If you can find the elbow room in this always-lively joint, you won't be disappointed with the abundance of whiskey and perfectly-balanced cocktails.
Great for an intimate date but also great for a power meeting. Beautiful setting with great drinks and excellent barkeeps.
If the bar is too crowded, try snagging a seat at the adjoining Library, a room adorned with plush seating and books and an antique spiral staircase from France.
Best martinis and bar snacks on the UES, not to mention the Bemelman murals play nicely agains the dark space and great jazz trio.
Definitely come for the half price punch bowl specials for happy hour from 5-7pm on weekdays, it's relatively quiet and the punch tastes great
