Bookmarks

Beautiful space, bad cocktails

by silverfaze at Citysearch

My friend and I came here on a Wednesday night. We were surprised by how tiny the space is! It is tastefully decorated both inside and outside. I think it's a great place for a date, but definitely not a place to meet other people. I would stay away from the cocktails on their menu. My friend and i tried 2 different cocktails and they tasted like shampoo ! yuck!! If you go there stick with your normal drinks (Tanq & tonic, etc.) The waitresses were polite and delivered our drinks quickly. Would consider go back here on a date.

• Pros: really cute outdoor bar, pretty inside too, good for a date
• Cons: very small, bad tasting cocktails!

A lovely den of thieves.

Yummy Drinks, pretty view. POOOOOOOR service. I was overcharged 362 dollars, it's been five days and they still haven't gotten it back to me!!!!! Drinkers beware!

• Pros: Yummy and innovative drinks, pretty view.
• Cons: charge and service

Rooftop Chic

by YazzFlute at Citysearch

Even with the cold weather, Bookmarks is a great place to go to take off the edge after work. You can smoke outside, if you choose, and then come cuddle up by the fireplace. I was introduced to the bar by a private party and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. Then as I came back on my own, I appreciated more and more about the bar. The menu has a delicious variety of signature cocktails with literary names. My favorite is the Hemingway. I love to go on Tuesday nights because it's pretty quiet and the hilarious bartender is awfully cute. They also now get high end bar food delivered from the bistro downstairs, which adds an even better after work treat. Seriously, with good food, better drinks, awesome service & fantastic ambiance, this place can't be beat.

• Pros: Drinks, Ambiance, Bartenders
• Cons: Bathroom one floor up

Nice Space, average service

Nice terrace view. $12 vodka-club's. Zero-personality bar waitresses. Nice for quick pre-dinner after work drink. Terrace gets full by 7pm.

• Pros: View
• Cons: Service

Very Classy

by Chinapink1970 at Citysearch

I was just there this past Saturday evening and I have to say that I had a really nice time with my friends.

Loved the outside rooftop space. Drinks a little on the pricey side but it's Manhattan what do you expect.

Best thing I loved is that I am able to have my cocktail and my cigarette at the same time! It is so nice to be able to relax in a chic atmosphere.

Great place to go after work if you want to avoid a crowd or do not want to be "seen"

They make a killer martini!

Overall, I would have to say I was very pleased and definitely plan on returning in the future.

• Pros: Very Classy - Good Martinis
• Cons: Bathroom a little inconvenient but the atmosphere outweighs this small tid bit
