The Stinger Cocktail Bar & Kitchen Reviews

This restaurant is located at the Intercontinental Times Square (which is where we were staying) and it is amazing. I can recommend the flatbread 100% it is lovely😄

The Stinger is in the Intercontinental Times Square. For breakfast it only offers a buffet, and it is not a particularly good one. The staff tries, but service is impaired because of understaffing, at least during moderately busy times. To top it off, prices are pretty high.

This was probably one of the best things about the Intercontinental NY Times Square property. We had the chicken with brie, and the salmon, both cooked to perfection. Our server was wonderful, prompt and courteous.

We stay at the Intercontinental, so sample a few evenings of cocktails before going out, or a nightcap on our return to the hotel. The bar is chic and comfortable, and their cocktail menu, and quality of drinks, good. Bar snacks are also tasty and ample portions to eat for a light snack. I agree with other reviewers that this bar can just lack on service. Some experiences are efficient & pleasant....others you wonder how the staff can get it so wrong!!!? We generally sit at the bar, and have visited at least once a year, for the last 8 years. We walk into The Stinger and hope one of the ‘good’ bartenders are on shift. George has stood out as our favorite for a couple of years now. We have had a couple of not so positive experiences in The Stinger.... The tall female bartender has argued with my husband about the drink he ordered & then even called security when he insisted he had ordered it a particular way. I thought customer service generally means you accommodate the customer!! The bar has a 1:00 am closing time but on Monday June 18th we were asked for our final call at 12 midnight. During a mimosa lunch, when the bar was hardly occupied, we had to grab attention of a bartender twice to order a drink. So all-in-all I enjoy calling into The Stinger during our Intercontinental stays....but be prepared to be patient!

Our waiter was wonderful! He made our experience. Food was good a bit pricey but its expected in NYC.

My colleagues and I decided to have dinner before attending the Broadway production Cult of Love. Our server, Eddie, was professional, quick-witted, and efficient—he truly made the evening memorable. And the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel where the Stinger is the in-house bar/restaurant. Post lunch sort out a coffee. Coffee of any description is lot listed on the drinks/snack menu. When no sign of waiter, we went searching to be told in a most off-hand approach that coffee was $10. When asked was this cup, mug, pot?? the off-handed approach and response was: $10. We walked out.

I happened upon this restaurant because it's near a theatre where I was planning to see a matinee. I was alone, but they didn't mind and offered me a window seat for Saturday brunch. It wasn't inexpensive, but they offered a complimentary mimosa, which made it festive. The food was very good. My server was really attentive and kept returning to my table to see how I was doing. It's not easy to find a nice dining option in the theatre district as shows are about to begin, so I was glad I found this place.

We visited The Stinger on several occasions and were not disappointed on any visit. A must is the Flight of Cocktails. These tasters can really wet your appetite for which cocktail you prefer without wasting money on a full drink. Sam Adams Winter Ale went down particularly well. The service was methodically slow, each bar person taking their time to get things right, which added to the ambience within Stinger's. The Short Rib Enchiladas were superb, tender, spicy and moorish! The Quesadillas were a very close second.

I was really disappointed in my experience at the Stinger in the Intercontinental Times Square. The wait staff was rude. I requested hot food ( because I have had a problem with this in the past) and the waiter said that the kitchen was two floors below the restaurant and he could not control the temperature of the food. Once I did get the food, I had to send it back because it was cold. He did not ever come back to check on me. He was too busy talking to the other waiters. He did not give me the proper utensils. You really do need a spoon when you’re eating ice cream ! You also need more than a cocktail napkin at lunch ! It is too bad the service is so lackluster, because Todd English is a celebrity chef. I have dined at some of his other restaurants and received much better service and hot food.

We stayed at the Intercontinental during our NYC visit. We stopped at the Stinger Bar on 2 different occasions for cocktails. My husband got The Stinger both times - I had the Mint to Be the first night and then tried the Honey Deuce special they were serving for the US Open. The cocktails were delicious and made with such care - our service was great and it was even more convenient that it was where we were staying - we will stop back again for drinks even if we end up staying in a different hotel.

Stayed at IHG for a work related event with colleagues. We enjoyed coming down to the stinger before dinner to have a drink . Eddie took such amazing care of us and was a delight ! He was extremely attentive and very engaging :)

Breakfast place of Intercon for 86$ for two. Nice selection but lazy waiters. Food quality is just okay...

