Temple bar is a great night out in New York with your best of friends. The staff is incredible, Angel & Mycky are the servers everyone wishes they had at any establishments. I’d recommend anyone with style and class to attend. 10 out of 10.

I had a very disappointing experience at this bar due to the behavior of the hostess. From the moment we arrived, she was extremely rude and unwelcoming. We initially sat at the bar, where the bartender was wonderful and provided excellent service. However, when another person joined our group, we moved to a table as directed by the hostess.
Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse. The hostess guided us to a table without informing us of any time restrictions or policies. Then, in the middle of our drinks, she abruptly approached us and demanded that we vacate the table immediately because a group with a reservation had arrived. This was done with no prior warning or courtesy, leaving us feeling rushed and disrespected. To make matters worse, her attitude was unprofessional and unnecessarily rude throughout the interaction.
While the bar itself had great ambiance and the bartender was exceptional, the poor service and unkind treatment from the hostess completely soured the experience. I would hesitate to return unless improvements are made to the customer service standards.

This is strictly a review on space, vibe and cocktails.
Temple bar is a classic cocktail bar in Soho. Dark interiors with dim lighting, its a sexy place to be in.
The key with Temple Bar is arriving early to grab a seat at the bar. They do fill up fast.
The cocktails were executed to perfection and I received incredible service from the bar team and bar manager Noelle.
If you go on a Thursday or Saturday evening look for Simon. Tall bartender with an epic mustache. He is a young superstar who moves fast, is cordial, knowledgeable and makes some killer cocktails.
I'll def be back to try some of their food offerings.

Sasha was the best server I’ve ever had! Friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable about the menu and she made GREAT suggestions for me and my wife. The food and drinks were fantastic, but Sasha’s energy really made our night great! Thank you Sasha!

Temple bar used to be my favorite spot in the entire city, like i went at least once a week. The cocktails are great, good vibe, service is excellent. BUT the door guy has completely ruined the experience to the point where I feel obligated to leave a review for the sake of the general public. He’s actively hostile, even if you have a reservation (which i get but don’t you want people at your bar?) he’s rude and condescending. Whenever I say I have one more person coming, and the staff inside say it’s ok he makes it a problem. I never go anymore because never in my life have i been treated so poorly. Genuinely do not go til they get rid of him.

Terrible experience. The bouncers were unnecessarily aggressive and had a horrible attitude. From the moment I arrived, it felt like they were doing everything they could to make the night unpleasant. No one deserves to be treated like that when they’re just trying to enjoy a night out. This place clearly doesn’t value its patrons. I won’t be coming back, and I suggest others avoid it too.

Extremely disappointing experience. The bouncers were unbelievably rude, treating customers with zero respect. It felt like they went out of their way to be aggressive and unwelcoming. A night out should be enjoyable, but their behavior completely ruined it for me. I’ll never come back to this place, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a good time. Save yourself the trouble and find a spot where customers are treated with basic decency.

The bouncer told us to step back when we were at a normal distance. I see he does this to everyone according to the reviews here. Must be some sort of power trip thing.
The atmosphere is nice, drinks are fun. Me and my date were very confused by the DJ who was playing trap music like it was a college bar though. Didn’t feel appropriate for a lounge context.
Place was chill until the bartender made sure we didn’t encroach his girlfriend, who was seated at the bar as well. And made sure we MOVED AWAY from her area. I will not be back. I hope your GF gives you amazing tips.
