Lobby Bar at The Hotel Chelsea

The lobby bar at The Hotel Chelsea is absolutely stunning. The space itself is beautiful, and the bartenders are true professionals. Louis, Cory, and Dustin are a few of the wonderful staff members I’ve interacted with, and they’re always so friendly. I’ve visited several times and consistently have a great experience. While it’s a bit on the pricier side, it’s definitely worth it. I had my first full meal there yesterday, and it was fantastic. The burger was perfect. Even if you’re not staying at the hotel, it’s still worth stopping by for a cocktail.

outrageous drink prices even by NYC standards. This place is a total tourist trap

After-work cocktails at the Lobby Bar at the Hotel Chelsea was a transportive experience. Stepping into the grandiose lobby made us feel like we had stepped into a European castle. We could feel the history of past notable guests - oh if these walls could talk!

Excellent classic and innovative cocktails on the menu, great service, plenty of places to sit, super buzzy vibes. We did walk-in and waited 10-15 minutes to get a seat, but we went early around 6pm. You can also make a reservation for a table.

Great service and comfortable seating area, but the drinks were $25 each.

Excellent bartenders, great conversations, fantastic martinis

My, what a stunning drink! The bone-dry 1884 Martini tasted strongly of high-quality olive oil, on the buttery rather than grassy or peppery side, propped up with earthy rooty vetiver for complexity. Perfect chill and dilution.

This is the place to go if you want to sit in a gorgeous environment with very expensive drinks! While the Duke’s Martini is pricey, it will get you drunk so it’s worth it!

Poor service, poor martinis. Tricking rich trust fund kids into paying $24 for a middling martini with a garbage gin selection. Treat yourself to Angel’s Share instead.

One of the worst martinis I’ve had, and for $36. Pretty low-quality gin, almost undrinkable.

Good drinks. Great people-watching.

Service was friendly but inattentive. We have to ask them for more drinks several times. I didn't have any food. Atmosphere is very charming and classic.

Very neat spot, the bar and seating area are gorgeous. Service was very good. My only complaint is the high cost of drinks, even by NYC standards. Cocktails started at $25 and a shot was $20. It was a good experience and I'm glad we checked it out but we won't return purely due to the prices.
