What People Are Saying About Stone Rose

Featured Review

Karen Hudes

Contributor

Can an entranceway filled with ultra-bright mall lighting set the mood for a glamorous night out? Hotel-bar titan Rande Gerber is betting on it with his expansive lounge on the fourth floor of Columbus Circle's upscale Time Warner Center. Once inside, the lights are low, yet the energy remains as the noise of the enormous after-work crowd bounces off marble floors and glass walls. A sweeping view of Central Park and Broadway is the most impressive design element in a room full of square, lobby-ish chairs and banquettes.

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
In addition to the big-name restaurants on the floor, check out Asiate in the adjoining Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
Know Before You Go:
Smokers beware: It's three flights down to get outside.
Look Good:
If you've got a large party in tow, book this Columbus Circle dazzler, for 50 to 200.

  1. Nice view of the park and Columbus Circle.
  2. terrible waste of a great location and ambience.
  3. The ambience is good if all you are looking for is a noisy place with lots of men in suits and peroxide blonde waitresses with silicone in short dresses.
  4. Tables by window have an incredible view of park.
  5. The view is amazing as you stare out into columbus circle.
  6. didn't really like the atmosphere there.
  7. We tried to make the best of the situation, after all the view really is beautiful, but the flirtatious staff and long waits for expensive drinks made this a terrible date.
  8. by the way, this place does have a beautiful layout and view of the circle/park but i would rather have spent my money at TGIF's and tipped the waitress with "flair" and a good attitude 50% of my bar bill.
  9. Very cool furniture and lightning, nice cocktails and a beautiful view of central park from the 5th floor of the AOL Time Warner building, and although the Mandarin Oriental which lies overhead on the 35th floor has a better view, it is often more crowded
  10. My advice, go there once, enjoy the CP views and one drink, then go as quickly as you can and never come back.
  11. horrible service, rude staff, trashy atmosphere
  12. The view was great.
  13. Randy Gerber needs to stop in and see what his staff are up to - nice view - trashy staff - I will not go back
  14. We sat on the couches, enjoyed the view and talked to ourselves as we were separated from the rest of the walk-in crowd.
  15. The cool marble dance floor will heat up with a world renowned DJ spinning sets of hip hop, rock, dance and 80's and the warm rosewood paneled nooks sets the perfect ambiance for when you want to chill.

  1. Let's just say that there is a reason why the bar's service concentrates on just two points - bosoms and buds of pretty waitresses (& muscles of black suite managers, if you add one more).
  2. My advice, go there once, enjoy the CP views and one drink, then go as quickly as you can and never come back.
  3. Very good drink list, with some amazing fresh fruit martinis.
  4. The drinks are great, and I loved the food.
  5. But the drinks were overpriced.
  6. Good place to go with friends if you like lounges, not so sure if it's a good place to meet people, but like I said, bar area was crowded but didn't see any cute guys.
  7. The drinks are a nice pour and the DJ spins some good music.
  8. thursday. There was a d.j. playing the vibe was totally upbeat we had a ton of specialty drinks that were great and had service was very friendly and fast at the bar.

  12. My friends and I ordered appitizers, chicken fingers were really great, a bottle of wine and cocktails.
  13. (What is this place a big singles bar for the staff to meet people?

worst in a long time

by UnlimitedFurniture

Although in good location poor service and nasty attitude of the staff will run this place into the ground. Waitress identified as 23 Tenille on the receipt was very rude and seemed annoyed. Our group of about 50 people on a very slow night received very poor service and only frowns. The manager Russ kept on interrupting our conversations with ridiculous request to move to different parts of the venue and order drinks from the bar because the waitress was not making enough tips and was being confused by so many people ordering drinks. I would stay away from this place at all costs.

Spend New Year's Eve 2011 at the glamorous Stone Rose and have a New Year's celebration with true New York flair.

The most glamorous party in Manhattan is located at the premier address of Manhattan, Stone Rose at the Time Warner Center. Rated as the swankiest lounge in New York City by Vogue Magazine, Stone Rose emanates style and sophistication. The creation of hotel-bar conglomerate The Gerber Group, Stone Rose, is an expansive 5,500 square foot lounge located on the fourth floor of the prestigious five-star Time Warner Center, unequivocally the most celebrated address on the perimeter of Central Park.

Known the world over as the lounge destination for the privileged and the beautiful, Stone Rose at the Time Warner Center has played host to many celebrities, socialites, fashionistas and young financiers. We hate to name drop, so we won't!

Stone Rose exudes a sensual aura where the lights are dim and the energy is high. The sweeping views from the expansive floor to ceiling walls of windows overlooking Central Park and Columbus Circle are incomparable. Stone Rose, a perfect backdrop to ring in 2011! The decor of posh banquettes, plush sofas and geometric chairs accents the sexual undertones of STONE (masculinity) and ROSE (femininity). The contrasting elements define this watering hole to the fabulous. The cool marble dance floor will heat up with a world renowned DJ spinning sets of hip hop, rock, dance and 80's and the warm rosewood paneled nooks sets the perfect ambiance for when you want to chill.

Stone Rose is your New Year's Eve 2011 destination of choice to revel, romance, dance & merry-make!

Horrible and very rude service from their management. Overpriced.
