I had an incredible experience at the Lounge on Pearl - from service to food to drinks and everything in between. I would highly recommend for hotel guests and those in the area. A work trip had me at the Wall Street Hotel, and given the pouring rain, I decided to grab a bar stool at the Lounge to get some food after a long work day rather than wander around downtown. Sabina the bartender was incredibly gracious as it took me a long time to decide what to order - despite a short food menu, almost everything sounded good (and in corporate budget!). I separately decided to indulge in a drink--when in New York--and asked Sabina for input on martinis, as I've only had a few and wanted some advice. She pointed me to a menu selection (the Aquitaine) based on the martinis I'd had and liked (relatively dry with a twist) and it did not disappoint, which rendered her offer to make another if I didn't like it fully moot. It was a wonderfully made gin martini with just enough sweet/dry balance that went perfectly with food. I will also say the classic dry martini with a twist was a perfect after dinner drink. Add in the rain through the windows, large florals on the bar, and high-ceiling ambiance of the bar and it was a very New York fantasy evening. For food, I had the escarole Caesar with chicken paillard and also the Vietnamese meatballs. Both were excellent and in great contrast - there were 5 meatballs but they were quite dense (in a good way) and packed with sharp flavor, coupled with a wonderful crunch. The salad was 1) far more plentiful than met the eye and 2) a great textural and flavor play, with the bitterness of the endive, escarole, and I think radicchio balanced by the crumble, croutons, and dressing. The staff was truly the highlight, though - Sabina was wonderfully helpful and attentive as described, but the other bartender (whose name I regrettably did not catch) was very friendly, the manager (Sheldon) was great to chat with, and I observed the staff deal with some difficult situations (a hotel guest fell asleep in the Lounge, perhaps from overconsumption, and a large party in the private room was antsy about their food arriving) with abundant grace and calm. I was thoroughly impressed by the Lounge on Pearl and hope to say at this hotel again so that I can pay the Lounge another visit. read more

They had a live singer! We'd tried a bunch of places in the area to grab some food around 3pm. The restaurants were "open", but the kitchens were closed. Then we happened upon this bar. The music was a welcome addition to our meal. I was so inspired that I bought them a round of drinks. I purchased a Bloody Mary. Tasty. We conversed for a while, and then got around to ordering. I tried the Tuna tartar and the Turkey club sandwich. I also purchased the Duck Fat Tots (more duck flavor rather than duck meat). The meal was very enjoyable, good flavors. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. We took up real estate for three hours, so very unhurried in catching up with each other. read more

Stopped by the Lounge on Pearl for lunch on a quiet Sunday afternoon and had a nice meal. We had the French Onion Soup (excellent), Pull Apart Milk Bread (terrific), Lobster Salad Sliders (the mini croissants were a little cold), Shiitake Spring Rolls (not bad) and a Dimple Dog (solid). The bartender Anderson was also our server (it was quiet) and he did a nice job covering the entire room. Overall, a lovely environment for a drink, a quick bite or even a complete meal like we had. read more

Really pretty place with comfortable seating. Great food choices. We shared the Charcuterie board. The server was nice but seemed she didn't have a lot of knowledge so perhaps she was new. Fun area. read more

What a delightful lobby bar and lounge at the Wall Street hotel. We popped in last night for a night cap and the vibes were just right. They have a small bar and plenty of swanky lounge seating. I ordered a martini with frites service which honestly is my girl nightcap dream. Sadly the kitchen was closed but they definitely delivered on a great martini with blue cheese olives. They have a nice wine list as well and some snacks when the kitchen is open. If you're in the area and looking for lounge vibes with your cocktail, this is a good spot. read more

The food and ambiance were impeccable. I arrived around 9:50 pm on a Friday night, just in time to experience the dj for a few sets, the vibes and music were everything. My server, Ana was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the entire menu. Lastly, the food....i ordered the oysters, truffle fries, French onion soup, Parker house rolls, and strawberry bloom mocktail and I ate every single bite. AMAZING all around 10/10 read more

This lounge is next to the lobby on the first floor of The Wall Street Hotel. Cute bar area in the back and plenty of tables as well as cozy looking couches scattered everywhere. I didn't eat there, but several of my coworkers did and said the food was amazing. They couldn't stop raving about the crispy potato croquettes and the burrata and prosciutto plate. It definitely fills up quick around 5pm, assuming a hot spot for after work happy hours. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Absolutely my new fave, nearby cafe & recommended hotel. Stunning stunning posh! A place for the elegant, dainty, & well paid. The service should catch up to its appeal however. No waiter came to ask did I want to order. A waiter later came asking did my fries ever come. When I said 'no' she apologized then returned stating they'd been sitting in the window & she's not sure why they never brought them to me. What?! I asked her why would she then deliver me cold fries?? Of course I want hot, fresh fries. She leaves the cold ones & returns later with fresh hot fries & fresh ketchup. Then another waiter came by, reaching over us to grab the menu. No 'excuse me', no greeting. Initially we thought sarcastically we could no longer order, and reaching is rude without announcing. He did so to every table, I noticed. All things considered, the fries were amazing. Fairly priced at $6. I mean of course I love $3.99 priced fries from McDonald's, but many bars/restaurants charge more than $8 for fries that aren't this tasty so I'll say it's reasonable. I must say, the sandwich meal looks perfect although $23 I believe...still plan to try it on my next visit. Good food & ambiance will win me over every time. I'd love to be invited here for content. So my style! read more

