Bring your Black Amex. An 'old fashioned' is $20. With Macallan Rare Cask...$85!
Andrew 👟February 7, 2014Just talk to the hosts and see if there is a table down or upstairs (inside info). They are great and the space is beautiful.
Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018A fun speakeasy with great cocktails - a great setting for happy hour or a date.- Julie SosciaJuly 18, 2018A fun speakeasy with great cocktails - a great setting for happy hour or a date.
David RiordanOctober 24, 2015If you're here for cocktails, it's overpriced, even for cocktails in New York. If you're here for the scenery, stick around; it's stunning.
Concert Ticket AgencyOctober 17, 2012Even longtime New Yorkers may not be privvy to this secluded spot. Come here to unwind after work or to stargaze (Jay-Z & Eddie Vedder are fans)
EchoDAMarch 27, 2012super chic cocktail bar taking you back in time.. make sure you where you Mad Men outfit or classic clothes..great cocktails too!
Zack SheppardJuly 21, 2012The "dress code" apparently restricts jeans, t-shirts, and bags. So, 90% of the times you're at Grand Central you're not getting in.
Alison SApril 5, 2013You can't wear jeans. Take the elevator next to grand central oyster. Bring in snacks from grand central market. Act like you're in Gossip Girl.
Renaissance HotelsJanuary 22, 2014Perfect spot to meet a client for deal-closer drinks and Mad Men-esque atmosphere. Read more
LuciDecember 3, 2014A must if you are at the area and want to have a cocktail. It's like going back in time.
Consumer ReportsOctober 19, 2011You came here for the old New York glamour, 4 another history lesson head to Vanderbilt Hall Oct. 28-29 for our interactive exhibit. Get a free copy & code for 24 hrs of access to ConsumerReports.org- Petra DianováAugust 5, 2015Get Kentucky Ginger and Mango Mule with Quesadilla and start a great night at the most fancy place on Manhattan.
Jeff ByrnesApril 19, 2013Stick to the cocktails on the menu, and specify your spirits, they go for the cheap stuff if you don't ask. You're paying for the ambiance, not the bar.- Martin KarichAugust 27, 2011If you want to impress somebody with a place that actually out of time... this is it! ASk for the Prohibition Punch and the Martini with Olives! Great choice.
Sally DuForeNovember 14, 2015Best drinks , appetizers are great the ambience and the service outstanding
Morgan ConnacherJune 10, 2013Such a hidden gem away from the bustle of Grand Central. Feels like stepping back in time.
Joshua HaftelFebruary 7, 2016Monks mule was pretty tasty. A bit sweet, but very interesting! Lovely ambiance.
The best over priced bar in Midtown East. Lovely cocktail waitresses and yummy drinks. And relatively few chumps harassing you.
Isa SierraJuly 24, 2015Most expensive cocktail bar ever. Though well worth it. A bigger bar food menu would be appreciated though.
Danielle GarreNovember 2, 2010Try to make your way up the secret service elevator. It's way more exciting then walking through the front door downstairs. Delicious mixed drinks and such a beautiful interior.
Rasha SalemJanuary 31, 2015Cocktails are great but you don't have to stick to the ones on the menu - bartender was happy (he seemed) to customize mine
Emily GiglieranoJune 16, 2017Delicious "Thyme Collins", handsome decor. Expensive, loud, crowded--make a reservation to get seats.
Andres SierraaltaSeptember 28, 2013Love this place!! The best place to have drinks in the city... Try the prohibition punch
MarkDecember 23, 2015Very nice room, but gets very crowded around happy hour, as that's also rush hour. Drinks are very expensive.
Haven't tried the inside bar yet, but the outside bar features bus boys making cocktails. Hardly mixology at its best
Tom WhelanOctober 12, 2010Come in early before the corporate crowd gets off work, pony up to the bar, immerse yourself in the Prohibition vibe, and watch the mixologists go to work. And look presentable.
Robert RoweJune 9, 2010...enjoy this unique atmosphere & have a Prohibition Punch, (Appleton Estate V/X Jamaican Rum, Grand Marnier, Moët & Chandon Champagne, & Passion Fruit Juice served in an oversized Snifter)! Read more
Dan MoneyAugust 13, 2021it's aight if you've got time to kill - expensive drinks and bad service in a gorgeous space
Patrick BaskinJanuary 28, 2015Cool experience and delicious cocktails, does get busy at times though
Jing NJanuary 5, 2013The sparking cocktails are delish. U are going to ask for a refill. The ambiance is swanky and Old New York.
Edward WongJuly 21, 2013prohibition punch is available as a virgin drink for $8, if you can't booze or are on a budget and don't want to look it.
Untapped CitiesNovember 16, 2012FUN FACT: The space originally served as a private salon for 1920′s financial mogul John W. Campbell.
Micke HåkanssonMay 25, 2014Snuck away place with ok cocktails. Get the meat and cheese platter, yum!
KateMay 6, 2014Prohibition Punch is way bigger than the Kentucky Ginger- and also arguably more tasty.
Heath GarvinMay 22, 2013Just hang loose and enjoy the scenery. A great place to have a drink and chat.
- Pippa MalmgrenApril 30, 2016I liked it when nobody knew about The Campbell Apartments. But, it's still a classic.
Jokum Brink MønstedOctober 28, 2012Excellent place. Remember that the restroom door opens out: pull don't push - or you wait before an open door.
Lisa MayerFebruary 2, 2014Perfect day for Campbell's Apartment while all the die hard football fans get ready for the big game.
The hours on the plaque by the door are incorrect. If the door is open, the bar is open.
Dave C.January 29, 2015Impress your out-of-town friends while getting a decent drink at the same time
Aaron BouvierJanuary 14, 2016Pros: good cocktails, interesting space and history. Cons: touristy and expensive.