After a night at the opera with my dear friend, we were looking for a place to grab a drink. The locations is not the best if you are a local, but this bar inside the hotel was perfect, “far” from the tourist madness. Our cocktail waitress Rosa was beyond sweet, funny and lovable. The drinks options are wide and the atmosphere is cozy!

Good bar selections and the snacks are pretty good but not exceptional. Quesadillas are nice. Lettuce wraps were OK. Service was acceptable but prices are on the high side.

My wife and I stopped at the Stinger for a cocktail after theater. We hesitated a little because of some of the reviews regarding service. However, our experience was excellent. I tried the Stinger, a wonderful cocktail with Gray Goose, a Yellow Chartreuse liquor and lemon; superb! My wife choose from the ample listing of wines by the glass. The highlight of our visit was Alla, the bartender. She was engaging and humorous, a delightful conversationalist. She was gracious in answering our questions about New York and we enjoyed her stories about Ukraine. Overall, an excellent experience!

Eddie was amazing, great food and drinks! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a drink and snack before a Broadway show.

Made a reservation on Open Table, didn't mean a thing to the hostess. Half the restaurant was closed off and only two servers on duty despite it being a holiday weekend. Drinks were way overpriced, even for NYC. And the food was so-so. Award-winning Chef Todd English really needs to get his name off of this. It hurts his brand. We expected more - just typical bad hotel food and high prices. Keep searching ...

With $20 food per room included on your room card we thought breakfast advertised at $34 was acceptable roughly $24 each. So off we went, but what a mistake that was. The wait to get seated was long as the tables and bar required cleaning. No welcome whatsoever just asked how many of us. Pointed to our table and left us to our own. Breakfast was pretty poor and after i had to look for the ketchup and salt and pepper my food was warm at best. Having sat down at the wobbly table which i must say is super annoying, I probably ate 50% of my plate as it wasnt any good. I have pictured the receipt so you can see. So yes, if you want to pay an extortionate amount of cash for a warm, poor and no thrills breakfast best to get stung at the stinger. I certainly will not eat there again. The bar service was a little slow also

We stopped in for cocktails and some snacks one rainy November night. We had just checked into the hotel and had a bit of time before our next commitment. It was early and the place was only moderately busy. We found a couple of seats at a high top table. I don't usually love those but the seats were comfy and we were all set to relax. The atmosphere is what I might call sort of upscale-sports bar. We were hungry. It took a while for a waiter to show up but he finally did and we ordered drinks and appetizers. Eventually the drinks came and were deposited without the requisite cocktail napkins. We tried getting someone's attention and eventually got a busboy to get us some napkins. Then we waited more until our small plates arrived. I have to say, I especially loved the chunky lobster guacamole with chips and the blue cheese stuffed buffalo meatballs. Then we waited some more, but nobody cleared our plates. We were still hungry and wanted to order a cheese plate. We waited some more, sometimes trying to get somebody's attention to no avail. I actually saw a group of staff, some in managerial clothing, standing not more than 6 feet away from us. I looked their way. Nobody flinched. Eventually we were able to interrupt our waiter walking past us to order some more. Then, you guessed it, we waited some more, looking at our dirty used plates still sitting in front of us. We had to get somebody to clear our used plates. Eventually the cheese plate came and it was delicious. But the fact that the staff were so disaffected and negligent was a palpable downer to the whole experience. There are plenty of nice places in Manhattan to get both great food and service at the same time and clearly, sadly, this isn't one of them.

I tend to avoid hotel restaurants and restaurants in the Time Square area. Nevertheless, we visited The Stinger before a Broadway show. The restaurant name is a reference to the beehives on the hotel roof. The collected honey is featured prominently in the cocktails and dishes. The cocktails are creative. The Smokin Sipper presentation and taste is reason to return. The small plates are better than expected.

Enjoyed breakfast at the Stinger Kitchen choosing the continental breakfast option. Also visited the bar in the evening for some great cocktails.

As residents we came for a drink before heading out for dinner. Service as expected in this level of hotel. Nice nuts brought to the table. Cocktails average just felt like a huge shot of alcohol but looked pretty. Not given the wow factor I was expecting.

