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.

Maria VazquezJuly 29, 2016Love the prohibition punch! Not sure what changes are coming. Hope they don't change it too much. The classy feel is what makes it special.
- 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.
Buford BarnesMay 29, 2012Established 1923 as an office used for semi-public entertainment until 1957. Restored in 1999 as a public bar, restoring the walls, ceiling, & safe and matching the new bar. Updated again 2006.
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
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!
Tim BradshawDecember 23, 2014Hidden gem of a cocktail bar at Grand Central station. Like transporting back to another era.
Joshua HaftelFebruary 7, 2016Monks mule was pretty tasty. A bit sweet, but very interesting! Lovely ambiance.
MarkDecember 23, 2015Very nice room, but gets very crowded around happy hour, as that's also rush hour. Drinks are very expensive.
Isa SierraJuly 24, 2015Most expensive cocktail bar ever. Though well worth it. A bigger bar food menu would be appreciated though.
Dan MoneyAugust 13, 2021it's aight if you've got time to kill - expensive drinks and bad service in a gorgeous space
LuciDecember 3, 2014A must if you are at the area and want to have a cocktail. It's like going back in time.
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
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
- Petra DianováAugust 5, 2015Get Kentucky Ginger and Mango Mule with Quesadilla and start a great night at the most fancy place on Manhattan.
Emily GiglieranoJune 16, 2017Delicious "Thyme Collins", handsome decor. Expensive, loud, crowded--make a reservation to get seats.
Haven't tried the inside bar yet, but the outside bar features bus boys making cocktails. Hardly mixology at its best
Jokum Brink MønstedOctober 28, 2012Excellent place. Remember that the restroom door opens out: pull don't push - or you wait before an open door.

Morgan ConnacherJune 10, 2013Such a hidden gem away from the bustle of Grand Central. Feels like stepping back in time.
KateMay 6, 2014Prohibition Punch is way bigger than the Kentucky Ginger- and also arguably more tasty.
Andres SierraaltaSeptember 28, 2013Love this place!! The best place to have drinks in the city... Try the prohibition punch
Jing NJanuary 5, 2013The sparking cocktails are delish. U are going to ask for a refill. The ambiance is swanky and Old New York.
The best over priced bar in Midtown East. Lovely cocktail waitresses and yummy drinks. And relatively few chumps harassing you.
Sally DuForeNovember 14, 2015Best drinks , appetizers are great the ambience and the service outstanding
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.
joan leeMarch 21, 2013If you wear jeans make sure to be super pleasant, they may just let you in. :)
Untapped CitiesNovember 16, 2012FUN FACT: The space originally served as a private salon for 1920′s financial mogul John W. Campbell.
Aaron BouvierJanuary 14, 2016Pros: good cocktails, interesting space and history. Cons: touristy and expensive.
Nita DrakatosMay 1, 2013Be careful. There is a little bump on the too step. It's under the carpet. If your going up the stairs too fast you might trip.
Micke HåkanssonMay 25, 2014Snuck away place with ok cocktails. Get the meat and cheese platter, yum!
Patrick BaskinJanuary 28, 2015Cool experience and delicious cocktails, does get busy at times though
The hours on the plaque by the door are incorrect. If the door is open, the bar is open.
