Found this with some searching and enabled all to have joy. The shopping crew did their thing while we snagged the final two seats at this posh but relaxed little bar happily tucked into the Bergdorf Goodman's Men's Store. Never would've expected it, pleasant surprise indeed! Did not try the food (though the small menu looked to have some quality options), but the bartenders were excellent (friendly and helpful), and the drinks were top-notch (always appreciate a healthy pour). Everyone was game to chat a bit, which I also always appreciate at a bar. While it began with a convenient diversion, I'll be making a deliberate stop next time I'm in town.

The Campbell -- Grand Central Terminal I attended a work…read moreevent at Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central and decided to take the elevator up to The Campbell for a nightcap. I've been a patron for decades, but this was my first visit in about two years, so I was curious to see what had changed. Quite a bit, apparently. The place was bustling, filled with a lively crowd of mostly Gen Zers, along with a sprinkling of commuters and after-work drinkers. I was served promptly and, as luck would have it, scored a coveted seat at the bar. My Negroni was excellent--properly balanced, well chilled, and exactly what I wanted at the end of the evening. Then came the check: $24 for one Negroni. I understand paying a premium for the setting. The Campbell is one of those uniquely New York bars where you're quite literally having a cocktail inside a piece of history. But $24 for a Negroni feels excessive. At that price, I'm not sure you're paying for the cocktail as much as you're paying admission to the room. And what a room it is. The Campbell dates to 1923, when railroad executive and financier John W. Campbell transformed the space into a lavish private office and entertaining suite. Despite the name, it was never actually an apartment. Campbell's office was designed to resemble a 13th-century Florentine palace, complete with a 25-foot ceiling, hand-painted details, leaded-glass windows, a mahogany balcony, and an imposing stone fireplace. The space has had quite the New York life: Railroad tycoon's private office broadcasting studio police holding area forgotten space legendary cocktail bar. After Campbell's death in 1957, the room fell into disrepair and went through several decidedly less glamorous incarnations before being restored and reopened as the Campbell Apartment cocktail lounge in 1999. It became a Midtown institution, particularly during the 2000s and early 2010s. Following a lease dispute, it closed in 2016 and reopened as The Campbell in 2017. Today, the historic architecture remains the star of the show. There is no denying that sitting at the bar in this magnificent room, tucked inside Grand Central, is a quintessential New York experience. Great atmosphere. Great history. Excellent Negroni. Prompt service. But $24 for a cocktail is a tough sell, even in Manhattan and even in a room this spectacular. For me, it was one and done.

The stools are a good height, but are solidified to the floor, so no shifting them around. It was a little difficult to slide myself onto it, but once there, it was super cushy and comfortable. They do swivel which makes it easier to talk to the person or group you go with. The bar tenders were a good team. They were busy with orders from people at tables and the counter. I accidentally knocked my drink over and they replenished it to where it last was without me asking. That was super of them. I got the S'mores Martini and it was delicious! It comes with a graham crackers rim. They have a menu specifically for candy - drinks. I saw a small container filled with sour patch kids. They gave us some flavored/roasted nuts and it went really well with our drinks. They were so fresh and delish. The drinks are mega expensive, but we did it for the experience. It was $29.00 a pop. Originally my friend wanted to treat me, but because of the hefty price tag we split the bill. It was a nice time, with a good atmosphere and professional bar tenders. Rolando was excellent! After we finished our drinks they provided us with ice water without us making the request. Again superb experience! Happy sips!
