MeliApril 21, 2013This is an upscale bar/lounge within the Gramercy Hotel that serves $19 martinis. Do recommend their crunchy and tasty French fries! Good ambiance and music but the crowd is older and unattractive. :/
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍December 27, 2019Sexy, mature and a gorgeous space. The Rose Bar, sets the mood for chilling with friends or a date. Dress accordingly and be prepared to get gorgeous ambience, great service and drinks
The Corcoran GroupJuly 23, 2013While the drinks are expensive, we love to grab a cocktail here while we're waiting to be seated at Maialino. The scene is classy and upscale, and we feel instantly cool just by sitting at the bar.
John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018In the latest incantation of the Gramercy's hotel bar, Julian Schnabel and Ian Schrager have crafted a chic space fit for Bourbon kings and bourbon lovers.- Guest of a GuestOctober 12, 2011“The velvety decor, mile-high ceilings, and gigantic fireplace will lure you in. The drinks are a little pricey, but the ambience is worth it. It’s one of my favorites for people-watching.” Read more
Camille LJune 20, 2015Dope nightlife, amazing cocktails, beautiful artwork! Be sure to arrive before 9 PM so you can guarantee admittance. Very strict door policy.
Ed KavisheMay 18, 2013Congratulations, you have arrived at one of the most exclusive bars in Manhattan and one of #FWPRESS Favorite Bars....Enjoy the Cocktails (Oh and Congratulations for getting in too)
Love this bar! Great cocktails and the atmosphere is unique.

HenaliJune 9, 2015such a chill classy vibe..with delicious drinks. Def recommended during happy hour time when its quiet with lots of seats
Gregory DominguezDecember 20, 201410 Out of 10. Amazing place, REMARKABLE service; GREAT music, scene and ambiance
Michael HarrisAugust 17, 2016Really love it here. Classic Nyc. Recommend going with the house cocktails, they're so great.
Kyle SeeverMarch 22, 2015Great live jazz on Thursdays. The lounge is very nice. Get there before 10pm to avoid dealing with the bouncers at the door.
Although it is not the scene as it was five years ago, this bar is always fun, relaxed, and serves great cocktails... reminds me of Cheers in some regards
Stephan DNovember 8, 2013gentlemens and their gentleladies. live jazz on tues and thursdays. vodka martini stirred with a twist. sport your thursday jacket. live in the moment. #mrdalal
James Burrell, IIDecember 29, 2012I always leave a tip :-) Plus, just be cordial to the staff. They are people too. Don't feel too special, because everyone in NYC is either someone or knows someone.
Gökhan EgeneNovember 20, 2019Nice coctails but staff is not too helpful(nor friendly)at busy times.Nice Andy Warhols on the walls..no need for a second visit
Davinci VirtualApril 12, 2011A great night spot, Gramery Park Hotel's art-rich nightclub offers expertly mixed cocktails & live music. Check out the artwork by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat & Keith Haring while you are here.
Tiffany & CoJune 1, 2011This is a scene. Maybe the scene. An opulent Spanish-style space with a bohemian air. Schnabels on the walls, celebs around the fireplace, outrageous cocktails. Come before 9pm to secure a table.
Adam SchuitJune 10, 2015Super swanky bar. The drinks are expensive but you are paying really to hang out with beautiful "cool" people.
The staff, music, food/drinks, the entire experience is worth every moment.
Natasha TaylorMarch 10, 2013Good, but very expensive drinks ($19 for cocktails, if you get a bourbon on the rocks it's $23), but you pay for the atmosphere more than anything else. Make a reservation to get in on the weekends.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Check out the Jean-Michel Basquiat painting on the wall while you drink a Christmas cocktail. – Green Guide Editor- Michael Fox-RabinovitzMarch 21, 2015Great bar and ambiance, fantastic cocktail menu, and an awesome pool table
- Valentin GuerinFebruary 20, 2016Perfect date spot, come early if you want to grace a seat. Romantic.
Paula PVOctober 2, 2015Discrimination. It does not matter if u have reservation or not... What it does matter is if the boucer likes your face... And believe me we were 4 girls all together... Too bar Rose Bar.
amNewYorkOctober 5, 2011This ultra-exclusive spot has so little interest in ordinary folks (that’s you and me) that you must request a reservation via e-mail if you want a drink after 9 p.m. (rosebar@gramercyparkhotel.com).
Laura MMarch 6, 2014A great lounge with awesome cocktails. Just don't wear a red dress or you might be mistaken for a waitress!
CompassApril 25, 2014This bar at the Gramercy Hotel specializes in upscale cocktails and a luxurious and posh atmosphere.
Stephanie HouserNovember 30, 2009If you want to impress a client or a date, there's a secret bar here. Champagne starts around $60 a glass.. Try it after dinner at Maialino, 1 of the best new restaurants in the city, I know a chef.. Read more
EsquireJanuary 31, 2011Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. (And congratulations again for actually getting in.) We recommend the Maca Martini, made with Sagatiba Cachaça.
Taylor WmsJuly 29, 2011This is one of my favorite spots,reservations & rooftop drinks. nice crowd ,sexy decorum & drinks run around $18 I love it!
Alex MizrahiJune 17, 2013"A lot of people hate the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel. It's expensive, the decor is contrived, you have to make a reservation to get in after 9:00 p.m. What detractors fail to appreciate..." Read more
Alissa WinberryMarch 22, 2014If you want watered down drinks and a bouncer with an agenda, this is your spot!
Luca MessinaDecember 24, 2013Tough to find a better environment for a date, exclusive setting with a good vibe to it.
AlyssaSeptember 13, 2014The doormen are the extreme opposite of helpful and had no idea how to talk to a customer....not a customer anymore!
Concert Ticket AgencySeptember 7, 2012Ridiculously exclusive. Can you GET more NY than Artist Julian Schnabel? And no, just because you're a registered hotel guest doesn't mean you'll get in. Go early.
PeopleAugust 23, 2010Feeling ambitious? Try getting into the Gramercy Park Hotel'suber-exclusive hangout, where Warhols adorn the walls. If you succeed, $19martinis (and bragging rights) await you.
Alice QOctober 11, 2013Second worst manhattan I've had in Manhattan. Most expensive as well. And I love music but I don't get why they turn up the volume a notch per song. We were YELLING but I could only see lips moving.
Benjamin WilliamsFebruary 10, 2017Inattentive cocktail waitresses and capricious doormen, but that's what you signed up for.- drew tarvinMay 25, 2015It's good for a fancy drink and some live music, though expect to pay quite a bit.
Bob MerskiSeptember 2, 2012The drinks are pricey, but nice and strong. Everyone here looks like a model but they weren't pretentious and actually were friendly with us "non-fabulous" common folk.
Ward WilliamsNovember 7, 2011Go early and have a martini in the Rose Bar. Put your name in for a table at Mailino.
Jenny LDecember 28, 2015Drinks are over priced ($19 per drink as your cheapest option) and the service of bartenders was ridiculously arrogant. Romantic ambience with nice location near Gramercy Park, though.
Toby DanielsMay 13, 2012Try the alcohol, it's exactly the same as everywhere else but three times the price. Awesome.
