What a pleasant surprise! A spacious bar with plenty of seating and standing room, and offers some delicious food items, what's not to love? My cocktail, the Amaro Colada, was so delicious with its notes remniscent of a pina colada but with more heft and less sugar; I downed multiple of this drink during my time at the bar, and I typically do not like cocktails. The fried cat fish was definitely a highlight of the food, lightly battered and fried but has a very satisfying chew texture. The place does take reservations, and it does not get extremely loud unlike many bars! read more

Grrat cocktails and great spot for a drink near grand central compared to most of the sports bars in the area. This spot has a good drinks menu and has a lot of space so doesn't feel crammed. read more

Great bar with amazing drinks and food. This bar is near my office so my coworkers and I frequent it a lot but only because it's a truly fantastic bar--and we're pretty picky. First off, the ambiance is stellar. A perfect place for a post work day or pre dinner drink. Every single drink I've gotten here whether it be wine or a cocktail has been delicious. My favorite however, is the espresso martini. It's so delectable and has a perfect hint of chocolate. We've also gotten things to pick at like fries and hummus, all great. Lastly, service here is excellent. The bar tenders are very personable and friendly. 10/10 read more

Albert's is such a pretty upscale venue. Drinks were great, prices are on par with what you'd find around the area. Only downside is that it can get super packed and kinda loud. It's like everyone in the nearby offices goes here after work. Reservations highly recommended, though it may not help because it gets so crowded anyway. Would come back earlier next time to try more cocktails and the food! read more

An upscale bar in midtown that is always packed right after work with individuals between 21-30 predominately. There is a sizable selections of cocktails and some beer and wine as well. The place itself is massive. There is a lot of tables, but you need a reservation, otherwise you need to stand and it does feel crowded. Despite how busy it is, bar tenders are fast and attentive. Pricey for the area, but it is a nicer bar, so it checks out. Would come again. read more

The charcuterie might as well have been from Duane Reade, and between that and my two drink drinks, it was over $100. I don't have enough time to list the places that I would rather go to for two drinks and one appetizer in the city, but absolutely pass on this place. read more

Place was quite busy for a Tuesday, both indoor and outdoor seating. Fun, loud bar atmosphere. Thankfully we made reservations so we were seated immediately. They do a variety of martinis for $15 during happy hour. They also have beers on tap and more craft cocktails. Drinks were pretty good. Chicken pot pie was flaky and delicious - felt like a warm hug. Fluke crudo was just okay. read more

RATING: 8.3/10 PRO TIP: Come here for a casual spot to grab some surprisingly quality drinks, small bites and in a spacious place that won't have you waiting on line forever. Perfect date spot, post-work drink, or quieter spot to hang with friends impromptu. DRINKS The drinks are thoughtfully and well crafted for a casual spot like this, and will surprise you. Do I think it goes on the world's best bars/NYC? Not necessarily, but I will say that for a place of its caliber it is probably one of its best, in that it is probs one of my now favorite places to grab a casual drink, without much fuss or a long wait, in a beautiful, dimly lit and sleek ambience. AMARO SOUR - in particular was quite delicious and had a lot of depth. FOOD SPATZLE MAC N CHEESE POPCORN MONKFISH** - These two were the best food items of the night, both very shareable. The popcorn monkfish might just be their star item, and is quite fresh, with a nice frittery fry on them. SHOESTRING FRIES - solid, what you want when you order fries. ARANCINI - they use black wild rice which gave it kind of like a tough, brown rice texture and I actually didn't enjoy this at all lol. The marinara was not enough to save it from this dry, chewy flavor. Classic arancinis are melt in your mouth soft and cheesy on the inside. Creative take, but would rather have a regular arancini. FINAL CATEGORY: GREAT (terrible / bad / ok / good / GREAT / excellent) read more

