    Had a smoked cocktail and chicken wings, then the full breakfast buffet the next morning.Smoked cocktail came out in a large smoke filled glass. Pretty neat display.Everything was delicious, the buffet had honey from the apiary on thier rooftop, berries, smoked salmon and all the eggs, meats and pastries seemed fresh.

    Bar restaurant inside intercontinental hotel! Breakfast also served here! Buffet breakfast! Good quality are not bad! Recommended

  • Review 3 (2023-10-07 - Rating: 5)

    We had a full buffet breakfast during our stay at the intercontinental hotel in NYC . Our waiter was very attentive and brought coffee and juice right away. We went to help ourselves to the extensive buffet. The choices were great. Pastries, yogurt, fruit, oatmeal with all the accompaniments, cold cereal, eggs, bacon, potatoes! More than you could hope for on a Saturday morning.

    Based on drinks this is a 5 star. Truly fabulous drinks that are expertly crafted. I recommend the beehave tasting flight. However the service in the lounge area is lacking. Bar food was well thought out however did not evoke the same enthusiasm as the drink except the nuts which were amazing. Worth the visit for the craft cocktail flights

  • Review 5 (2024-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    Enjoyed the Stinger Cocktail Bar and Restaurant for breakfast everyday during our hotel stay at ING Intercontinental Times Square .This was full breakfast, and it was delicious and items were refreshed frequently !!!Also enjoyed all the waiters and bar staff during Cocktail hour and their attention to our needs and making sure we enjoyed our visit and Cocktails were made perfectly 😀Highly recommend this restaurant

  • Review 6 (2024-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    They use their own honey, from bees on the roof, for their drinks. Very tasty.

  • Review 7 (2023-08-07 - Rating: 4)

    Nice cocktails bar which is attached to our the hotel. Reasonable priced for two drinks. The atmosphere was calm the service was warm and welcoming.

  • Review 8 (2019-05-13 - Rating: 4)

    Would give 5 stars if it werent for the high prices. Relaxed environment, near Broadway shows. Fireplace, good wine, and delicious nuts. We returned twice during our 4 day visit, so I guess we felt it was worth the $$$.

  • Review 9 (2024-04-01 - Rating: 5)

    Located is the lobby of the Intercontinental Times Square and the Hotel is tucked away nicely around from main parts of Times Square. Booked on a busy night but the service and pace of the staff was impeccable. Great meal, great drinks, and will definitely return. Great location and across the street from a great jazz lounge as well.

    Good Food, Great Drinks, Nice Vibe !Roasted Chicken and a Legit Lobster 🦞 Roll w/sweet potato fries.

  • Review 11 (2024-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    10/10! The food is delicious. This is the blackened salmon. The cocktails are deeply curated for taste and dazzle. Go there before the show or head over to one of the hottest jazz spots in the city-Birdland!

    Nice bar in the Continental Hotel to take a break after had a cold Wetter from the outside.

  • Review 13 (2023-10-07 - Rating: 4)

    Very nice hotel buffet. Service was excellent and attentive. Buffet had nice selection of hot foods (the bacon was great!) and the pastry selection was terrific. I loved the croissant. Smoked salmon was a nice touch. Only four stars for food since was light on fresh fruit. Room was pleasant.

  • Review 14 (2024-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    Good vibes, great waiters. Mezze better than restaurants in Greece. Club Sandwich great but blackened Salmon fantastic

    Good place to sit around and have cocktails before a broadway play ❤️

  • Review 16 (2023-07-13 - Rating: 5)

    5 star review for Eddie who the best server we had!! Made our whole family laugh we would come back just for him!! Had amazing time and also great cocktails and the fish was great.

  • Review 17 (2019-05-23 - Rating: 5)

    We knew where to go for an amazing drink and a delectable bite to eat, The Stinger! On our second visit we delighted in the Queen Bee Punch Bowl for 4 and Chunky Lobster Guacamole! Fantastic treats! The Punch Bowl offered plenty to drink for 4, 2-3 glasses each. The guac was tremendously good.The bar atmosphere is fun and it was not overly crowded. Service was friendly and quick. Oh, try the nuts! Smokey, spicy and so addictive.If you are in Hells Kitchen or the Theater District (or near 44 & 8) stop in!

  • Review 18 (2022-02-15 - Rating: 4)

    I liked the atmosphere. First night the Stinger drink was amazing. 2nd night too lemony. Nice bar tenders. Can get 2 sizes for cocktails. So you can split a drink for less $ versus 2 drinks. Didnt tey food but other patrons raved about fish app.

  • Review 19 (2020-01-28 - Rating: 5)

    Wait staff is very friendly and attentive. Great selection of entrees and starters, and the food came quickly. Nice lighting and large televisions around the bar area - very clean place with a cool atmosphere, worth stopping in!

