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.

Between the live pianist, dimly lit space, and cozy atmosphere, it's a nice little escape from the busy streets of NYC. We started with their Tiny TINI Hour, ordering the Espresso Martini and the Keys & Blossoms cocktail alongside the K-POP Fries. The Espresso Martini easily made its way into my Top 5 Fav Espresso Martinis, while the Keys & Blossoms was light, slightly sweet, and incredibly refreshing. The K-pop Fries were truly an experience with the fresh cut kimchi, chili mayo, cheese, cilantro, and scallions, every bite making you crave more. For dinner, we both ordered the Bar Steak served with crispy potatoes and an incredible Argentinian chimichurri that tied the whole dish together. I love any form of potatoes but there's just something about whole potatoes and steak that hit differently for me. Of course, I couldn't leave without trying the Bodega Cat cocktail, served in an iconic New York blue coffee cup. It reminded me of a coconut espresso drink and was such a fun touch for the night. We also had the Whole 'Nother Sonata, which was just as delicious. We were way too full for dessert, but I love a perfect excuse to come back. Whether it's date night, girls' night, or you're just looking for a cozy cocktail spot with live music, So & So's deserves a spot on your list.

In spite of coming here so many times, I never get bored - not only do they keep the menu interesting, but the afternoons, evenings and late nights all have a very different vibe - laid back vs fancy. It is no doubt one of the best places to watch the evening turn into a night.

They have both an indoor and outdoor rooftop, connected by a short flight of stairs. The outdoor space is pretty small with its own bar, so it fills up quickly and seating is limited. The indoor area is more vibrant and has a nice view. They offer happy hour from 4-6pm, with $12 cocktails, which is quite reasonable. The drinks are decent, nothing overly memorable but solid enough for a rooftop spot. When you're ready to leave, you can pay right from your table using a QR code, which makes the process easy.

There was a DJ and security, at the door. It was crowded, and a little comfortable standing in heels then having to fight to get a drink at the bar. We decided to inquire about sitting at a table, and were told that we had to meet a $75 minimum per person. Which was interesting for us, because we just came from having dinner at another restaurant. While we were downstairs waiting in the waiting area, the Quinn Bar (on the 5th floor), we had drinks. Unfortunately, I would not go back for the food, after normal dinner hours, because there was only the snack menu to order from. I ordered the boo burger. The burger was bland, and lacked flavor, and the fries tasted like cold McDonald's fries. Given the price, I could've easily gone to McDonald's for better food. The food also took over an hour to leave the kitchen, which was possibly why the fries were cold. We only ordered food to meet the $75 minimum per person, since we had already eaten at another restaurant uptown and didn't want to order more drinks (we had to drive back to New Jersey) and I already drank a drink while waiting down at the Quinn Bar. As for drinks, I tried the Strawberry Fix and Bananarama cocktails, both of which were decent. I'd visit again, but during the normal dinner hours.
