Wikipedia says of Bartender Jack, "He mixes strongest, yet sweetest Old Fashioned this side of the Hudson." Ginger margarita was also great. The Prohibition Punch is basically a $17 scorpion bowl tho.
For the perfect Campbell experience, visit in the afternoon when crowds are lower and you can enjoy the gorgeous space and terrific jazz soundtrack. It gets pretty crazy busy and loud in the evening.
A very cool concept, enter this hidden lounge and be transported into a classic '20s era with snazzy jazz old-school décor. Try their signature drink , Prohibition Punch .
Isn’t speakeasy , but really hidden and real gem bar . One the best wine I tried here, intimate atmosphere with great visual interior support. Ideal for a date, serving food till 23:30
Classic vibe done right. Tucked away in a quite corner of The GCT, The Campbell is old world charm. Such a Manhattan staple that is elegant and cool at all times. Drinks and ambience are timeless
The clientele is all upmarket, the drink prices are among NY's highest, and it gets crowded . But it's also a great place to meet and have a drink, or just getting together for an end-of-day cocktail .
Old school New York. No jeans , no tshirts and amazing cocktails . Perfect place to start a fancy night on the town .
If you are young and have tattoos please make sure youre dressed to the nines. I had the luxury of being stared at with laser death eyes from a 50 year old woman, her husband and their friends.
Try to go a bit off-hours so you can feel time slow down and relish the cocoon-like feel of the dark lounge . Do take note: proper attire is required (no jeans , sneakers , shorts , etc). Read more
Formerly the office and salon of 1920s finance mogul John W. Campbell , the bar boasts a menu of gin-laden "cocktails from another era" like the Robber Baron and Flapper's Delight. Read more
A unique speakeasy attached to Grand Central Terminal with great cocktails . It's a wonderful after work spot or to bring a date. Try the prohibition punch .
The space was once the office of American financier John W. Campbell , a member of the New York Central Railroad's board of directors. Great atmosphere, waitresses in black dresses and pearls are cute .
Yes, Mr. Campbell once lived here; and you are invited to come up and have a cocktail in his 1923 Florentine-style living room. The gifted mixologist behind the bar crafts a marvelous martini .
Enter through Cipriani on the balcony at Grand Central & you'll feel as if you have entered a bygone era. Drinks are expensive ($15 martini ) but the atmosphere is worth it. Reserve a table in advance.
Prohibition punch is really good & their goat cheese & sundried tomatoes flatbread pizza . Gossip girl scenes were shot here! Speakeasy inside grand central station!
This cocktail destination has fallen on hard times, serving Absolut and supermarket Prosecco to indifferent Metro–North commuters. The room is still pretty, at least.
Classic drinks place. Once the office of a wealthy financier, workers who discovered it during a renovation thought it was an apartment because it had a shower . (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
the $19 prohibition punch is so worth it! they pour in fancy champagne to top off your glass when they bring it to you... as you watch from your red plush chair!
Old world classic bar vibes. Great stop whilst waiting for people at grand central to start your night or waiting for a train back for a last tipple
Tasty drinks! Got the Flapper (with Papaya , champagne , amaretto ) and the truffle popcorn was Amazing! ... Way expensive though :/
It's a truly magnificent place, frozen in time... makes you feel like you are in another era! Try the Prohibition Punch !!!
Great spot next to GCT for drinks, though a bit pricey . Ambience and service rock. Try the chicken quesadillas (tangy ) and the truffle popcorn .
GORGEOUS space, friendly staff but unbearably LOUD until much later at nite eg at 7:30 we couldn't hear each other by 11pm it was perfect!!
A classy stomping ground for the well-heeled professionals who can afford the pricey drinks. Your best tactic: dress up and carry a $20.just enough for one drink. If you don't score after that, leave.
Hidden away next door to Grand Central, gorgeous Art Deco decor and ambience. Pricey drinks but worth the experience
The cocktails are not cheap but you're paying for well-made drinks in an amazing setting so it's well worth it. Sad to see it close
Been very lucky to see this place. The cocktails are so amazing, you would lick the glass if you could!
