Untapped CitiesApril 19, 2016There are plenty of reading nooks and crannies in Beekman Bar & Books, plush, intimate library bar, which also contains a humidor for those wanting to enjoy a cigar. Read more
The Corcoran GroupMarch 18, 2011A quiet and classy bar with an amazing selection of Scotch. Enjoy your drink while watching James Bond movies, and intermittently sneak off to the cigar room.
JC EarleDecember 25, 2012This place is great if you're a literary nerd (like myself) who likes to get their drink on ... it's in Turtle Bay (nice drinking scene for the young professional) and it's by the UN
Nathalie AnayaSeptember 20, 2013Every time I come in here for a cocktail, it is d-e-a-d. Bring a book, bring your laptop, heck, bring your dog, bc no one is here to complain.
ilka essNovember 12, 2012Amazing atmosphere, amazing service, the best pinot noir, amazing cognac, try the cheese & charcuterie platter.
Village VoiceNovember 11, 2011Winner of Best Whiskey Bar in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Get a flight, and hang in the backroom cigar bar!
Martin S.January 14, 2015Very, very espionage-y. Almost feels like it could be in Vienna or some place. Including the random Russians looking at you when you tell KGB jokes not-so-softly.
chinoJune 28, 2013Nice spot, very classy! But cigar smoking is in the back room only and you can only drink beer!
Ross JosephOctober 26, 2011Max's cigars in back is a cute little room with great atmosphere. Great port wine too.
Mark GazdikAugust 31, 2011Watch the skimpy pour. Tried a 3oz "tour" of 6 scotches which were not only well short of a full pour, we swear it was watered down samples.
JenniferJune 17, 2010This place is known for the Scotch selection, but try the cocktails. They'll knock your socks off.
Paul MolluzzoJanuary 8, 2011Try the Mint Julep. Just like the Kentucky Derby, with less horse shit on the floor.
Robert StevensonMarch 9, 2013Disappointing, music too loud, poor service and weak drinks, a shame. Head to Cigar Inn instead if in Midtown West or the honorable Lexington bar and Books.
