The Portrait Bar
4.5 (299)bar
4.5 (299)This cozy Manhattan hotel lounge pairs creative, location-themed cocktails with upscale bites in a warmly lit space.
Description
Navigating the hotel's interior leads to a space filled with large couches and low chairs. The seating is comfortable for drinks but makes balancing a plate tricky; those eating the gourmet burgers or hot dogs might prefer the bar. Standard orders like a martini arrive with a side bowl of pickles, olives, and pickled onions, and guests are served popcorn. While the menu carries premium pricing, the fast service and beautiful decor make it a reliable spot for a date.
