    Nice secret bar in Grand Central area. I just have few hours meeting up friend who works near by so it is not a lot of bar around because the area is mostly office. It took me walking 2-3 rounds to find this place but when I got in it was very crowded. No space to sit at that time so my friend and I just stand at the bar. Looks like lot of people dont want to go back home right after work so they just come to hang out here.Drink is good, confirm by my friend who is martini lover :) So I recommended.

    Only had a drink but it was well made and the bar tender was great. Great ingredients in the drinks made them super tasty!

    Solid bar. Basically a bar that is connected to Bobby Vans. Very convenient location right next to Grand Central. Decent draught list and solid cocktails with the prices you would expect for the location (not cheap) . Service was exceptional. We were a large group there during happy hour and all of our drink orders were fulfills in under 3 minutes.

    They have excellent finger foods!

    Man really worth one hour wait on a Friday night . They said one hour and it really was an hour wait . First time here ! Ordered squid ink pasta with sole fish and saffron sauce : really fresh and authentic. Used real saffron as you could taste the wonderful flavor . A little salty but ok . Just wish the battered fish was a little crispy instead of soft ... overall great experience. Worth trying

    Hard to find, but great hole in the wall for a quick drink after work. No happy hour prices (at least not at tables) but ok prices and good vibe. A little bit too loud for normal conversations, but a typical bar noise level. Almost all customers seemed to have come after work (I was the only one in jeans)

    My friends and I LOVE LEAS! Harry, Albert and Felix are AMAZING! The best staff in any NYC bar/restaurant. We come here several times a week after work, and we truly feel like part of the Leas family.

    Manhattans were what I hoped. And I am picky. Used Hudson Baby Bourbon on request. Cheese platter excellent. Should consider adding fig. Best part? The service! Amazing. Thanks!

    Excellent food & service in a convenient location by Grand Central Station

  • Review 10 (2018-02-06 - Rating: 4)

    Great bartender, very friendly and welcoming. Good Chardonnay wines by the glass. Cozy and relaxing atmosphere after a long Monday. I will definitely go back.

  • Review 11 (2019-01-07 - Rating: 5)

    Tuna tacos were delicious, steak and toast tips cooked to perfection, and eggplant parm was beautifully done. Along with attentive bartender, great experience.

  • Review 12 (2023-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    You should not leave hungry. Big portions of good food. Look (or listen) for Johnny behind the bar.

  • Review 13 (2016-02-03 - Rating: 5)

    Most efficient and graceful busser on the planet. Im not sure where they found this man, but his knack for managing the sparse table space seemed to border on omniscience. Also the drinks were good.

  • Review 14 (2019-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    Great food (only had apps) and great servers who were very attentive. Nice location and perfect for after work dinner or drinks.

    Hole on the wall wine bar next to Grand Central. Perfect for a drink after work. Menu by Bobby Vans next door. Enjoy

  • Review 19 (2018-09-23 - Rating: 4)

    Wide selection of cocktail drinks and some beers. Good finger food. All in all great place to stop for drinks but too noisy to chat.

  • Review 20 (2019-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    Has gotten more lively, less intimate since purchase by Bobby Vans but menu is stellar and staff even better

  • Review 21 (2018-08-17 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent staff, exceptional food and drinks. Will definitely have to be a staple when I am in NYC.

  • Review 29 (2023-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    Great time as usual. Can get tough to get a drink when crowded, as with any place. But great service and you always get a good pour. Food is really good too, with Bobby vans next door.

  • Review 30 (2023-05-09 - Rating: 4)

    A good standby next to Grand Central.

  • Review 31 (2019-10-03 - Rating: 4)

    Servers are efficient and bar is super close to the train without feeling like youre near the train. Selection is good, a bit on the pricey side, but not out of ordinary. Apps are doable. Stars because of location.Cocktails around $16, wines around $13-16.

  • Review 32 (2017-05-30 - Rating: 5)

    Love this gem! The bartenders were great and the drinks were amazing! My one drink turned into 4 and we end up eating there as well. Will definitely come back :)

  • Review 33 (2020-02-27 - Rating: 5)

    Best place to go for a good drink and amazing burgers. Staff is friendly and inviting. Great for lunch and after hours. After work rush dies down quickly leaving plenty of room to enjoy drinks, meals and conversation.

  • Review 34 (2019-11-14 - Rating: 5)

    Came here waiting for a train - nicest staff and very attentive. On the pricier side for the food you get but staff make up for it! Great place for a drink / bite

    Staff is seriously the most warm and friendly group of people who want to make your time there special and worth while. The appetizers are delicious and the drinks are always so well made. A go to spot to relax and talk with friends.

  • Review 42 (2016-12-10 - Rating: 4)

    A great happy hour bar steps from Grand Central. The layout is funny especially if you get a seat near the restroom. All around good service but make a reservation for a table..it gets super crowded!

  • Review 43 (2019-05-22 - Rating: 4)

    Nice cozy while lively atmosphere makes after work drinks perfect. A bit in the pricey side.

  • Review 44 (2019-03-31 - Rating: 4)

    Great place for quick bite or just a drink. Make a reservation if you have dinner plans, it gets packed quick.

  • Review 45 (2018-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    If you enjoy wine you need to go here. Great atmosphere and service with some of the best wine Ive had.

  • Review 46 (2015-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    After my day in the city, I wanted to get 1) sushi, and 2) drinks. I quickly Google mapd sushi near me and found this place. It was listed as two dollar signs ($$), so I figured it would be decent.My boyfriend and I walked in and were instantly pleased. He was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, and though it did not look like that type of place - it looks much classier - they said he was fine.We sat down and were attended to immediately. We ordered our drinks (just 2 Blue Moons since cocktails were ~$14, though each beer ended up being $9 each anyway...). As we sat there drinking, we were brought delicious, salted, complimentary edamame. As we snacked on that, we ordered a Phoenix roll, a Philadelphia roll, and a sort of mushroom pizza made on tortillas (I forget the name).Everything was absolutely delicious! The whole bill, for 2 sushi rolls, 2 beers, and the tortilla pizza was $54. I feel like this is closer to 3 dollar signs, but I guess I could see it being 2 for NYC.So my only complaints are that the price was slightly more than expected, and that the tables are a little cramped since its a small place and they need to fit a lot of people in there, but for the quality food, these are pretty forgivable.

    Good drink/wine place near Grand Central. Slightly better prices than Ciprianis etc. Shares kitchen with Bobby Vans which is a plus.

    Great drinks, great bartender! Recommend the Cucumber Rush!

  • Review 52 (2019-02-13 - Rating: 5)

    The burger is to die for, the sushi rocks and the bartender John knows how to make a drink. A cool, low key, quiet place to have a drink and good comfort food away from the craziness of Grand Central Station in GCS. A true Oasis.
