Center Bar
4.5 (54)bar
Set four floors up, this relaxed Manhattan bar pairs Central Park views with small bites and easy conversation.
Description




The atmosphere remains upscale without getting loud, keeping the volume down for talking. It works well as a pre-show stop before concerts at Jazz at Lincoln Center or for small celebrations. Behind the bar, skilled bartenders serve balanced drinks while a pianist plays the fortepiano. The kitchen turns out shareable small plates, including crispy crab cake bites, sweet-smoky glazed skewers, tuna tacos, sliders, and warm brownie bites.
