by Georgie Siniard on WHO could possibly not like the KING COLE BAR? I am a San Franciscan and mark this as my favorite bar in all of NYC. It is certainly the most posh bar there is and seeing people dressed well, coiffed well and impeccably dressed gentlemen of all ages is a true pleasure. In the subtle richness of the bar with its dark woods, luscious fabrics and comfortable furnishings is an oasis in a chaotic and brash city that I LOVE. SETTLING INTO A CHAIR AND BEING WAITED UPON BY A TUX ATTIRED MAN is like being in a fabulous movie. Sure the cocktails are pricey but it is all worth it. The first truly expensive burger I have ever eaten was here and I was so impressed that I got a menu with Old King Cole and had it framed for my kitchen. The King Cole Burger was truly the best I'd ever eaten and it was $23.00 and that was about 10 years ago. It was so beautifully plated and the accoutrements were so fresh and delicious, plus the french fries were incredible. Today that same burger is only $28.00. In 2006 I had the DB Moderne Foie Gras Burger and it was $32.00 and a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, I had to return it because it was so bad. The King still gets my vote. One thing for sure is: DRESS LIKE A LADY in A BEAUTIFUL DRESS MEN COME SPIFFED UP IN YOUR BEST SUIT & TIE with A CRISP SHIRT and Well Polished Shoes LOOKING BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME Adds to The EXPERIENCE AND YOU'LL APPRECIATE HO W GREAT THE EXPERIENCE IS!
by Gina R. on The food is great here... especially since you don't get teeny servings. The drinks are fun, and they have a good beer list. The decor is great and fun. I was here for a birthday party over the weekend and the staff was excellent in helping us out! They were so nice and patient with our big group. Definitely a great place for groups, and hanging out on the roof deck is wonderful! A great hang out and a nice place for dinner! Go here soon!!
by Anastacia Kratky on Do you all remember when this place first opened and was basically impossible to get into? Yeah, that's not really a problem any more. I have very specific rules for clubs, and they consist of not waiting in line and not paying cover. Fortunately, when you have a big group of people, this is easiest to solve via bottle service. We came here for Christmas Eve, aka Matzoh Ball, aka Jews Storm the City. The music was good, the service was decent, the crowd was good looking and fun. Points off for random people bumrushing our table, and while our waitress tried to kick them out, they just kept coming back. Overall, it was a decent time, but nothing special as far as the NYC bar and club scene is concerned. If there was someone special spinning there, I'd go again, maybe.
