The Stinger Cocktail Bar & Kitchen

Happy new year

Had a great experience last night at The Stinger Bar! Jorge our bartender was absolutely amazing — super friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The drinks were excellent, well-made, and exactly what we needed to enjoy the night. His positive energy really made the experience stand out. Will definitely be coming back!

This was my second time at The Stinger Bar, and I had to share how impressed I am. I went on Thanksgiving week and despite the bar being packed the bartender Jorge (I believe he said was his name )his customer service was immaculate. He stayed calm, friendly, attentive, and made everyone feel taken care of. It says a lot about the place when the staff truly cares about their customers. I’ll definitely keep coming back and highly recommend this spot!

Stayed at the hotel so we grabbed breakfast before we headed out for convenience. Around $50/person so a little pricey for me but it was buffet style so lots of options.

Excellent service. Our waiter made a suggestion for food & it was perfect. A relaxing ambience. Great selection on the menu. Great aperol spritz!

The bartender was very nice and responsive. The service for food was horrible. We ordered food and multiple people who ordered after us were served and we were forgotten about. It was the worst service I’ve had in a while and made us feel like an afterthought. They do not have their act straight clearly and would not recommend this place…..

Great restaurant. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner have good menu selections and tasty options. The hostess in the morning buffet is excellent as well as all the breakfast staff. Pleasant and helpful no matter how busy the restaurant. You can always relax and enjoy the city when dining or drinking at the Stinger

Fantastic spot for a drink or a bite to eat. Our server, Eddie, was incredible; great conversation, excellent recommendations, and super attentive. The food was amazing as well. 10/10, highly recommend!

We love The Stinger! But the service is always lacking. The wait staff just seems brusque. Our server last night was less than attentive, and often seemed annoyed that we needed something. Also, when paying the bill, he ran my credit card, put a 20% tip on for himself, printed the receipt and handed it to me. I've never had that happen at a restaurant. Really not acceptable.

Had a table of 10 in the bar area, great atmosphere and Nick took great care of us. He kept up with every drink order and all the food. We didn't have to wait for anything. Thanks Nick!!

Our daughter lives in NYC so we visit often, but typically stay on the Upper West Side. She was performing at a venue near the Intercontinental so we decided to stay here. When we arrived we headed to The Stinger Cocktail Bar and Kitchen for lunch. Our original group was 6 people. 8 more people joined us about an hour later. Our server Neil was wonderful. He gave great recommendations and was so friendly. The food was very good and the cocktails were made perfectly.
We asked Neil if it would be possible to make a reservation for around 9pm the same evening for at least 20 people, maybe 30 after our daughter’s show. We knew this was very last minute and unlikely, but figured it couldn’t hurt to ask.
The hostess came over shortly after and took all of our information and said she would get it set up for us for at least 20 people and if there were more they would work it out. She even stayed a bit after her shift until we arrived to make sure our group was all set. I wish I would have gotten her name. She was awesome.
We ended up having a little over 30 people. It worked out great because we still had plenty of room to stand around the table even with the 20 chairs (not everyone was eating. Some just came for drinks) and they even ended up adding another table which was so nice since the bar was pretty busy.
Now for our server Nicki( so sorry if I misspelled this). I cannot say enough about this man and the service we received. It’s not easy taking care of 30+ people who all arrived within about 20 minutes of one another and he did it with absolutely no issue. He was professional, friendly and took great care of us. The bartenders also did a phenomenal job! Drinks came out quickly, were made correctly and were delicious. It’s so hard to find bars that correctly make a good cocktail and the bartenders at The Stinger definitely know how to make a perfect drink. Food came out quickly and just like lunch was very good. Everyone said how much they enjoyed it. Big props to this amazing staff. This was such an important night for our daughter and the staff here went over and above to continue this wonderful night and make it one we won’t forget. Thank you! Thank You! Thank you! We will be back to enjoy a few cocktails next time we visit the city!

There was no host at the host stand. The restaurant seems unorganized. The mahi-mahi taco was just okay. They lacked flavor. The macaroni and cheese side plate was just okay and lacked salt flavoring. Cocktail, margarita was also just okay.
