    Nice atmosphere, good drinks, and good. Interesting decor. Overall, its always a good time here.

    If you havent been, you are missing out. a grand, opulent space, ornate & luxurious down to the last details made democratic by a welcoming & knowledgable staff. some of the finest cocktails you will find anywhere at one of the finest bars you will find anywhere. the creme brulee is criminally delicious as is the iberico ham.

  • Review 3 (2022-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    A truly luxurious and unapologetically opulent place. A lively bar scene. At the same time very good and unpretentious service. Amazing cocktails, gorgeous glassware and decent wine selection by glass. Higher-end price point.If you are willing to splurge they got you, some cocktails are over $1000. But most are within 30$ range:) The Reach was amazing.

  • Review 4 (2022-12-06 - Rating: 5)

    Gorgeous bar! The espresso martini and escargot were phenomenal. Definitely recommend this as a must visit in NYC.

  • Review 5 (2019-10-02 - Rating: 5)

    Outstanding bar for luxury craft cocktails in a beautiful atmosphere served by friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended.

  • Review 6 (2023-10-02 - Rating: 5)

    Loved the extensive champagne list and service! if you like extravagant this is a place to do it i had birth year champagne lol for the first time and it was really good!

  • Review 7 (2022-11-19 - Rating: 4)

    Fantastic place to celebrate or bring a date. Lobster rolls are the best; avoid crab avocado with too much mayo. Great ambiance.

    Does anyone know if there is an age requirement? My boyfriend and I have booked a reservation to go here during a trip and I am wondering if I’ll need id

  • Review 9 (2024-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    We stopped at the bar for an after dinner drink and Debbie, our bartender was so friendly and wonderful! The space is gorgeous! We will definitely be back on our next visit to NYC!

    Run, dont walk to this place. FANTASTIC

  • Review 11 (2024-02-21 - Rating: 5)

    The Bar at the Baccarat has always been a favorite of mine in New York. Its absolutely STUNNING and always a luxurious treat or gorgeous place to bring out of town guests. Last week I had an appointment at the LaMer spa in the Baccarat and arrived at the hotel early to enjoy the bar as a special treat for my birthday. The bar staff were so wonderful making me feel welcome and celebrated even though I was there by myself. I want to give a special shoutout and thank you to Debbie that taught me so much about all the beautiful chandeliers in the space, provided the best bar service, and surprised me with a birthday dessert and glass of champagne. The Bar can be hard to get a seat at because they dont offer reservations but dont miss the opportunity to enjoy this special space :)

  • Review 12 (2017-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    Classy bar, perfect cocktails. Pricey but worth it. Felt like a celebrity! Glassware is gorgeous. Loved the chandeliers.

  • Review 13 (2024-11-03 - Rating: 5)

    I have many fond memories of this place. Service, food and ambience is always good.

  • Review 14 (2024-04-28 - Rating: 5)

    Great bar. Yummy cocktails. Discrete but hip. Beautiful stemware and imaginative offerings. Bring your wallet.

  • Review 15 (2022-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Beautiful environment, friendly staff, impressive cheese platter and two free snacks! This is called nyc life.

  • Review 16 (2023-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    This place is the best, the people are extremely friendly and welcoming. I felt I was underdressed but unlike other places everyone that worked there was super nice and helpful and not once they looked down. The cocktails while pricey is totally worth it and even the deserts as well. I will Definitely go to this place again for date night or even just solo to get some good drinks.

  • Review 17 (2019-08-26 - Rating: 5)

    What an impressive ambience and design, great service and special food and drinks!! Love it! Must try the ‘Mille foglie’ dessert!

  • Review 18 (2023-04-24 - Rating: 4)

    Very beautiful, sophisticated decor that offers dim lighting, craft cocktails, and small plates. $34 for a mixed drink seems steep to me however. The chicken sandwich was very good and priced reasonably.

  • Review 19 (2024-02-09 - Rating: 4)

    Came by for a drink because I was in the neighborhood and had earmarked the bar after buying some really beautiful Baccarat rocks glasses. Opulent setting. Attentive, professional bar tenders. Good cocktail; not in the top tier of NYC for the price, but the ambience was worth the price for the experience.

