“This is one of the coolest bars in the city, and I think it's actually more locals than tourists. It's such an interesting mix of people, I love it, and it has a great high energy, so you know it attracts fun people! The bar itself is so beautiful and they have a highly curated cocktail program.

The dj is always playing such fun music, such a cool spot, especially if you live off of the 1 train, because this place is in the 50th Street downtown 1 station. So sick!“

“A+++. If you enjoy and understand cocktail culture and the history then this is a must visit for the weary traveler or enthusiast. I always make it a point to visit for over 10+ years. The hospitality and attention to detail in the art or craft has always been consistent. Salute to the staff and employees of this establishment. May they keep the craft alive for many years to come! Please be respectful and patient for the high demand is eminent. 🥃👌🏼“

“We did a walk in and it was a very cool awesome themed bar. It was quite loud but the atmosphere was great. Got a few drinks and some food and it was all good. The theming of the drinks was cool too. I got the “Flash Me” and it came with a Polaroid. The prices weren’t horrible compared to other places in NYC either. The only thing was the servers were slow. I had to go to the bar every time to get them to let a server know we wanted to order food or more drinks. Besides that, the servers were nice.“

“A wonderful night of food cocktails and Jazz. This was our second annual visit and it was every bit as good as the first time. Wonderful music and even a celebratory glass of Prosecco when the staff found out we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. We will be back next year !!!“

“One of the better meals I’ve had out in awhile. Very nice atmosphere that’s both cozy and upscale.

I had the ribeye steak and it was incredible. Perfectly cooked. And for me Thai flavors are generally well balanced with sweet, sour, savory…. But the char on the steak really kicked it up a notch.

Service was great! Very friendly staff that were attentive.“

“Great food and delish drinks! We came in a group of 6 and we got seated right away, we were supposed to just get a quick drink but after checking out the menu, we ordered their booognese and risotto! Also we shared the pizza and arancini and burrata! Oh! The fennel salad was delish! We ordered their green gimlet and paper plane! Was a blast! We ended up staying there for a couple of hours! Great service and chic vibes!“

“Great drink and great vibe“

“This was the most delicious Georgian food I’ve had since I was in Georgia. Our server, Marite, was a delight. She made wonderful wine recommendations. We will definitely eat here again.“

“Popped in on a Saturday afternoon because I heard live jazz from outside. They do live music on Saturdays for brunch and Monday as well. Shin (?) took care of me at the bar and I had an excellent experience. I'm definitely coming back with a bigger appetite.“

“Housed in a beautiful 1800s carriage house, this intimate multi-floor setting features antique furniture and warm lighting, creating an elegant yet cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a refined Japanese living room. The cocktails are true works of art; the Caprese cocktail with tomato water and the matcha tea ceremony-inspired drink were particularly impressive. We shared corn fritters and wagyu bites, which paired perfectly with the drinks. The staff was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. The total cost was around $35 to $45 per person. This cocktail bar is one of the best in NYC and is worth every penny!“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“I haven’t had food here, but can say that drinks and service are excellent. Very nice, easy vibe. Gen X music played low from vinyl. Great cocktails. Quieter crowd, easy to have a conversation here. Strongly recommended if you are looking for somewhere relaxing and refreshing to have a drink with a friend.“

“Seoul Salon, as described by them, is a Sool Jib inspired Korean restaurant with a modern take on Korean alcohol and Korean foods.

The vibe itself was nice, dim but not too loud, even with the edm/club music playing. The tables can feel a bit cramped, but it wasn't overbearing and we could talk even with all the background noise.

The food was phenomenal, well priced and well portioned for sharing. We got the octopus kimbap, soy scallop with gim rice, and the raw marinated crab noodles.

The Banchan was a ramen snack with ketchup, a good palate cleanser and tasty.

The octopus kimbap was good, we didn’t think it was outstanding but it did taste good. The octopus was a bit uneven in the dish though, as some of our pieces had no octopus while others had a lot.

The raw marinated crabs were a highlight, with a large portion of noodles accompanying it. As per their instruction, we mixed the raw crab meat into the noodles, which elevated the already tasty crab and noodles to make a spicy yet delicious noodle dish. The spice was a little on the spicier side, but nothing too spicy.

A highlight was the soy scallop with gim rice. It had a great taste to it, a great portion of scallop, and each part of the dish worked perfectly together.