  • Review 20 (2022-02-13 - Rating: 4)

    Ideal cocktails location for Broadway area. Service was quick . Food was really good during restaurant week deal. We had the braised short Ribs and Bronzini who were both excellent. ( meal also came with a wine pairing)

    Great atmosphere! Met some friends after seeing Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. Great drinks although a bit pricey....Still would reccomend dropping in!

    Excellent service and great cocktail selection.

  • Review 24 (2023-05-23 - Rating: 4)

    Stingee was definitely an expensive place to eat, but I enjoyed it. The drinks were pricey at roughly $22 per mixed drink, and the food was similarly priced. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was excellently seasoned. Overall, 7/10. Wont be my first choice for dining. However, it definitely isnt a last choice.

  • Review 25 (2024-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    Great dining experience and place to chill at the hotel. Lauren, Sam and Leo are fantastic and super helpful.A good spot to take a break from the scorching NYC heat this summer.

  • Review 27 (2023-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    Super fun bar in the Intercontinental, love their 2 drink size options, the stinger and the buzz. Happening place for late night drinks!

  • Review 28 (2019-11-19 - Rating: 4)

    This place was expensive, but they have great cocktails. Their flatbreads look like pizza, but the crust is definitely flatbread like. It’s not puffy like NY pizza. Would recommend either version of it. (There’s a mozzarella one with tomatoes and ricotta, and a goat cheese one with chorizo).The lobster guacamole was good. Huge chunks of lobster in the bowl (it’s not mixed into the guac, so you can decide how much you want with each scoop). There’s guac and salsa under the lobster head, so remove it instead of trying to eat around it.The cocktails were wonderful. We had The Stinger and The Killer Bee. The Stinger was not sweet, but it came with a stick with honey at the end to mix in or suck on. The Killer Bee was perfect with whiskey, mezcal, and grapefruit.Would not recommend this place if you’re on a budget. The cocktails are $18 each (without tip/tax), and the lobster guacamole is $26. If your wallet can handle it, you’ll like this place!If you need $5-6 cocktails that aren’t as meticulously handcrafted, go across the street to Gyu Kaku.

    Great service!Delicious food!Inside our hotel, so it was very convenient.

  • Review 31 (2017-05-27 - Rating: 4)

    Lucky find for pre-theater drinks & snacks. Delicious cocktails made with honey from their Rooftop hives. Lounge-y seats by a fire, relaxed atmosphere and lots of space compared to the crowded and loud other options around!

  • Review 32 (2023-05-11 - Rating: 5)

    Smokin Sipper is still one of my favorite smoked cocktails, years later. Food is a little pricey for what you get, but still decent nosh.

  • Review 33 (2020-03-11 - Rating: 5)

    Wonderful staff. Ordered flatbread pizza which was very appetizing. Cocktails were on point as well.

  • Review 34 (2018-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    We just went to the bar which is very trendy and nice especially if you need a relatively quiet nice place to relax after the bustle of Times Square. My wife had their version of the Moscow Mule, which she liked quite a bit

    Really good cocktail list, and they actually offer a cocktail flight as well, where you can have three small pours of their special cocktails! I had three of their scotch cocktails, which were excellent.

    Very nice place to relax with friends for drinks. It is in mid-town theater district, so it is on the pricey side.

    Visited fall 2023A nice hotel bar with quick service and pretty average drinks. This place gets points for providing high quality bar nuts. The drinks were tasty and strong, the atmosphere was quiet but lively.This hotel bar is a great place to visit while staying, but is also easy to just drop in. Everything seemed clean and well organized. Would go again.

  • Review 72 (2023-03-29 - Rating: 4)

    It is a hotel bar. I will start by saying that. But it is fun, and they dont rush you so you can chill, enjoy, and take your time. The cocktail choices are great. This place is $$$ so prepare yourself. It is right across from Birdland Jazz so I recommend grabbing a drink here before or after you see a show.

  • Review 75 (2022-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    This place is very UNSAFE do not go here under any circumstance. If anything happens to you here the security cannot help you. The cameras DO not work. They are simply there for decoration. If something were to happen to you here they won’t participate in any investigation. It says here it is LGBT friendly but it is NOT. God forbid someone puts something in your drink they can’t help you because the cameras don’t Work they will say the footage is small. I am the victim of a crime and they are NOT willing to help me. Also besides the safety concerns. The food is not properly cooked . I had the free range roasted chicken it was blood still in the chicken you can tell it wasn’t properly prepared . Please avoid this place. You will regret coming here. Please save your money and time so you won’t end up how I did.
