Recently opened and already one of New York City's premiere nightlife destinations, The World Bar is on the ground floor of the exclusive Trump World Tower condominium and overlooks the United Nations and its beautiful gardens. The classically contemporary space which is the first U.S. project of Brazil's most celebrated hospitality architect features soaring 30-foot ceilings, book-matched oak walls, and a "floating" glass mezzanine. Uniquely elegant and very conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan, The World Bar is ideal for cocktail receptions, dinners and business meetings for up to 150…

The Scene – Be warned: Donald Trump's bar near the United Nations doesn't soar above the city or ooze with international intrigue. The beige, sparsely populated room holds square lobby chairs and a central round, outward-facing banquette with wannabe-funky, stalagmite-like tables. Downbeat house music and a TV screen broadcasting the night's game fill in the mismatched picture, while a gracious staff waits on suited and casually dressed guests. – – The Draw – What the bar lacks in ambience, it makes up for with a knockout drink list. Most remarkable is the $50 World…

Fun, elegant and polished staff make it a must-return
by wallstreetguy
Yes, yes, of course had to have the World Cocktail after seeing it on "Three Sheets" and it was fun. Nice professional staff, lovely furnishings, a decent shrimp cocktail and some liquid gold made for a very pleasant Friday evening stop.

A Pleasant Surprise
by mitsy4400
When first invited out with friends to the World Bar, I have to admit that I was not necessarily looking forward to the evening. I was expecting ridiculously overpriced drinks in a stuffy pretentious place. Needless to say I was very pleasantly surprised to finding myself having one of my most enjoyable evenings out in a while (and one of the best Manhattan's too!). The staff is unbelievably accomdating even though our party was nearly 3 times the size of our reservation. The drinks were superb and the big screen to watch The Apprentice made it all the more fabulous. I will definitely be returning!
The Details on The World Bar
What to Drink:
In lieu of cigars, try a unique response to the smoking ban: a Smokeless Manhattan. Churchill's port, Laphroaig scotch and orange bitters (but no nicotine) make up the bar's liquid version of a Marlboro.
The Extras:
Snack on mini-burgers, but avoid the cheese and sausage plate with supermarket-grade fixings.