  • Review 20 (2018-05-23 - Rating: 5)

    You just have to rate this place 5 stars. Its as fabulous as fabulous can be.No expense spared in decor or glass ware. You feel very posh just sitting here sipping high end cocktails.I would hate to have to pick up the bill myself in this place. The cocktail prices are astronomical, but what would you expect from a bar in what is supposedly the most expensive hotel in Manhattan ($2000 per night for a regular room when I was there).The $42 Old Fashioned, poured over cotton candy at your table is something to behold.

  • Review 21 (2024-06-03 - Rating: 4)

    Posh!

  • Review 22 (2024-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite cocktail spot in NYC. Every drink has unique flavors and served in their beautiful glasses. Everyone there is dressed to impress.

  • Review 23 (2019-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing bar and well crafted drinks. You come for the amazing glassware and champagne selection but also if you want to treat yourself to a very fancy joint. Price conscious people beware... this is one of the most expensive bars in NYC ... up there with the Aviary and the Office. But hidden away in the Baccarat Hotel, which by itself is jaw dropping and a people watching delight, if you want to impress your friends/date and depress your accountant, highly recommended.

  • Review 24 (2019-06-01 - Rating: 5)

    This place deserves 6 stars! Service was impeccable, from the entrance downstairs until we were seated at a table on the terrace. The cocktails were amazing (my favorites were the Eagle Eye and the New Me) - loved the glasses they served the champagne cocktails in! The decor is beautiful and the fresh lilies in the bathroom are a nice touch too. Absolutely recommend this place.

  • Review 25 (2019-01-23 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely stunning atmosphere and decor with an array of very beautiful drinks. Definitely worth the price. I’ve come at various times of day, and each time is consistently a wonderful, relaxed experience. The staff is very quick to accommodate any requests, which is always appreciated!

  • Review 26 (2023-10-01 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere and very good service. Expensive yeah but it’s classy

  • Review 27 (2024-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    Probably my favorite bar in NYC. The atmosphere is great of course because of the large crystal chandeliers and other baccarat glassware. The staff at the bar are very polite, knowledgeable and friendly. Really I can’t go to New York and not have a drink there.

  • Review 28 (2023-11-14 - Rating: 4)

    Glassware is beautiful

  • Review 29 (2022-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    Obsessed with this place! The cocktails are fantastic, the interior is gorgeous! The staff is great too!🫶🏻

  • Review 31 (2017-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing Bar in front of the MOMA. A must visit if you like a good drink

  • Review 32 (2021-10-29 - Rating: 5)

    Very upscale bar. Sat down and was surrounded by baccarat crystals. Very attentive staff and amazing drinks served in beautiful crystal.

  • Review 33 (2019-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    Might be my new favorite in NYC. I have nothing but great things to say about this bar. If you have not been, check it out.

  • Review 34 (2022-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    POSH POSH POSH! Super elegant and quite nice staff as well. Very expensive so dont come here with penny pinchers aka Centavos. Well worth the splurge. Love this spot!

  • Review 35 (2023-11-19 - Rating: 4)

    Jeff can mix up an incredible drink !

  • Review 36 (2024-10-25 - Rating: 5)

    The ambience in this place is amazing. The bartenders could have been bit more friendlier since I am spending 35$ for a cocktail. Other than that the place is amazing.

  • Review 37 (2024-02-09 - Rating: 4)

    Good food and drinks but the service in the small room outside the back sucks.

  • Review 38 (2024-06-04 - Rating: 4)

    Clean, spacious, friendly staff. Drinks are expensive, and I mean expensive. You can go dressed casually, but youre likely to see some very dressed up people. Did not have any food, we just went for an end of the night drink before going home. Probably would not go again, but only because of the price, not because of anything else.

  • Review 39 (2024-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    Nestled in the heart of New York City, this elegant and sleek bar is a must-see destination. From the moment you step inside, youre enchanted in an atmosphere of Baccarat exquisite crystals and luxury. The drinks are as delicious as they are expertly crafted, and the service, led by Bruno, is nothing short of a class act. Every moment spent here is an unforgettable experience, making it a must-visit spot for anyone seeking luxury and refinement in the city.

  • Review 40 (2020-01-28 - Rating: 4)

    Babes, Babes and more babes. Killer wine list. Some of the best music being curated in town. Genius little hideaway if you ask me.

  • Review 41 (2022-12-01 - Rating: 5)

    This is an almost perfect place for a chill Sunday, an evening date, or a wonderful alone-treat. Id go back there.

