by Rodrick Vidra on When I walked into the King Cole Bar to meet a friend before we caught a broadway show, I was beaming already. Famous cocktails, A large mural behind the bar. Hmm - going by my experience with the one other place that has these two in common with the King Cole Bar (Angel's Share, duh), this sounds like a success formula. Clearly, even the mad servers at Angel's Share who run after me occasionally for tips AFTER I've tipped them 20% didn't prepare me for the underwhelming experience at King Cole Bar. Drinks: Was the Red Snapper pre-made? Probably, because they brought it out to me in exactly 30 seconds. Either that, or these guys have the worlds fastest mixologist. Was the Jazz Me Blues (grey goose pear, st. germain, champagne) delicious? A resounding yes. Moolah: I'm hardly one to raise my eyebrows at expensive cocktails. But a $24 dollar price tag on a cocktail made even me flinch a little bit. Ambiance: Clearly, the rich and the famous in the city love their drinks. The place was brimming at 6:30 PM on a Thursday, with people in Tiffanys and Bottega Venetas spilling out casually from the overflowing little space. Inside, it is warm, the the mural looking down at you, Old King Cole silently laughing. It's classy. Service: This was actually the sorest point of the evening. My friend and I slipped into the only place we could find, at the side of the bar. The server joked with us for a little bit and told us he'll try to stay out of our way. He didn't. During the course of the next hour, he politely nudged me (understandable). another server rammed the bar flap on my arm because I, like an idiot, had to go ahead and place my arm on the bar top (accidents do happen). bartender took away those delicious nuts from right under my nose after I'd ALREADY told him once that I was still working on them! (WTF). How I wish I had better things to say, but I've really seen better, you know. I'm used to cocktail bars treating me like I'm special. Because I am.
by Reinaldo Chesick on I went here to see my favorite rapper perform. I have been to some hip hop shows that are impersonal and just plain suck. This was one of the best shows I had ever been to. Drinks were a little expensive, but the waiter service made up for it. Best part of the place was how comfortably crowded it was. There was room to move around but the place was far from even the least bit empty.
by tera m. on It's Monday night and there is absolutely nothing better than listening to talented musicians perform in a venue that is so intimate. It's being able to have that candlelit dinner and light conversation, but by the end of your evening, your table has been transformed into a cocktail holder and you're still able to enjoy a quicker pace without leaving and going from bar to bar. it's even better when you come with someone that you've known for a long time and can comfortably share a blues/jazz filled evening. My favorite was when a woman who had been trying to get all of the couples in the room to dance, settled on making the single men in the room dance with her and then took the microphone and sang 'Happy Birthday, to Ya'll' with sultriest smokers voice you've heard. What a great night.
