The Lobby Bar at The Hotel Chelsea offers a charming and quaint atmosphere, reminiscent of a cafe. The bar is popular, especially at night, and attracts people who work remotely. The drinks are a bit pricey, but the classic martini is a highlight. The staff is friendly, and the food is decent, with crispy fries and a good cheese plate.
The space itself is beautiful, and the bartenders are true professionals. The bar has a stunning, grandiose lobby that makes visitors feel like they have stepped into a European castle. The menu features excellent classic and innovative cocktails, and the service is great. Guests can make a reservation for a table or wait for a walk-in spot, which may take 10-15 minutes during peak hours.
The 1884 Martini is a standout, with a bone-dry taste that is strongly reminiscent of high-quality olive oil, on the buttery rather than grassy or peppery side, and complemented by earthy rooty vetiver for complexity. The drink is perfectly chilled and diluted.