Pricy cocktails in Grand Central but a neat speakeasy feel for a more intimate get together than just bud lights at Beer Bar .
Had to try the prohibition punch after a guy at the bar tried to sell it to me and I must say it was worth it! Have the prohibition punch when your at this bar .
One of my fav bar spots in NYC. Elegant, old NYC charm. Perfect spot for cocktails on a cold night...if you can find the entrance. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
One of the few strong midtown cocktail spots that I can think of. Drinks are fine, but it's a great space for the area.
Yes, you can probably find a better and cheaper cocktail elsewhere. But you come to the legendary Campbell Apartment , which is located literally within Grand Central, for the history.
Wow, this place is great. Lively but not crowded , pricey but not outrageous, dark but not hard to see. Live jazz played (maybe a bit too loud ), but service was great. Try the bayerd fizz or punch.
Beautiful space & extensive menu of "cocktails from another era.". Try the Prohibition Punch , sip at the bar or cozy up by the fireplace . http://MichelleC.tv
Come here for a bar with history tucked in the corner… came here in the afternoon with no hassle
Ask for a sazerac if you fancy . They take their Southern drinks seriously. ????????
In Grand Central Station and is a testament to the grandiosity of a different area. The space originally served as a private salon for 1920′s financial mogul John W. Campbell .
One of my favorite bars .Fantastic cocktails , attentive staff , and great ambiance. A little snobby (no jeans/sneakers) and expensive-but totally worth it for at least one drink.
Gorgeous place, looks like they stole the ceiling from a Tibetan temple or some such. There was a jazz duo when we were there, delightful!
The prohibition punch was outstanding. Old fashioned was strong and great! Cool setting! Little snobbish with dress code no t-shirts!
To step back into the 1920s, head to this swanky spot somewhat hidden inside Grand Central. These days the stylish 25-foot-high room attracts an upscale crowd. Try the "Flapper's Delight" cocktail .
Hidden gem of a cocktail bar at Grand Central station. Like transporting back to another era.
Love the prohibition punch ! Not sure what changes are coming. Hope they don't change it too much. The classy feel is what makes it special.
A hidden gem from another era. The cocktails are made & served really quickly too.
Excellent place to wait for a last train on a Wednesday night
As if you enter the Gryffindor dormitory room at Hogwarts, but then hidden away in Grand Central Station. In short ; AWESOME!
Established 1923 as an office used for semi-public entertainment until 1957. Restored in 1999 as a public bar , restoring the walls, ceiling, & safe and matching the new bar . Updated again 2006.
We went in the afternoon. It was quiet and chill and we had a great bartender . Highly recommended.
Amazing space! Cocktails for $17-20. Try strawberry gin !
Great little speakeasy spot semi-hidden within Grand Central. Fantastic outdoor patio for summer drinks .
An amazing store, spectacular service, the best products, but all this has its price. - Gustavo Avelar
One of the best places for a variety of oysters! The Maine lobster is great too. - Corinne Kang
Gourmet groceries/food hall. Everything is artisanal and fresh. Definitely plan to spend some time here if you're not a local! - Karen
The fried chicken sandwich was excellent. Great coleslaw and mayo sauce. Fries were spiced well! - Prad Nelluru
Really roomy and classy bar for Manhattan. Loved the decor and vibe, spaciously laid out! - Ruchi Bansal
The food and drinks are pricy but worth it. Get the Ten Dollar Pretzel....and their French toast dessert! - Bonnie Carpenter
This place never fails to impress me. Probably my best park in the big apple. Yoga classes, live music, nice surroundings, books and great waffle place, could you ask for more? - Joury AlS
Excellent trendy salads and their burgers are to die for. Nice pickled veggies in a jar too! - Ilse
Everything is good here! I would recommend going in the evening because the scenery is beautiful. Even in the winter time here you can't go wrong. - Pamela Benford
