The Scene – Inside the swank, earth-toned atrium of the Tribeca Grand Hotel, vases of dramatic branches tower over plush banquettes, gorgeous servers uniformed in slinky asymmetric dresses traipse between tables, and posh patrons people-watch from the streamlined bar. The high ceiling reaches over seven levels of guest rooms, expanding the space to cathedral-like heights. The bar is named for its Church Street location, but a mod grotto of electric candles lends the sanctum of a temple--to worship the perfect cocktail. – – The Draw – Pricey, well-poured drinks--like…

Amazing!
by dobrydendavid
Incredibly gorgeous, wonderful wait staff, delicious drinks - what else could you ask for? This is one of the best lounges I have ever been to. I don't think I've ever been attended to in such a polite and professional way. YOU MUST GO!
- Pros: Everything!
- Cons: Nothing

The worst bar experience I've had in the 10 yrs I've lived here. The staff was overtly hostile. The service could not have been slower, even when there's hardly anyone there. The drinks sounded creative and interesting but actually tasted really bad. Two different drinks I ordered were literally undrinkable, even with valiant effort. I don't get it. This place is old and tired and tacky inside -- so what's with all the attitude? I wanted to like it there because I like Tribeca. I really tried. But there were just no redeeming qualities at all.
- Pros: none
- Cons: hostile staff, huge attitude, bad tasting drinks

Fun new cocktails!
by milkcrate57
I had not been into Tribeca Grand Hotel in a while but, recently was drawn in by a friend to attend an Art Brut show... Anyway, I really enjoyed the cocktails- a bartender told me that there is a completely new list... something like 30 signature drinks! I had a royal gin fizz with egg whites and some fancy gin and fresh lemon and sugar syrup- so simple yet tasty. There was also a cool cocktail with a bison grass vodka mixed with black currants... really good! I am told that bison grass is an aphrodisiac? Last cocktail of the night was something called a Five Spice- cognac and calvados, with cherry puree and ginger... really a great, complex (lots going on) cocktail.
After three drinks I was feeling good, so I switched to wine... pleasantly surprised with the selection. I drank a glass of a really old vine grenache.
- Pros: cocktails, wine, bartender knowledge
The Details on Church Lounge
Know Before You Go:
DJs play to the crowd. On weekends, expect a party of pop, rock, and new wave. But if weeknight clientele is on the older side, lite-FM favorites--James Taylor, Carole King, Simon and Garfunkel---take precedence.
Where to Sit:
In the warmer months, snag a table outside in the velvet-roped sidewalk section.
The Extras:
A full American menu is offered by day and night to accommodate hotel guests and walk-in diners. Brunch is served on Sundays from 10am to 3pm.
