The Bar Room

Food: 3/5 the mocktail was okay but burrata was kinda meh. Nothing crazy good but overpriced comparably. Service: 3/5 as soon as ur done, the waitress hands you the receipt. I get the whole NYC thing but it makes u feel pressured to leave ASAP. Ambiance: 5/5 its kind of my vibe but might not be everyone's style. Its old fashioned but fancy and you see nicely dressed up people on their first dates etc.I think this place is a good bar if you stay at Beekman hotel but if you are not, there are other options in NYC!

Overrated and has been this way for years. I took a few colleagues here after work and it was honestly embarrassing. The 2 hostesses were beyond rude. We simply said "hello, do you have room for 4" and she snapped at us "NO... NO, we do not have any room right now!" She must have just dealt with something because our question did not warrant such a reaction. So my colleague asked when they would have room. She says 20-30 minutes. That didn't seem outrageous, so we put down our names on a wait list and grabbed drinks at the bar. I ordered an old fashioned, but somehow got a vodka martini. No offer to remake the wrong drink.For the next 2 hours, we kept checking with the hostesses when the table would be ready. Each time, they said "almost ready." For 2+ hours, we stood next to several empty tables that could have sat us. At one point, the manager came by so we asked him about the wait and why we could not sit at a table. He said it was reserved but for the entire time we were there, no one sat down in that area, so he either lied or had really poor planning skills. I don't think it was targeted because several couples and work groups were also upset. When we finished our last drink at the bar, of course, that's when we get a text that our table is ready. I pay the tab and then check in with the hostess if we can just sit for a quick bite. The hostess then says she gave our table away already! I got the text less than 5 minutes before that and we were standing right behind her. This really pissed me off to no end and after having spent thousands here on private events, I swear I will never come back after such a disrespectful and disorganized experience.

The Bar Room at the Beekman Hotel is one of the most beautiful spaces I've ever seen. It's a peak into the elegance of 19th century New York. Steps from Wall Street in the Financial District, narrow cobblestone streets pave a more calm and neighborhood feel compared to manic areas like Midtown. @thebeekmanny The Beekman was completed in 1883, the same year as the Brooklyn Bridge. It's 9 stories were actually considered a skyscraper at the time. It has quite the history given the icons that used to hang around the area like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, and Henry David Thoreau. Edgar Allen Poe published his paper The Broadway on the site. You can feel the history when you walk through the doors.They call it the living room of downtown Manhattan and easy to see why. Every nook is curated with vintage art pieces from the turn of the century.The people watching is spectacular and the food and cocktails are equally elevated. We met friends for their weekend jazz brunch which was excellent. The room comes alive with the most elaborate 30 foot Christmas tree you've ever seen. It has a peacock at the top with its feathers cascading all the way to the floor (photo # 1). Before our friends arrived, we enjoyed seats at the bar for a perfect Irish Coffee. On a cold Saturday morning what better way to warm you up than a Jameson Irish Coffee? @jamesonwhiskey The bartenders are highly skilled and friendly. They have a solid cocktail program for those that prefer complex or simple recipes. It's just a wonderfully comfortable space. Since it was early, we stuck to the usual brunch cocktails like Mimosa, Bloody Mary and Irish Coffee. Their cocktail menu looked really good and we will definitely be back to check it out. I highly recommend checking out this gem in the Financial District next time you are looking for a different New York vibe.Treat yourself and go The Beekman. Salute.

Honestly I did not expect this to be a 5/5, but it is!Food was great, service attentive and helpful. Most importantly, the setting and ambience are very nice. The high ceilings, grandiose setting and live band make this a very nice brunch or dinner option on a rainy NY day.

I wanted to check out the Beekman Hotel and stumbled upon the Bar Room which has the atrium directly above it. It's definitely an aesthetically pleasing spot with its decor including bookshelves and art on the walls. The bar has seating and there are many tables throughout. I arrived before it became extremely packed so I was able to sit at the bar but soon it became tough to even sit there as people were constantly trying to place their orders without a lot of bartenders taking them. I sat there for a few minutes and was given a menu and a glass of water. It took like 10 min to place an order and I had to really try. I ordered the Betty Smith cocktail which comes with ford's Gin, St. Agrestis Paradiso, Aquafaba, Orange, Honey. It was really delicious and refreshing. After getting my cocktail I never had any further check ins and had to ask for more water. This is definitely a popular spot with a great view of the Beekman's Atrium, great cocktails but not very good service. It still was an experience. They have a food menu along with beer, wine, and non-alcoholic cocktails. Definitely a good spot in the Financial District.

I literally live across the park so I come here very often, whether it's to do work, grab a solo drink, meet a friend, or try to meet men. The drinks are really good and the bartenders are not too pushy. Sometimes I sit a while before I order anything and no one minds. The food here is good too, and the architecture is just iconic.

We came to the Beekman Bar Room for the first stop of my girlfriend's birthday weekend world tour, as it is the most beautiful setting for a restaurant I have been to in NYC.We were seated in the middle of the atrium in huge lounge-like chairs that I would expect to be in my grandpa's house. After trying to get comfortable in these odd chairs for such a classy setting, I finally settled in and scanned my surroundings.Looking down on us were floors of venetian architecture stacked up on each other as far up as you can see, with a skylight at the top to tie them together. It has an authentic 70s New York feel to it.Around us were foreign hotel guests, finance bros, and some pretty cute couples all dressed classy as hell. That's one of my favorite things about this place, how classy everyone dresses. You'd be wildly underdressed here in jeans and a tshirt, and I love that. I miss when nicer places had dress codes, idk.I ordered a vesper, as I had just gotten a new suit jacket from Marshalls and I was feeling like James Bond in this setting. I just felt cool ordering it. "Oh yeah just a *vesper* for me..." just all casual and nonchalant.I know you don't care and I'm getting off track here, but the Marshall's suit jacket had been marked down to $60, with the original price being $300. Honestly, they could just be making that original price up. I'm such an easy get with that. Sometimes I just want to feel like I won...My Vesper did the trick and I felt like 007, especially with my baby looking FIRE. We ordered Shishito Peppers ($21), 6 oysters ($25), Waygu Burger ($33), Hanger Steak ($39).When those shishito peppers came I couldn't help but laugh as they should have been $7 for that portion. $21 is CRAZY for some peppers. The food was decent, but honestly just a little uninspired. Nothing was bad per se, but nothing is making me want to WRITE. You feel me?I'll just leave you with the Beekman Bar Room is the PERFECT place in NYC to dress up a little bit, grab a few cocktails and order a side of the fingerling potatoes. Those fingerling potatoes make me want to WRITE. IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov_reviews

I can't miss the caramelised onion dip whenever I come to NY! It's so addicting! It's dark in there and one night we were there for last call. I'm ashamed to say I licked the bowl in such a classy place. But it was late and not a lot of people were around...

3.5 for food5 for service 5 for the spaceJazz Brunch reviewNever a dull moment in this space!Steak Tartar - as expected, yum Smoked Whitefish Benedict - it's like a white fish salad croquette, pretty good.Wagyu Burger w/ Fingerling Potato - pretty yummy, fingerling Potato is very crispy. $31 for a burger quite steep though.Curry Cod - little underwhelming.Chicken Salad - dressing was tasty, radicchio and pecan see a plus.Espresso Martini was too sweet, sadly.Service was attentive and great.

Great service but super super loud place. We had to yell at each other when talking, pretty much. Cool ambiance. Super dark atmosphere. Great bathrooms.
