The Promontory

Promontory is just okay. The food is good. Tbe ambience is good. But not good enough to justify their prices. I appreciate them for being a mainstay in the new 53rd street, however, and one of the only classy cocktail bars. If you are not feeling too lazy to go downtown however I would head elsewhere.

Overall an okay experience. We went on a Monday night so it wasn't busy. The ambiance is nice and we chose to sit at the bar. The highlight of the trip was bartenders Angela and Bob who gave great service.
The cocktails were good, my favorite being the frozen drink, Perry Mason, and the new drink with the pistachio and rum raisin.
The food was nothing to get excited about however, and would really only come here for drinks.

The venue itself is always cool... I've hit up some cool events but the event I was attending tonight was TRASH!!! A straight slick finesse... A mandatory coat check? What for? A Don C event that doesn't include Don C? How Sway? Charging $200+ for a $50 bottle of Remy? $12 for a crafted cocktail that Remy should've sponsored? I'm good luv... Enjoy

This is one of my favorite places. I love coming here to see artists. They usually have simple drinks to try.( nice) Our table was not super close to the next one. Had a great view to the stage. The only thing I didn't like is the long wait on the stairs. It seems like everytime I go, we have to wait on the stairs for a minute. Other than that, it is a great place to go.