How could a New York City bar be this bad in terms of service in an upscale Hotel. Our waiter took forever to take our drink order. And then the order took forever and was wrong. And then we couldn't the check! Twenty two dollars for bad drinks. Don't even bother.

Excellent service. enjoyed our lunch and a bloody mary in this bar spot. easy access near times square. short lunch menu worked well for a lunch time eats.

I only had breakfast at The Stinger. It is all buffet, which is ok, although the selection was more limited than others.Service was friendly, and the setting is nice.

The bar had good food and an excellent and interesting selection of drinks. Bar staff was most accommodating.

Unbelievably bad service today on Christmas Eve! We are hotel guests over the Christmas holiday at the Intercontinental. Earlier today myself, my partner and mum ordered a sandwich and three drinks. The drinks were good and food was fine, but the server didn’t bring us ketchup for 15 mins, then he said he remembered and got ketchup from another guests table with an open lid and gave it to us. I didn’t like this but never said anything. We paid the gratuity as expected but didn’t tip extra for good service as to us this wasn’t good service. We later had come in for a drink at 9pm, the same server refused to acknowledge us until I brought our attention to him, instead he dropped a load of cheques on the floor and left them there, eventually he took our order and said it’s last orders as they are closing. He took a long time to bring our drinks over so I asked is he going to bring these and he snapped how he has 30 tables to serve, he slammed my drink down on the table. I have never ever experienced such utter rude and disgusting manners from a server before. I informed his on duty manager and declined to pay for my drink which I didn’t drink due to how sloppy it was made and a bad vibe it made me uncomfortable, the manager seemed scared of the server and couldn’t get words out of his mouth. I have just been downstairs and realised guests are still being served even though we was told last orders. It’s pretty laughable to be honest, don’t work in service if you can’t handle it. I wouldn’t recommended this bar unless you tip for bad service or you’ll be treated disgusting. If the 18% is already added no tip/gratuity is needed you have already given it. I tip for good service, so if they give crap service they get no tip simple as that, some wait staff have become so accustomed to getting tips they actually expect it as a given regardless of how they treat the customer.

Final night in NYC & after seeing the amazing rockettes wanted cocktails before heading home the next day. This was near our hotel & sounded good with choice & food selection too. Service was slow & had to jump up & ask for drinks. Cocktails were returned & changed for wine as tasted hideous. Food was ordered & other than one dish arrived cold and tasteless. We left most of our food & despite sending one dish back because it was cold, received a check for over $112! Walked out & will never return. Very much ruined the end of our trip.

The breakfast buffet isn't always ready when they open but they get there eventually. It is not always refilled in a timely manner as well. Table service for coffee, tea, water, etc is a little spotty. It's sometimes hard to get someone's attention to refill a cup or glass. The say no when they don't really know. They served blintzes the other morning. When I asked for sour cream I was told they don't have it..."just cream cheese". I thought that was a stupid answer so I asked one of the chefs who was refilling an item and he said sure he'd send some out.

This past Saturday, my friends and I came to the Stinger for dinner to celebrate my Best Friend getting married. I am now obsessed with this restaurant. Everything from the service to the presentation and food and ambiance was just perfect. We ordered the Queen Bee drink for 6 and the presentation was beautiful, we could not stop taking pictures and the drink itself, I will definitely be coming back just for that drink. We ordered the Lobster Guacamole and WOW! DELICIOUS! We were talking about our experience the next day and I'm already craving the food again. Everything we ordered was fantastic . The restaurant had a very relaxing and romantic feel to it. I can't wait to bring my Husband here. For the life of me, I can not remember our servers name but he was great! He gave us great recommendations and was always around when we needed something. Thank you for a great night and we will definitely be back!!

They say they stay open if there are guests to serve. But since we don't KNOW if they'll be open, we don't show up. Hence no guests, hence time to close. Hence staff get to be Lazy here, Again.

We come by once a month or so for dinner and drinks, often on the way to the theatre. This place never fails—the drinks and food are great, and the service, especially with people like Eddie, is stellar. Try the Korean beef tacos, and the flatbreads, with any of the specialty cocktails,

We stayed at the Intercontinental and the Stinger is its restaurant and cocktail bar. The first thing we did after checking in was go down and get some cocktails and food. The food as always very delicious and the cocktails make you wanting more. This is a very popular place and has a great buzz about it so you are easily able to relax and enjoy. Great choice of food, beers and cocktails difficult to choose but once you have sit back and relax and enjoy

Wow. I wish that I had seen the terrible reviews of this place before going here. Service was slow, though at least professional. I had the stinger drink, which was good, as well as a glass of the house red, which was not. I don't know if this place serves food or not, but I was never proactively offered a food menu -- only drinks. Even if staying in the hotel, there are better options nearby. Spend your money elsewhere.

