Description



Located a block from Grand Central Station, the bar sits close to the historic Madison Avenue agencies that inspire its theme. The space works well for small gatherings and drinks, backed by friendly and attentive staff. While the drinks get positive marks, visitors note that food service can be slow even on quieter nights, and the food itself—like the frites—is described as mediocre. It is best enjoyed when focusing on the beverage menu rather than planning a full dinner.
