What People Are Saying About Lobby Bar at the Bowery Hotel

In Short – This expansive hotel lobby bar cuts quite the luxurious picture with its tassel-trimmed, pink velvet upholstery, looming tapestries hung atop murals, hanging lanterns and sandstone fireplaces. Well-heeled patrons lounge about the low-slung furniture as if they own the place, while more serious imbibers sit on plush stools in the bartender's enclave amid taxidermy, paintings of hounds and expertly prepared Pimms. A cabinet of curiosa, including dusty bottles and books, may seem a charming detail, but it falls short of inspiring any meaningful conversation. – –…

Turned away from Restaurant and Hotel Bar
by melpan1
Unless you're a guest and white, don't bother. My date and I went to the Hotel Bar around 11 pm this past Saturday. We were stopped in the lounge area and told we would not be able to go to the bar, they were at capacity and the lounge/bar was for guests only. My friend kept walking and looked inside only to notice that the lounge was no where near full capacity. When called to speak with a manager, his response was that the lounge/bar are for guests who spend "A LOT OF MONEY TO STAY AT THE HOTEL." He then backtracked to add that unless they are not at full capacity will they let "outsiders" in. Least to say, that was a lie because they were not full at all. Also went to the restaurant a couple months ago on a Monday night at 10 pm and we were turned away because we were dark skinned. The host and hostess turned their backs to us when we walked in and refused to acknowledge us. When we finally did force them to acknowledge us, they said they were overbooked and could not accommodate us (on a Monday night no less) - ignoring that the restaurant was half empty. The same manager had no resolution for the matter. Unless you're a guest and white, don't bother. Like the manager said, they cater only to people who spend a lot of money to stay at their hotel. How sad. DISGUSTED!
Rude service
by acporter
The place is oddly set up with a large table service area out front and a tiny bar area tucked around the back. My boyfriend and I dared to step foot outside the bar and take our drinks into the table service area to look around and enjoy the scene. Immediately, we were approached by a very rude little man who said that we weren't allowed to be there and ordered us to leave and step back inside the bar. It was very strange. So then we asked if he could let us know when a table opened up. We went back inside the back area, ordered another round, and never heard from the staff again. As we were leaving, we noticed that the place was half empty with plenty of available tables, but were never notified. Of course, we had been banished to the back area bar, so we weren't able to go out and look for ourselves to see that that place was dead. The policies at this place are just plain strange, but the staff apparently really enjoy enforcing them. Definitely not worth the $15 drinks.
The Details on Lobby Bar at the Bowery Hotel
Know Before You Go:
Technically, the bar is just for guests of the hotel, but if you look and behave like you belong there, it's unlikely that the concierge will ask you to produce a room key.
Patio:
The lobby bar connects to an intimate outdoor patio area in back. For prime warm-weather seating, get there early.
Look Good:
Between the mounted deer antlers and the stuffed bulldog, you might want to leave your vegan friends at home (though, rather ironically, the patio in the backyard is dog-friendly).
