairs to the lounge and danced the night away to our favorite tunes from 2000 and 2010 and enjoyed the balcony and timelas NYC views. My birthday was less impressive. But still fun.

Amazing ambiance. Great jazz band on a Saturday night. Cozy but not crowded after a late show

The drinks are not good, the bar is trying to be creative and upscale but the munu is confusing and complicated it ends up being a huge miss as the cocktails are not very nice. The bar puts huge ice ubes in the drinks so very little amounts of beverage at a big premium cost $$$. Also, we visited on a Monday evening and the bar was not full, maybe 20 guests total and we waited forever and ever for our drinks and snacks to arrived to the table, when they did arrive not all of the be erages were correct either. I will not be going back again.

We loved it here! We sort of accidentally found this beautiful cocktail bar after seeing a show and are so happy about it. Our bartender was Emily and she made an amazing amaretto sour and the Fullmoon Lullaby. We also got some truffle fries which were delicious. And of course, we loved the live jazz band. We for sure will be coming back!

4.5/5 for cocktails 4/5 for the atmosphere 3.5/5 for food 3/5 for service Overall, I give the place a 3 stars. The drinks were good and had a lot of thought to them (the menu divides them into acts). The food was fancy bar food; pretty standard here, I had the sliders and shrimp. The service was rather subpar and a bit confusing. I came during their live jazz session. We had a standing table, the server told us that we needed to order through the bar, but she would take our first order. Once we were done, we went to the bar as instructed, and they asked us "What's up?". I told the bald one I wanted my check, and he told us to find our server. The server was no where to be found so we went to look for her behind the curtain. She brought us our check while we went back and waited at the bar. The curly haired bartender asked us "what's up" x3 times progressively more aggressive each time. The bald one also asked us "What's up?" after he told us to find our server to pay as if that never happened--I'm not gonna order anything else while I wait for check dude. Like do y'all want my money or not? I told them to chill out because I am A CUSTOMER.

Sara the hostess is amazing I was there in December and found it by accident, she was so hospitable and friendly, I made it a point to go again on the 3/6 I was in the city on business and she remembered me and so super kind, If she lived in San Digo I would definitely hire her as my client relations associate. . they best try to do their best to keep her, once she leaves it will be hard to keep her. I hope they let her know Randy thinks Highly of her.

Excellent service. Great music but it was hard to hear because the lounge was very loud.

Pricey spent $30/1 drink including tax and tip. Good vibes for a peaceful spot in Midtown, part of a hotel, sophisticated ambiance with couches and outdoor seating with a full bar. Average cocktail cost is about $21/drink at a rooftop - so this spot is definitely pricey.

This cocktail lounge is on the second floor and very unassuming, it's beautiful decor (has tons of nods to broadway, and not in a kitschy or tacky way, very classy!) and dim lighting make it a great date night or first date option. We have been here twice now- once for HH and once during regular hours. Surprisingly on a Saturday night at 7 it was pretty easy to get in. They have a small outdoor patio as well that's perfect for when the weather is nice. The prices are a bit steep- mostly $20 for cocktails buuuut they are frickin delicious, we had the Spicy Encounter and Fullmoon Lullaby (weird banana bourbon drink the oddly works). I get it though, we are not fancy people and have that beefy NYC salary so we will most likely only be coming for HH and nice occasions. Happy Hour: M-F with a Negroni HH (several to choose from) and $9 beer and wine options. Next time we hope to go upstairs to the rooftop aka Starchild! Another plus, the bartenders are super nice! Cheers, dears!

Heard there was a newish cocktail bar in midtown west and needed to try it. Overall the vibe was nice, the drink was OK / probably not worth the price. There's a kitchen on the first floor, but the cocktail room is on the second floor which has a beautiful bar. I would definitely ask to go to the cocktail room if there's space! I tried the Operatic Overdrive which was refreshing but nothing special. I'm not sure the drinks are worth $20+ but I might go back if I was looking for an elevated space to take friends / family!

We went to check out the live music and it was great. The outdoor patio was cool with enough tables to spread out. We only had drinks but the service was good and the ambiance made it feel like a speakeasy.

Love this place. Chill vibe, great libations and awesome music Thursday - Sunday. I try to come here every time I'm in NYC if my schedule permits. Will definitely be back.

The entire team at Rosevale Cocktail Room last night (May 30) was amazing to help us celebrate our friend's birthday. It may have been our 8th time to enjoy drinks there and last night was perfect. From the hostess (who thoughtfully asked the name of our birthday guest and then very personally congratulated her by name) to our multiple servers (Grayson was so helpful, kind and professional; also, one of her colleagues, whose name I didn't get, gave us perfect menu suggestions) to the band (our birthday guest is a musician and loved the Thursday band) to the mixologist (who made me absolutely delicious Sazeracs). There's a reason we keep going back to Rosevale, especially with out of town friends, and last night (once again) proved why. Thanks for giving us a wonderful experience and an incredibly memorable birthday for our friend. See you next time.

Food, ambiance, & service/staff were great! Come for the drinks, stay for the live music. Band is AMAZING!

Shoutout to the bartender, Joe! Not only does he make an amazing cocktail but incredible service and helped make the whole experience special. Between the service, amazing drinks and atmosphere, I will definitely be going back. Thanks Joe!

We came here for apps and drinks before a show. The location was perfect, the ambiance was great, the drinks and food were excellent, and our waitress, Dani, was amazing! We even got to see the Broadway Blue Room before we left even though it wasn't open yet. We will definitely be back!

Rosevale is a little jewel of an upstairs bar great for gatherings in Midtown.. The setting is very cool, and the covered outdoor balcony was a nice surprise.

The place is pure elegance and the service is superb. The offerings of wines, and cocktails, are immense. There is even a large book explaining the many, many different vermouths available. I am a wet martini drinker, so the quality of vermouth in my martini makes all the difference. The bar staff is marvelous, and Emily is an encyclopedia on the many, many vermouths of the world. If you are a dry martini person, I highly suggest that you talk to any of the bartenders about vermouth in martinis and I'm sure you'll be directed to a vermouth that will change your opinion of wet martinis.

Cute space but I checked my bank statement afterwards and saw they altered my tip amount. It was minimal and too much of a waste of time to call my bank over it but if the bartenders are doing this to multiple people it'll add up. Disappointing because I was there for a friends birthday.

A big disappointment! Decorated like a diner. Tables too tall to eat at. Very uncomfortable. Prices are absurd. $58.00 for three matzah ball soups? No bread on the table for service. $9.00 for 6 slices of rustic bread with spreads . The cod entree was maybe... maybe 5 oz and swimming in a cream sauce. Actually... the sauce was a bigger portion than the cod. Almost $400 for 4 people the food was just fair. The only thing was ok was the $16.00 glass of Reisling that was keyed in at $25...? .

I made reservations for a quick dinner and my RSVP couldn't be found in either kitchen or cocktail room portal. So I ended up just grabbing a bite at the bar that wasn't busy at all. The menu was very limited but thankfully what was recommended was good. Would have loved to have captured the full dinner experience. But hopefully, next time when I'm in town if time permits. Loved everything about the hotel stay and ambiance itself!

Fun cocktail lounge in Hell's Kitchen! We came on a Thursday to grab drinks with friends and got a few rounds of drinks. All their cocktails were beautifully decorated and our server recommended a drink that accommodated our taste buds.

This is a hidden gem in the theater district. After watching a musical, my girlfriends and I came here for drinks and it was perfect. Around 8pm it was still pretty quiet and chill. Love the interior and the cocktails were on point. Good date vibes too. If you're in the area, make sure to check this place out.
