Midtown West, Manhattan

In 2026

Still pouring

Checked October 16, 2026.

Overview

An elegant and sophisticated slice of classic New York. Enjoying a perfect martini while soaking in the sounds of an 11 piece orchestra featured on Saturday nights is an experience well worth the $30 cover.

History

Sinatra covers with an 11-piece band

We called it an elegant slice of classic New York, and on Saturdays it had the soundtrack to match: a singer backed by an 11-piece orchestra doing Sinatra covers1. The original bar, by Connie Beale Design, was built in 1999, and Goodman Charlton Design redid it completely in 20122. It's still at 156 West 56th Street, with small plates, fine cigars and classic cocktails3.
