"Yes, it’s the same Baccarat known for making fine French crystal and yes, there are more than a few extravagant chandeliers in this place. It’s a great spot to hang out in this part of Midtown, especially if you’re using an expense account. The cheapest cocktails are around $30, but they come with generous servings of spiced nuts and olives." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah, tiffany yannetta
"The next time you want to pretend you’re a royal entertaining someone in your extravagant salon, get dessert at Baccarat Bar. The palatial space boasts two enormous Baccarat crystal chandeliers and an art collection worthy of the museum across the street. Drinks start at $30, but they do come with silver dishes of very good olives and spiced nuts, so it’s kind of a deal if you think about it. For dessert, we recommend the île flottante and a scoop or two of whatever ice cream or sorbet is on offer." - carina finn koeppicus
"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
"Described by Seema as "the place to meet single men"—and she’s right, they do—this glamorous, 60-foot bar at the five-star Baccarat Hotel offers fine wines and exquisitely crafted cocktails, all served in Baccarat Crystal and under Baccarat chandeliers." - Elise Taylor
"An ultra-luxury hotel bar defined by crystal service and opulent décor—chandeliers and Baccarat stemware—where cocktails come with a high price tag and performative glamour (including an infamous extremely expensive, souvenir-laden cocktail); it’s depicted as an aspirational, glittering backdrop for flirtation and social jockeying." - Eater Staff