With the tip (included in the bill) a cup of coffee to accompany a mediocre breakfast is around $12, and it's the weakest, wateriest cup of coffee you're likely to find in New York City. I'll be no one eats here twice.

Stopped for lunch. Ordered a simple burger. Dining room was 'closed' off, and only the bar area was available for noon time lunch on Sunday.Hostess was pre-occupied. Finally, i took a seat in the room that was perhaps 20% filled Waiter....was lacking personality. Burger was 'average' at best. If you want to spend $40 bucks for a very average burger, fries, and coke...come here! Napkins? Dont expect anything more than a 'stack' of black cocktail napkins. Really? Whats going on here? If you want a better burger for MUCH less, walk around the corner and try Shake shake. NO COMPARISON!! This used to be a great dining room. No more. Too many great dining options within blocks of this location. DO NOT BOTHER!

We had such a wonderful time getting drinks and appetizers. The atmosphere was relaxing, our waiter was so funny and kind, and the food was delicious! We loved it.

Staying at the Hotel this seemed a good place for a pre dinner drink. The atmosphere was good but drinks were expensive and this wouldnt have been a problem but the service was very poor. My friend ordered a drink, which sat on the bar for several minutes and after asking for it twice, she ended up getting it herself.

The bar is nice but the service is absolutely terrible. The staff tend to socialize with the manager instead of offering service. We literally had to flag them down for service and the bar was practically empty. I have a video of them socializing with the manager for 15 minutes, providing no service during that time (and only 15 minutes because I was tired of filming). Let me be clear, it was not a staff meeting, it was socializing (I could see/hear). Very disappointing. I stopped the manager to ask why he detained his staff and his response was “sorry” with very little care. We were there on 8/23/19 between 7-9 pm. I also think this reflects poorly on the hotel.

We often stay at the Intercontinental when we visit NYC. The hotel is great... service, views, etc But we LOVE The Stinger. The in house bar is always playing good tunes, just the right amount of light, and a fine list of in house craft cocktails. Try the Smoking Sipper or the eponymous Stinger expertly creates by the friendly dude the bar, Raphael.

Not impressed at all!!!! The welcome was non existent, the service was worse than atrocious!?!?! The food was awful!!! Very rude waiters!!!! Won’t be back!!!! Incredibly disappointed!!!!

This restaurant/bar is attached via lobby to the Intercontinental Times Square Hotel, and it's a really nice addition. Stop in for a flight of coktails on your way in/out of the hotel.

The Stinger is a charming place to eat or hang out but it is very expensive--even for NYC. We got a couple of appetizers to go and they were delicious. A full meal here would break the bank.

we stopped in just for drinks - I don't usually do hotel bar/restaurants but the drinks were fab - the "gimmick" is there's a bee hive on the roof of the hotel, so Honey is a part of the drink menu - I enJOYed the beeswax's tasting flight; three 2oz drinks - tasty and beautiful - my drinking buddy had the Sting which is a "double" 12oz drink - I will go back to order the Lobster guacamole, the presentation was amazing...

My sister and I were on a mission to catch a matinee and stumbled upon this little joint called Stinger. Turns out, it was their grand reopening day for their new drink menu. Our bartender, Jorge, was the cutest thing. He was so friendly and made us feel right at home. He recommended these two drinks called Something Tropical and Double Trouble, and they were everything. I'm pretty sure I could still taste the sweet and tangy goodness! The food was a total dream. The shrimp lettuce wraps were the perfect mix of spicy and tangy, and the truffle fries were, well, truffle-icious. Overall, Stinger was a delightful find. Great food, great drinks, and even better service. I can't wait to go back and try something new! Maybe next time, I'll try the dessert menu. Just don’t order coffee it’s not a cafe!

Stayed at IHG Times Square and Nick at Stinger’s took great care of us, friendly, great service, made us feel home away from home!!!

