The Bowery Hotel

"Entering the lobby of the Bowery Bar at The Bowery Hotel in downtown Manhattan feels like stepping on to the set of a vintage noir film." - The MICHELIN Guide

"After-hours at The Bowery Lobby in the Bowery Hotel." - Nancy DePalma

"Located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, The Bowery Hotel combines luxe and dreamy elements with an artsy, creative, and eccentric vibe. The ambiance features rich, lush colors, mood lighting, brass fixtures, and sumptuous velvets."

"Since opening its doors in 2007, The Bowery Lobby at the Bowery Hotel has remained one of the trendiest places to grab drinks in downtown NYC. Complete with wood-paneled walls, spacious leather armchairs, and a variety of quirky antiques (and taxidermy) scattered about, this dimly lit space offers specialty cocktails, wine, beer, and an excellent selection of whisky. Frequented by hotel guests, celebrities, and locals alike, the bar makes for an excellent date night location, as well as a great place to catch up with friends, especially during cooler weather months, when the bar’s fireplace is alive and thriving. Added bonus: The Bowery Lobby also offers an extensive list of aperitivi and digestivi, and with regards to pricing, the bar’s signature cocktails all clock in under $20 a pop—a steal, with regards to other NYC-based hotel bar offerings." - CNT Editors, Vicki Denig

"Walking into the lobby at The Bowery feels like stepping back into a Gothic version of the nineteenth century—or at least, a movie set from someone with a gothic vision. Dimly lit and oozing atmosphere, it's a world of crimson velvet, dark leather and wood, threadbare Oriental rugs and oil paintings. The effect is transportive to another time, but somehow still rooted in downtown NYC. The view from one of the upper floors is something you'll never get tired of, and is worth the splurge. The Bowery's in-house restaurant, Gemma, is a solid choice on warm evenings—grab an outdoor table and get ready for some of the best people-watching in NYC. After dinner, few places are better for a glass of red than the lobby lounge (its fireplace makes the atmosphere even better)." - John Wogan, Nicole Schnitzler, CNT Editors, Sandra Ramani