The price is also really good for all the food we got, probably one of the highest quality meals we've gotten at the price we paid.“

“The chili sauce is sweeter than I prefer; I'm more of a spicy person.
I did visit during a relatively quiet time, but my food took a long time to arrive. Since I don't drink alcohol, the wait was a little tedious and made me hungry.
Everything else was excellent 👍“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“I had the pleasure I sitting at the world famous Lobby Bar at The Chelsea Hotel. While I was there I shared drinks and stories with Dustin (the Diamond) and Cory (worthy of the glory). The Chelsea has so much history that it can be tasted in the cocktails. In talking to these guys you can hear the years of experience and the passion they have for hospitality and cocktails. I know The Chelsea has a few other bars in its halls and I hope to visit them all. If the rest are half as good as The Lobby Bar then its going to be an amazing adventure.

Here's what I had:

15 Minutes of Fame - This citrusy cocktail mixes tequila, rhum, mango brandy with guava and a rosato aperitivo all washed through whey for a silky smooth texture and flavor. Washed just enough to make it smooth without taking the personality from the spirits.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Edie 67 -If you get this drink ask about Edie Sedgwick for the extra appreciation of the cocktails design. Good Lord, so much flavor. This taste like it came right out of a Big Green Egg or a Komodo Joe. Slightly spicy, quite smoky and a bit fruity. This is an amazing drink. Also when you get a chance look up Edie Sedgwick. Shes the inspiration for this cocktail and her story is amazing. Mezcal, Lapsang Tea, Mezcal, gochujang honey with a bit of raspberry this all works together so well. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Viva Superstar- Gin, Cachaca, passion fruit, whey blanc de blanc. Silk smooth milk punch but not bland or quite. The addition of the Blanc Champagne takes this cocktail into French 75 and Porn Star Martini spaces. Delicious and refreshing. Very well done and well prevented. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Hundredth Universe - This is a great starter cocktail or a great ender cocktail (until the next spot for me). Its basically a mango 🥭 high ball with great texture. This screams flavor. It straddles the line between high ball and Collins. Delicious and an easy go to for the non-adventurous. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The 1884 Martini- Bone chilling cold and the essence of orange. This is one of those drinks that classic for a reason. Gin martinis with blanc vermouth is top tier. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“If it ain’t broke, don’t tell me what time it is. Because I’m probably late for work. Wait, I don’t work and use daddy’s money. Nice drinks“

“I've been there as a customer and had a lovely time. And I sang a few sets there on Monday. What a ball!! Highly recommend ❤️“

“San Sabino in New York gets a solid 4 out of 5 from me. The food was tasty and fresh and compared to their sister restaurant is definitely more fish forward. I made a point to try some of their most popular dishes. The lobster ravioli was flavorful and well executed. The cheese appetizer was balanced and nicely presented, though I would probably pass on it next time. The star of the night was the spicy tuna appetizer, which really stood out in both flavor and texture. The decor is beautiful and creates a great atmosphere, and the service was friendly throughout the meal. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.“

“The Hottest bar in town for obvious reasons 🔥🔥

Enter the sanctum, vibes as strong as their drinks.
The eclectic bar munchies aren’t to be ignored, neither is the maître D who runs a tight ship to get you on the A list & into the best seat. The whole team choreographs multiple fire shows nightly while dulling out dry ice laden goblets of goodness.
The James Beard of bars!!
Indeed a true paradise lost 🌴🏄🏽 👹
You MUST go!! but enter @ your own risk.

Mention my name you’ll get a good seat😉“

“Welcome to a cocktail bar that's perfect for everyone! Picture a dark, sleek space that's dimly lit and stylish, creating a cozy atmosphere. Enjoy excellent drinks served up without any fuss our drink menu has something for everyone!“

“THREE MATCHA FLAVORED DRINKS? I'm sat. Garnishes great. Server nice , she gave me outfit suggestions. Fries mid but whatever it's fries. Yummy Asian themed drinks. However I wouldn't suggest trying a bunch of different cocktails otherwise all the different liquors and flavoring gonna be some Harry Potter cauldron in yo gut. Stick with one drink and have four. Otherwise if u want a variety I'm not stopping you but I'd keep it within the same lane“

“Best New cocktail bar . Sleek cool, hidden. Cocktails are 🔥. If you listen to what goes in to the research and making of these cocktails its amazing.
The food is great as well. The chicken sliders and truffle toast are my favorite.
The space is cozy, romantic and good for small groups. The bar has about 5 to 6 seats and perfect to watch the magic.
Hemant the bev dir and Sahil behind the bar have really elevated the cocktails here. The reimagined classics are 🔥“