The Stinger was a very pleasant surprise! The menu isn’t extensive and on the pricey side for some wings and burgers. However, the wings were plump and juicy. The burger was a tower of deliciousness. Our waiter was so very kind and delightful. We each had a Coney Island Pilsner which we enjoyed as well. Will definitely go back when we return to NYC.

We stopped in for a drink on our way back to our hotel after a show. It was a Monday night and not crowded, but we were told that most of the drinks on their signature cocktail menu were not available because they didn't have all of the ingredients. You would think that the signature drinks would be something that would be a priority to stock. That said, the drinks we did have were great, though definitely on the expensive side.

Heavenly drink prepared and presented by George ...we are in heaven ! Atmosphere is cozy and perfectly complete with fireplace ! I’m in love!

We stopped in after seeing a Broadway show. The cocktails were great! The signature drink, the Stinger, was fabulous and included a garnish of lemon and honey candy which our server told us was made from hives on the roof. He also recommended a variation on the Cosmo for my husband to try, and he enjoyed it very much. Service was impeccable and delightful. Highly recommended!

Staying at The Intercontinental & with DH’s status we received drink vouchers & I loved the Signature Stinger cocktail & DH thought his Moscow Mule was good & strong. We enjoyed dinner here two nights (receiving a daily $25 credit on food to help offset the hotel’s required daily $35 amenity fee). We really enjoyed the French onion soup & the salads with added protein. Flourless chocolate cake with cherries was exceptional! Excellent service from Chris who was very personable!

Enjoyed the breakfast buffet at Stingers. There is not a huge variety of food, but there is something for everyone. Eggs offered several ways, breakfast burritos, awesome fresh berries and fruit, and my favorite-steamed dumplings. The dumplings have both a chicken/pork and veggie with spinach and beans option. Plenty of breads, cereals pancakes, sausage and bacon as well. I bit pricey at $38 but it's New York after all. Make sure to look at your bill as the gratuity is already included in the price. Service was excellent and the servers anticipated needs and refilled drinks and removed soiled plates promptly.

Our experience was top notch! We had Nick as our server and he made the experience even better, very friendly and entertaining. The location was perfect, right by time square but a good distance to where it wasn’t super crowded. This is a good space to sit back, enjoy a couple drinks and appetizers and escape the hustle and bustle of the city!

We were going to an 8pm Broadway show and wanted a nearby location for a pre-theater cocktail. One would think this would not be tricky, but sadly it is. I do not understand why someone hasn't figured out there are tens of thousands of people within just a few blocks who are looking for a nice cocktail between 7 and 8pm. Anyway, we thought we would try the bar at The Intercontinental Hotel: The Stinger Bar. We ordered one cocktail and one Club Soda. The Club Soda came out in 5 minutes (the bar was maybe 20% occupied). It is super annoying when a waiter delivers one person's cocktail (or food) and the other person just sits there. Is it really that complicated? I waited for my cocktail. And waited. 20 minutes later my cocktail arrived. The waiter said there was a shift change. You know what you do when there is a shift change? You make the freakin' cocktail and then have the next shift ring it up on their shift. This is a great example where hotel rules and regulations come first and customer service comes last. I guess I will just put a bottle of vodka in my coat and drink in the street.

If you want a steak or lobster...not your spot. But, if you want something VERY tasty and not too filling, here you go. Small Plates...that’s what the kids call it. Jumping place, lots of atmosphere and the food is very, very good. Good cocktails and wine list, very friendly staff! And, they use the honey produced on the roof of the hotel!!! Good job with this concept...nailed it.

