CLOSED. Do not make the trek to enjoy a lovely cocktail there. Closed and mgmt is not smart enough to update the website. Do not bother.

Slightly disappointed if I'm being honest... the atmosphere was decent enough but you'd expect for them to lean more into the library aspect of it.

The selection was a bit mediocre, and I wasn't impressed with the dirty martini. Such a simple drink that can be amazing, yet so many establishments are blase about them, serving them with trash olives. I did have one of their menu cocktails which was good. I have high expectations of craft cocktails in NYC, and this place was ok, but not phenomenal.

It is part of a hotel in case that matters to anyone. People were both dressed up and down, so dress code is lenient and casual.

Did not order food, so i cannot speak on that.

Limited cocktail menu but the drinks are well-balanced and delicious.

Gilad Levy

a bit expensive but nice spot

Neel Sheth

Service was sloppy. Asked for water thrice. Never got any.

Bryson Allman

Really top notch cocktails and service. It's classy without feeling stuffy or over serious, which is hard to come by.

Not sure who has had a good experience here but it was not any of the approximately 50 people in there the same time as me. The hotel management left the two bartenders to work short-staffed by themselves and they took it out on the customers. So rude. And the menu of cocktails is so tiny and the offerings of spirits is actually not that great.

Jiesi Zhao

Great atmosphere, not too noisy. Hemingway is great

Timothy Meador

Didn’t even acknowledge us at the bar. Walked out after using the restroom. Try harder

Chai Gregory Gonzalez

Pretty decent place to get a quick drink and a bite. Solid hotel bar, and a pretty large variety of whiskey

Kathleen Fernandez

Only had drinks, but they were amazing! Named for different authors, I had the Ernest Hemingway and my friend had the Collette. Right around the corner from the Strand bookstore.

It's unfortunate that, depending on who is on staff, the service changes...

Centrally located right by Union Square with a spacious lounge and cool vibe, where you can always grab a table. It’s a regular post-work, meet someone for a drink place for me. Excellent cocktails and excellent selection of mezcals and bourbons.