Albert's Bar for the win anytime of day Bunch, quick appetizer, or dinner. I have been to Albert's many times and I adore the ambiance, service and food. My recent visit was for the bottomless brunch with a few friends and i am really happy we decided to make Albert's the choice. Our waitress was fantastic and kept the drinks coming which I must say they have quite the selection to choose from on the bottomless menu; everything from mimosas to espresso martinis. We were all delighted with our food choices, here is a quick rundown of what we had: For the table: - Breakfast Nachos (so much cheese! I would highly recommend) - Banana Bread French Toast Sticks (not super banana tasting, but very good!) Individual Food: - Heirloom Sandwich (so much flavor and I love the green tomatoes!) - this dish is great for vegans! - Sausage, Egg & Cheese (tastes like an elevated McDonald's breakfast sandwich) Yum! - Avocado Toast W/ Salmon (the salmon was perfect and this is a great choice if you like lighter dishes) Everything really hit the spot and everyone was very pleased by the end of the meal. One thing I did want to mention is that Albert's also has a great happy hour ($15 dollar cocktails) my favorites are: - Dirty Martini - Gibson - pickle martini If you live in or are visiting NYC I highly recommend checking out Albert's Bar! You will not be disappointed. read more

Great bar/restaurant. I had the amazing Vanessa as my bartender. She guided me to the hamburger and she was not wrong. She made one of the best old fashions I've ever had. They were even willing to try to put the Padres game on for me since the Knicks and Yankees weee done with their games. Great food and outstanding customer service. read more

Had a great time here for date night! We came for jazz happy hour, which is from 3 to 6 PM. The cocktails are also $15 for martinis so you save a few dollars. No deals for food, unfortunately. For two of us, we ordered the popcorn coconut shrimp, the charred octopus and kale salad, as well as the mortadella and burrata sandwich. The sandwich was definitely my favorite, it was so good and the portion size was really nice as well! We had a great server who was super attentive and very friendly. I also loved the decor of the restaurant, it was very reminiscent of the 1920s. read more

Lovely meal here for brunch. Attentive service, nice food and nice atmosphere. The rock shrimp burger was nice, but I would have liked more of the toppings and I think for the price it should come with fries. My friend enjoyed the grilled zucchini focaccia. read more

Food, service, ambiance. This place had it all, lovely staff and well made drinks. I recall sitting away from the crowd with a private group, and the service was fantastic. We had drinks, on drinks, on drinks. Huge shoutout to for the waitresses for keeping it flowin'. Next time I have to sit by the bar, the vibes seemed immaculate. Just people enjoying good company and drinks. read more

Our server Bri was lovely! She took pictures of my friends and I. I got the lychee martini which was super yummy and you couldn't really taste the alcohol. We shared potato wedges and flatbread which was good. The potato wedges were hot and thick. read more

If you want a loud, popular after work drinks - come here! That's exactly what I did , the drinks were good, service was fast and food was decent. it was extremely loud though, the group I went with we hadn't seen each other in 2 years so probably not the right choice to come here. read more

Albert's Bar - Crimson & Clover - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Albert's is a unique and expansive cocktail bar in Midtown! Albert's cocktails are delectable. There are several special martinis that I cannot wait to try. They also have a solid (and ice-cold) craft beer selection, as well as a tasty menu. To start, we had the mortadella toastie and the jerk chicken drummies. The golden boy chicken sandwich and the Italian mushroom hoagie are great. On the side, try the spatzle mac and cheese or the seasoned jojo's (extremely crispy potato wedges with Kewpie mayo). The portions are nice and the service is nicer. The space is beautiful and enormous. Great for a group or a date. I'm thankful that Albert's is in the area. There probably isn't anything like it around. The kitchen's open until 11pm. Get the black and white cookie before it closes. Also Elena is the best! read more

Had a great time here! We had a small happy hour with some coworkers and it was lovely! The passion fruit martini was phenomenal!!! I'm really picky with cocktails, as normally they are too sweet or I don't want to finish them, but this was absolute perfection. I really wanted a 2nd one (which I never do!) and only didn't order another for fear of getting tipsy in front of my boss. The bites we had were all so tasty! We tried: Shishito peppers - nice and mild; delicious Potato wedges - love me some thick potatoes! Fries - perfectly crisp and seasoned Clams casino - yum! Great cheesy flavor Monkish bites - delish Spicy cauliflower - great flavor The service was lovely and attentive, and I liked the booth we had to view the beautiful ambiance. read more