  • Review 42 (2018-11-30 - Rating: 5)

    Classical decoration，really really great!!music is loud,but still worth 5 stars

  • Review 43 (2024-01-29 - Rating: 5)

    Forget your dimly lit speakeasies and your trendy rooftop havens, The Bar at Baccarat Hotel is a different breed of beast. Its a temple of opulence, a playground for the senses, and a testament to the finer things in life. From the moment you step through the Baccarat-adorned doors, youre transported to a world of glittering chandeliers, black and white marble floors, and velvet-accented seating that begs you to sink in and stay a while.We walked into The Bar after our off Broadway jaunt. Walking into The Bar feels like stepping into a luxurious Parisian salon, reimagined for the 21st century. Soaring barrel-vaulted ceilings adorned with intricate moldings and glittering chandeliers set the stage. Art, in all its forms, takes center stage: sculptures gleam amidst the plush seating, a massive tapestry hangs like a silent observer, and the iconic black and white harlequin floor adds a touch of playful drama. Every corner is a photo op, every detail a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating this space.But The Bar isnt just about aesthetics; its a haven for the social butterfly. Different lounge areas cater to different moods: the intimate booths tucked away offer a haven for hushed conversations, while the central bar buzzes with energy as expertly dressed bartenders craft bespoke cocktails. People-watching here is an art form. Youll find fashionistas sporting the latest trends, art collectors discussing their latest acquisitions, and power players making deals between sips of vintage Champagne. We enjoyed purveying the crowd while we sipped on our choice of top shelf tequila. Neat.And throughout it all, the service is nothing short of impeccable. The host greets you with a warm smile and a knowing glint in their eye, guiding you to the perfect spot to soak in the atmosphere. The waitstaff, as polished as the Baccarat crystals themselves, anticipate your every need and move with a quiet grace that befits the grandeur of the space.The Bar at Baccarat Hotel is more than just a bar; its an experience. Its a place where luxury meets artistry, where conversation flows as smoothly as your choice of beverage, and where every detail is orchestrated to perfection. Its a playground for the discerning crowd, a haven for the socialite, and a feast for the senses for you when you decide to step through its doors.

  • Review 49 (2023-03-15 - Rating: 4)

    Beautiful bar with tasty cocktails. But dress nicely if you don’t want the hostess looking at you with bad eyes and judging you all the time even if you spend $250.00 in just a couple drinks in 20 minutes.

  • Review 57 (2017-04-04 - Rating: 5)

    This is a very fancy little bar that could be a lot more pretentious than it is. The glassware is lovely (as expected) and the drinks list is formidable. The service was appropriately well mannered but really nothing more. That was fine. We didnt need a hovering waiter!The spicy almonds are delicious and come in a beautiful little baccarat dish. Definitely try the almonds!

  • Review 58 (2021-08-20 - Rating: 5)

    The bar has its own characters. Ordered their cocktails 🍹 and they were pretty good. The FRIES are really tasty 🤤

  • Review 59 (2018-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    Went for a late dinner on Sunday night (9ish). Short wait for a table so decided to just sit at the back bar. The bar tender was very sweet and helpful figuring out the perfect drink. The food was amazing. Probably the best food Ive had in the city in the 5 years Ive lived here. I cant believe Ive waited so long to try it. I will definitely be back. It is usually crowded so Id recommend a reservation or you can also do takeout.

  • Review 60 (2018-02-11 - Rating: 5)

    OMG!!! This is why I live in Manhattan and no where else. This place is ridiculously fabulous. There is no place like it in this city.

    Most expensive drinks here but venue is great. Service was excellent. Place was pack with rich people. Cocktails are 40 dollars and up. Opus wine half bottle is $550 and 40 yrs old Macalan is 320 dollars a shot, you get the idea. Crystal lights every where

  • Review 90 (2022-05-27 - Rating: 4)

    The crystal chandelier and interior were so beautiful and stylish, the cocktails were delicious, and the staff were really friendly. However, I expected a more elegant interior, but it was a bit crazy and flashy? I dont think Ill go again, but if you like baccarat, you should still go! Just looking at the glasses on display is a treat for the eyes. FYI, there is no cover charge, but the cocktail was about $45. The taste was good, but the glass was pretty and the presentation wasnt great at all.
