What a find. Great bartenders, an extensive selection of delicious rums, and live music later on certain nights. I sat at the bar, and the patrons there were friendly and the bartenders were extremely helpful. They can make a number of drinks, both off menu and the carefully crafted menu drinks. The atmosphere is dark with low tungsten lighting at night. A great spot. I'll note that Yelp lists as one of their most popular drinks the "Hemingway El Dorado White". That drink does not exist. If you ask for anything related to Hemingway, you will get a daiquiri. El Dorado White is one of their light rums and that alcohol can be combined with any mixers to make a delicious drink but the Hemingway El Dorado really isn't a thing.

The Rum House exceeded all expectations for a cozy and flavorful evening! The ambiance was warm and inviting, the perfect setting to enjoy their expertly crafted cocktails and unique snacks.We tried the Hot Buttered Rum, Mai Tai, and Classic Daiquiri, and each drink was outstanding. The Hot Buttered Rum was rich and comforting, the perfect blend of warmth and spice for a chilly evening. The Mai Tai was vibrant and refreshing, striking just the right balance of sweet and tart. The Classic Daiquiri was simple yet elevated, with fresh citrus and perfectly balanced flavors.To accompany our drinks, we enjoyed the mixed nuts and salt and vinegar chips--both were delicious and paired wonderfully with the cocktails. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients truly stood out. Excellent service. The Rum House is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional drinks in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Decent spot in midtown for drinks, but nothing spectacular. While Rum is in the name, they do serve other liquors too (and have an extensive cocktail list beyond rum-based drinks).Came on a Wednesday after their HH finished at around 6:30 pm. There were reserved signs on all the tables, but apparently it's just a placeholder-- I stood around for a bit until someone helped seat me. Servers were generally friendly and nice.You can order at the bar or at the table. I personally don't like rum, so I got a mezcal based drink that was pretty solid. Prices are standard at around $18-$20 a drink. The space is relatively small overall and dimly lit but in a good way.Would I go out of my way to come back here again? No. But if I was in the area or someone suggested coming here I wouldn't be disappointed either.

Some girl friends and I came here for some drinks before dinner. On a weeknight, it was busy but slowly died down by the time we left around 8pm. It looks like many people come by for happy hour after work nearby. Even though there were lots of reserved tables, we were able to easily grab a table for four.While many drinks are rum based, there were many other options as well. I opted for the Rum Old Fashioned with The Real McCoy ($19), which the server recommended over the other Old Fashioned. The drink is a classic --nice and strong.Overall, chill and intimate spot but nothing too special. I did appreciate that they didn't rush us when we stayed behind to chat after paying our bill.

Great piano bar, however you won't hear any keys until about 8:30p. Contrary to it's name, the bar has a great selection of spirits from beer, rum, whiskey, tequila and more. They also serve light snacks such as popcorn.Lastly, the service was very welcoming.

Could have been 5 stars with -more availability on snacks section of menu. (They were out of two things before even dinner time) -more food options in general. -better staffed behind bar. Little slow for my taste. The atmosphere is great, location cool.Clean / good staff / and nice service.

Bartender Troy is awesome! He is so knowledgeable and innovative when making cocktails. We really enjoyed the vibe of the bar and the nightly performances. Our favorite act played on 12/22...a true New York experience. I highly recommend this place, especially if you are staying at Hotel Edison.
