The Campbell Apartment in Grand Central Terminal is truly a spectacular one-of-a-kind space (within a one-of-a-kind space). Formerly the luxurious office and salon of '20's mogul John W. Campbell, this fully refurbished space revives the lifestyle of that storied era.

Popular as it's become, this vast lounge inside a corner of Grand Central Terminal always feels like a secret. The 25-foot-high room, which in the 1920s housed the office and reception hall of John W. Campbell, recreates the connoisseur owner's decor with wall-to-wall, Florentine-inspired rugs, tapestry sofas and the original, colorfully painted wooden ceiling. Subtle lighting and jazz and swing tunes stir a carefree, after-work mood. Most disarming of all are the house cocktails, like "A Flapper's Delight," made with champagne, papaya juice and amaretto; it's a cookie of a drink, served in a…

Great Space, But Look and Leave Quickly!!!!!

Overpriced, rude, really rude, never had anyone be more rude. I could go on, but. life is too short and hopefully management of this gem will be too.

  • Pros: Architecture
  • Cons: Everything else

Intimate, low lit place with the best 20s atmosphere - staff, music and drinks fit the bill too.... and that was on a Tuesday night!

  • Pros: Great atmosphere, service, decor
  • Cons: Little pricey but worth it

Really unique

by kimsans at Citysearch

Went there there on a thursday with friends and was amazed at how beautiful the room was. The place was packed but it really does feel like a secret in grand central.

The hostess's were lovely and professional and after a drink at the bar we were seated near the front of the room.The only problem was are server who was wearing a suit instead of a cocktail dress like everyone else. she was very cold and abrubt and wouldn't smile at all. but who knows everyone has a bad day right? that aside I am looking forward to coming back for another drink. (and hopefully another waitress)

  • Pros: lovely ambiance, great drinks
  • Cons: Pricey, bad waitress

The Details on The Campbell Apartment

What to Drink:

The bar mixes up basics with fantastic results. Try the sweet-sour Gimlet.

When to Go:

For something special, a live jazz trio plays on Saturday nights from 9pm to midnight.

Where to Sit:

For a quieter setting and a view of the room, try the small balcony area that holds a pool table and can be reserved for parties.

Look Good:

The bar tactfully but firmly enforces a dress code, so jeans and sneakers are a no-go.

What to Drink:

Try the sweet-sour Gimlet, or for heartier types, there's Prohibition Punch--Appleton Estate VX rum, passion fruit juice and Grand Marnier, topped off at the table with champagne--which holds the knockout power of about three drinks.
