The main, and sometimes only, reason to visit this bar is for the incredible room. considering it makes you feel as if you were drinking on the set of Citizen Kane, that's more than enough. Unfortunately because of its location in Grand Central it's often mobbed by the after work subburban crowd, which can make it both loud and inhospitable. Also the drinks aren't cheap (but the bar tenders are excellent and the selction very good). Additionally t's nearly impossible to go to during the winter holiday season as its booked constantly with corporate parties. Go late or go on weekends. It's one of New York's hidden gems, but you have to be prepared for the aggravation factor.

this bar is about 30-feet wide, 60-feet long with a remarkable 25-feet high ceiling in one of the most prestigious and convenient locations in New York City – the Grand Central Station. Cognac and single-malt scotch are the drinks of choice here. Even in New York City, there are few places where patrons can order an 18-year-old Macallan single-malt Scotch or - better yet - a $175 glass of Remy Martin Louis XIII. However, the bar also offer “regular” drinks and beer. Further, an impressive list of vintage cocktails and house specialties set the space apart. The establishment is frequented by prosperous-looking Manhattanites who know how to have a fun and classy time.