Great bartenders and interior space! I can here for happy hour (3-6PM) with coworkers which included $15 martinis and $2 off select beer/wine. The lychee martini was really good and then I tried the crimson and clover but I liked the lychee martini better! I tried some of the arancini and some of the fries from the fish and chips and they were both 10/10 on flavor. read more

Had a rezzo for a friend group because it was the holiday season. Lovely place. Had a leather curved banquette booth. Remember this when it was Public House. Has a gatsbyesque vibe. Happy to report this is not just a beautiful place. The food was great and the drinks were lovely. Earl grey martini....burger was great. read more

Pete was so nice to invite us back for dinner. It was extremely packed at 6:30pm on a Thursday but such great energy, we got seated and had dirty gin martinis. I tried a lychee martini this time as well and it was delicious, there was a bit of bubbly in it and not too sweet. My favorite things were the octopus salad and the broken rice Arancini balls. Both were honestly incredible and we got the fish & chips, zucchini flatbread and cauliflower, which was spicy but super yummy as well. Overall had such a great experience and would definitely recommend! read more

Love this place. Creative menu and a super comfortable environment. Everyone takes pride in their service. Plan to go every time I visit.

I've stopped by here a few times after work, and it's almost always busy during that time. It's a nice bar with the added bonus of outdoor seating. I'd recommend sticking to the martinis or straight spirits. I tried the Antigua Old Fashioned (on tap) and wasn't a fan. That said, the atmosphere here is great, making it a solid spot to unwind. read more

Stopped in this spot for dinner with my family. It's normally a bar that only admits 21 and up but it was early and a Monday and they made an exception for my 18 year old. Our server was super attentive, the interior is extremely nice and clean. The food was outstanding. The steak frites were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I will definitely stop in again the next time I'm in NYC. read more

Great space near Grand Central to meet up with friends or colleagues for a casual drink. The bar is very big, so it can easily accommodate larger groups. It is also updated, new, and clean, so the ambiance feels more comfortable than a sports bar or dive bar. Being right next to Grand Central also makes it very convenient to head home right afterwards. read more

I picked this place because of great Yelp reviews and I was so happy with recommendation! Will forever be remembered as the bar that made the BEST dirty martini I have ever had!!!! Hard not to want to come back several times on a short trip recently! Bartenders were great! Fun vibes and while it looks crowded at times there was plenty space to enjoy both drinks and food even without a reservation. read more

Took a group of 30 people here for a happy hour. It was beyond our expectations! Sam (our server) was INCREDIBLE, and we were never waiting on drinks. The food was fabulous -- we had everything from the steak skewers to sliders, the spicy (spicy!) tuna wontons, grilled shishitos... all delicious! With such great offerings, it's understandably very crowded, so a little loud if you're inside - be prepared. For our event, we were on the mezzanine and it turned out great for our group. Will definitely be coming back! Did not realize they were the same people who run/own Sweet Afton in Astoria, another great spot. Would not really bring kids here, more for after work or evening fun. read more

Strong cocktails and yummy food. Glad to have a restaurant in the area that isn't a chain restaurant

Went in the other night and enjoyed the experience. My wife and I stopped for a drink while walking around. Nice looking place with lots of varied seating and outdoor seating as well. I had the martini with Japanese gin and enjoyed it. Didn't eat anything. Nice service from bartender. read more

They got great reviews, don't they? It's cuz the team at Albert is warm and welcoming! The moment you enter the door the host will check you in with a smile and everyone is so great at hospitality here at Albert's that I actually don't want to try or go any other places by end of the day the prices here in midtown is all the same! I felt warm and welcomed all the time. They have an amazing knowledge and understanding in terms of food and drinks. So I tried this amazing drink "the last word" and believe me when I say this that I am not a drinker or a light drinker and I really love this one! Trust me normally I would never ever drink cocktails period! The atmosphere is really so good that you don't want to leave! If you work or live around here you should absolutely try Albert's out . Last not the least guys this use to be "the public house" before Covid. So you know where this is!! read more