I've been staying at this hotel FOR YEARS. My stays are usually anywhere from 3-5 days to 5-7 days. I have NEVER had such poor service at this Stinger restaurant as I have in the last 24 hours. Last night, while checking in (which took 15 – 20 mins) after traveling all day I quickly went to check in with the restaurant to see if the kitchen was open while check in was dragging. They told me I had another 5 minutes to order. I replied that I’d be back in less than 5 mins to order. I came back in 3, with the manager (or security) asking me where I was going. Like, really??? I explained that I was going to order food. They replied that it has to be takeout as they were closing up. Not a "can I help you?". Nothing. Just rude. Completely contradictory to what the other server told me. I took a minute to look at the menu and told them I can’t rush a decision and left. Today, I sit down at a high top (small) and order a drink and a bottle of water. Like who orders a bottle of water? well, I did, because I'm a good sport and don't want to be cheap. I wasn’t hungry quite yet, and so I sat on my laptop for a bit. I noted after an hour and a half, or so that I was starting to get hungry but still had not even had a quality control check from the server. I see him come over and instead of asking me if I needed anything, proceeds to ask me if I’m waiting for someone, and if I am I could wait “over there”, showing me the lobby. I explained I’m not waiting for anyone, and then tell him he’s rude and ask for my bill. I was going to tip the server extra ( always tip well, usually 20% but often more if the service is great - I've given taxi drivers $100 tips just for being considerate) since I wasn’t ordering much, but after that remark he got ZERO. And I told him it was rude to ask me to leave. Then the manager from last night came over to proceed to tell me that the tables are only for dining guests…I explained that I didn’t even get a quality control check, let alone be asked if I wanted to order something, and then the manager asked me if I would be back tomorrow. I explained how much I paid for my room (not cheap – my stay here is probably more than his monthly wage), how tired and hungry I was yesterday when they were quick to usher me out at 11PM, and how I got no quality control check today, and that I wouldn’t be returning. I literally live in hotels and the service industry and I don’t recall EVER being treated so rudely by a greedy staff like this place. Utter garbage, selfish, self centered and small minded. I would avoid at all costs.

We stopped in here before a show and thought we would try the tasting flight of cocktails, as suggested on the menu. The bartender said, "No" and tried to say this was not possible although we showed him the listing on the menu. Fast forward three weeks and we came here with three others. For reasons unknown to us, the water was rude, snarky, sarcastic. We ordered a variety of appetizers and cocktails and did not appreciate the waiter's smugness throughout. This place has a great cocktail menu. They desperately need to work on customer service.

Located in the Intercontinental, The Stinger is a good choice. The drinks are pricey but well poured. The food menu is minimal but fresh with good sized portions. It is possible to split a burger and fries between 2 and be very satisfied. Recommend if you want a peaceful quality experience. Some staff members are responsive. Others are slow. Open late for after theater drinks and nibbles.

We stayed at the intercontinental and made nightly visits to The Stinger . Honestly they had more complex and tastier drinks than any of the other places in the city without the crazy crowds. Refined and beautiful atmosphere with fireplace . Not stuffy. Loved the Mint to Bee and the cocktail flights. Do not miss the Flatbread. Chorizo and Chèvre with seasonal tomatoes =perfection. Will return on our next trip to the city

great atmosphere, warm fire, well-decorated. and some terribly slow and ineffective service. we had to chase down our waiter who was more interested in chatting with one specific table to the neglect of everyone else. steak frites tough and poor quality beef.

After a great day of business meetings with colleagues, we were celebrating in the hotel's restaurant. While the server, Nick, was serving drinks, I felt his genitalia pressing into me, so I pulled away to give him more room. A few minutes later, he was back at our table, and again, I felt his body rubbing against me. I again pulled away and told him what he was doing and that it was making uncomfortable, and I asked him to be more careful. He responded by saying "it's only uncomfortable at first; then it's pleasurable. I'll give you lots of pleasure." I looked at him and he had this look on his face that frightened me. I immediately grabbed my bag and told my colleagues I had to go. I had to get out of there. I felt very violated and unsafe. Has this happened to anyone else?

Nick the waiter is AMAZING. And Lois the manager is perfect. I highly recommend the lobster guacamole and tuna poke. Best place I’m NY to relax before or after theater.

We had been here before and had poor service - but we were seeing a Broadway show and we had time for a cocktail before showtime. The Stinger is a lobby bar at The Intercontinental Hotel. It is quite large, but there is a nice gas fireplace on one wall, so it is an attractive spot for a drink on a cold New York evening. This time service was better. You would think there are many good options for food and drink in the Theater district - actually it is difficult to find good quality food and drink in this area.

You've got to hand it to the honeybees on the roof of the Intercontinental. We stopped at the Stinger for drinks and dessert. I tried the signature Stinger cocktail and also dessert made with honey from the roof. Great concept and treats. The environment is relaxed and dressy casual. Thanks for a great evening.

Nice upscale - mainly a bar - to step away from the hustle and bustle of Times Square. Limited, but good, wine selection. Above average cocktails mainly in the $20 range. Service was well below average at the tables for two of our visits (same Server both times). Service at the bar, in contrast, was prompt and lively on our last visit.
