Cocktail Bars

Hi Again

Our hotel is Broadway 42nd street. Can anyone advise on the best cocktail bars within walking distance. Also what prices should we expect to pay. Back home in the Uk, pounds converted to dollars would amount to around 14 dollars per drink. Any tips would be appreciated

Thanks

Within a few blocks, the Campbell Apartment is very nice:

But most of the best cocktail bars will be outside of Midtown. You might try:

Thanks Crans

I%26#39;ll look them up. Whats your favourite ??

42 st. %26amp; Broadway is the height of the tourist area so the nicer bars in the area will mostly be hotel bars. Price depends on the place. The bar in the View restaurant inside the Marriott Marquis (the only place that revolves) has a great view and drinks are something like $15-20. You%26#39;re paying for the view. They also have the Broadway Lounge on the 8th floor with views overlooking Times Square.

My favorite bar/lounge in the area is in the Algonquin hotel-either the lobby lounge or the bar. It%26#39;s on 44th st. just off 6th ave. On the same block there are a number of other hotels. The bar in the Royalton is modern/trendy.

Some bars in the Times Square area that are listed on hipguide are

Highbar

250 West 48th Street

Inc Lounge

224 West 49th Street, 2nd Floor (inside Time hotel)

Ava Lounge and Roofdeck

210 West 55th Street

Dream Hotel

D%26#39;Or

204 West 55th Street

I like the bars at Hudson Hotel. Especially the library bar and the outdoor garden bar.

Thanks for the replys

As time will pass us by so quickly on our visit, it is important to make the most of the advice given from this forum. Our plan was to visit as many as possible (in the evening only) and stop over for one drink then move on. No doubt we will get caught up in all the excitment and forget to vist the next bar on our list. I will look into all the replys on this topic and put together the most popular bars on a must visit and try list. Please keep your favourite bars coming and why you like them.

Oh!! forgot to mention will will be celibrating a 40th birthday so we will be quick to notice when we are not in with the young crowd! lol and by the end of the night';who cares';

Thanks !
