    The bar and Dan have the best drinks. Get there early and get a seat at the bar. Special thanks to Natalia for making my special night memorable. We will be back. Cheers!

    Great cocktail bar! The drinks were amazing and prepared with fresh ingredients and care. I was lucky enough to sit at the bar and watch the bartenders at work. They really put in the extra effort and are passionate about their work. During my stay in the hotel I got to meet Natalia, Daniel and Gus. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the cocktails. You can also order small bites at the bar. I recommend the cheese plate. Excellent. Can’t wait to go back.

    Really good cocktails but very slow service. We ordered food and our waiter forgot to put in the order. 90 minutes later, he claimed it would be another 20 minutes. Didn’t admit to his mistake and didn’t comp us anything for messing up our dinner plans.

    Awesome hand-crafted cocktails in a small, dark, & comfortable space by The Sofitel. We were super lucky that a group was leaving as we entered. Great service & great music playing too! The McKittrick Old Fashioned was amazing & the West Side Rumble was really good as well. They had a small selection of wine & beer also. If you're nearby & love good cocktails, make sure to try to get in here!

    Couldn't rate the food because I haven't eaten there. But everything about the place is amazing. The moment you walk in, it's like you escaped to a pocket in reality only meant to be enjoyed and not bothered by anything outside. Truly enjoy this place and the service is great!

  • 4/5 Vidya R. 2 months ago on Google • 45 reviews New
    The place has a great atmosphere with dark interiors. Gets filled pretty quickly as it is no very big. Even though it’s in a touristy location, it has mostly local or office crowd. Good drinks, but as most bars in New York it’s pricey. The food is just okay.

    Cute small bar, perfect for a craft cocktail with a friend or a lover :) cheese platter was great for 2! Loved my cucumber mixture as well. We both loved the experience.

    Showed up early to get my name on the list for this place as they don’t take reservations. Gus was the guy from Lantern’s Keep who greeted me at the door saying that I was not “eligible” to be “on the list” because my “whole party was not present”... Okay, Gus, I’m not asking to be seated, just on the list since your establishment does not take reservations and according to the rules posted, the one you were pressing on me is not an “actual rule” Get it together, Gus. Please raise your hand if you have felt personally victimized by Gus 🙋🏻‍♀️

    Small speakeasy like space past the hotel lobby. Server was a delight, and the drinks were delicious, although they do run on the pricier side of NY cocktails being close to Times Square.

  • 5/5 Mark M. 1 year ago on Google
    The production and cast were absolutely fantastic as was the wonderful sets.Breathtaking show!

  • 5/5 Ulrik Hvid M. 7 years ago on Google
    Great cocktails of large variety. Good service and decent atmosphere. The price is good for value in NYC.

  • 5/5 D 1 year ago on Google
    A gem! In the midst of the craziness of the Times Square area, this little “hidden” bar is truly such a nice respite from all the noise and crowds and lights. The drinks are all high quality and the bartenders are the most personable and welcoming I’ve met in maybe all of NYC. I don’t want this bar to become too popular but felt they deserve credit where credit is due!

  • 1/5 Lou K. 2 years ago on Google
    Check to make sure they are open before going. They were closed due to a labor shortage according to the hotel it resides in.

  • 2/5 Samantha O. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm honestly hoping they were just short staffed that night. Drinks were not good and the bartender didn't look like he knew what he was doing. Customer service was non-existent.

    Wonderful hidden gem of a cocktail bar. Try the “Wonder Lake.” Wishing we had stayed at the hotel too!! Next time!

  • 4/5 Alexis H. 5 months ago on Google
    I had the salad with chicken. Small but super tasty.

    If you know… is the best quality midtown bar be patient, if you come in a busy night and ask for everything you want but be patient it’s a busy night

  • 5/5 Jonathan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Quiet place - somewhere you can easily chat, closes early though.
