Vibes are immaculate! Bartender was very friendly and DJ played the hits, thanks for having us!
Also I left my ping pong bag there last night accidentally, any chance one of the staff picked it up? Any help appreciated! Has 4 ping paddles inside!

Bar staff are super snooty. Overcharged me and refused to communicate about it. I will literally never go here again. The service is the worst I have experienced in New York.

God damn this place is pretty.

Chapel bar has a unique atmosphere and used to have great cocktails.
However, last time we went the menu felt uninspired, much too summery for fall/winter season and the execution was mediocre.
Since we didn’t want to have more than one fruity summer drink, the bar keeper either didn’t want to or wasn’t able to provide alternative off-menu drink options.
It’s still a decent bar in a unique setting. However, the value-for-money ratio is leaning more on the tourist-trap end than established bar.

Great vibe for a date night. Music was good too

I would give negative infinity if I could because who turns a Catholic Church into a bar? I would never even go here or feel comfortable being there.

Very cool bar and atmosphere. I had a wonderful cocktail. They also have a very cool private snug/room. Ask about a private party.

Such a cool Vibe at this place. coctails are solid and bartenders are friendly. prices are high, but it's a craft coctail bar in NYC what do you expect? worth it. i would skip the caviar appetizer next time. great date night spot. low lighting in an impressive space.
I understand New York pricing, but when did we get to the point where the establishment automatically adds 20% tips to every bill?
The ambiance was unique, and it would likely be a nice place to get together. Just be prepared to pay more for less and expect their shady business practices. Two basic drinks came to $64.14.

A must for drinks if you appreciate architecture

Was brought here by a friend as a surprise visit and it was awesome. Such a cool vibe with great drinks and a super helpful staff. Can’t wait to go back the next time I’m in town!

I so badly want to love this place, but the ownership has failed time and time again. My partner and I are a 2 minute walk away and have had a blast drinking and dancing at the revamped Chapel Bar night club a few times over the past couple months. HOWEVER, I brought my family here tonight and the bar gave last call 15 minutes after we ordered our $25 cocktails and turned the lights on at 12am. Mind you, this place currently markets its close as 2am. The drinks were great, and the vibe is generally excellent but the obnoxious price and the fact that they kicked us out at 12am is embarrassing. Do not risk your evening plans coming here for an overpriced waste.
UPDATE: Gave this place another shot and it was pathetic. Server needed hand holding and couldn’t be ruder. Music was bad, crowd was worse / non-existent. Management is fumbling a cool location. At least the folks at the door / coat check are nice, but damn that’s a lot of overhead for no patrons. Place is basically resorted to farming the locals and nothing else, what a waste.
2nd UPDATE: 8 people in this bar, music sucks, drink took 10 minutes and they spilled on arrival, server did nothing to help. My LV wallet got soaked. Server flipped us the tab and it was $60 🤣 not itemized either, just baked in a “large group fee” of 20%, didn’t know just me and the Mrs. Was a large group, absolutely predatory, thank God I asked! You gotta imagine the creditors are circling this tenant. Joke of a bar, avoid.
FINAL UPDATE: Spoke to manager Lauren, she comped for our troubles, was very sweet. Honestly rooting for this local spot, place could literally be Gramercy’s Acme if they marketed effectively and cleaned up sophomoric issues. Wishing it well!

Landing on 2 stars tho, hope ownership reads.