I have lived in the Financial District for about 13 years now. It was a long wait for a place like this. I can definitely say it was worth the wait. The Lounge on Pearl has become a real favorite of ours. It is a warm and welcoming environment, with exceptional lighting, beautiful colors, and a sophisticated yet comfortable vibe. Plenty of cozy seating options, great people watching, and even live jazz in the evenings on some nights! There is a nice cocktail menu. The lounge also serves food (a limited selection) taken from the menu of the hotel's restaurant, La Marchande. (If you aren't famished, I would suggest skipping the food and trying another restaurant in the neighborhood. If you are famished, keep it simple. The burger is fine.) I think the most important thing about the place for us as locals is the warm greeting and friendly service we get from the staff. We have come to feel very at home at the Lounge, and are treated with great kindness and attentive service. While it's always hard to pick out individuals for specific recognition when everybody is terrific, there are three people that absolutely must get "shout outs." Motts, Juli, and Tina. Motts is an outstanding bartender. He has that perfect combination of skills that makes customers happy. He is obviously a talented and efficient bartender. But maybe more importantly, his warm smile and easy manner with customers makes for great experiences for visitors. I usually sit at one of the tables in the lounge, but enjoy watching him interact with hotel guests and other locals enjoying themselves at the bar. Juli and Tina are two of the best servers you can ask for in what has become a VERY VERY busy place. They manage to keep an eye on the entire room no matter how busy it is, and you never feel like you are wanting or waiting for anything. You know how it typically is in a super busy "hot" spot when your drink is empty or you'd like to order something and you're not getting any eye contact from anyone? Well, the complete opposite happens here. Juli is incredible at anticipating needs and is on top of it before you even have to ask. This is so refreshing. They are both really like hosts, making sure you feel at home. I think they are the gems in the crown of this hotel's beautiful lounge. New York City can be a tough place with difficult, overly-entitled, and demanding customers at times. One of the things that makes Juli and Tina so special is how calm they are in situations like this. I have witnessed Tina running the show on many nights as the only server in a full house of customers....making conversation with guests, attentive, welcoming, and never seeming rushed or overwhelmed despite the demands. I have also witnessed her dealing with very challenging customers with tremendous grace and professionalism....customers that doubtlessly would have caused others to lose it. Not Tina. She is the ultimate professional....the perfect combination of server, ambassador, politician, and host, multitasking and yet leaving you feeling like you are the focus. This is a real skill. The entire team is fantastic, and as you can see, going there is about more than just the drinks. It's about the experience. This team is well-oiled perfection! Great work by The Wall Street Hotel curating this group of fantastic young people! read more

Gorgeous new hotel and equally gorgeous lounge & bar area. Stopped by over the weekend around brunch time, although they didn't have brunch menu, they had of snacks and mains to try, including omelette. I tried the club which came with frites, they were very crispy, just the way I like. Have to comeback to try others on the menu + their main resto on the other side of hotel. Extensive list of drink menu. My latte was $9, they didn't have coffee and tea menu provided. Being that latte was $9, I wouldn't really recommend latte since it was just ok at best and wasn't that good. There are plenty of other gourmet coffee shops in nyc, (NYrs are coffee snobs and spoiled lol). read more

It's cozy, initiate, and upscale. The bar is small and can seat only about 10 people. It was hard to find the bar from the outside (nowhere is it labeled "Lounge on Pearl"). It's inside a hotel and off to the left. There are lounge seats as well. Drinks are overpriced and underpoured. Probably would not return. read more

Great place to have smoothies and tacos and fruits, very clean and they do everything right in front of you.

The service was great and the drinks as well. The place had a great environment and there was good people in the bar read more

I visited this lounge today with a friend and had an extremely disappointing experience to say the least. From the moment we arrived, we were subjected to what I can only describe as blatant racism. No one greeted us, offered us water, or gave us menus, even though other customers who arrived after us were promptly attended to. After waiting for 15 minutes, I approached a waiter to ask for water and menus. He responded by THROWING the menus onto our table and smashing the water glasses down so hard that water spilled everywhere. He didn't bother to clean it up and only muttered a "sorry" before walking away. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice, but I would only recommend this place if you are white. Otherwise, save your time, money, and dignity by going somewhere else where you will be treated with respect. read more

This was both delicious and gorgeous. Excellent service too. The martinis were absolutely perfect.

Great service, comfortable atmosphere, & well-made drinks! Wish their menu would be a bit more extensive and their portions could be more generous. Food in general is very soso. read more

Fabulous hotel bar with an incredibly chic ambiance! The liquor and cocktail menu is extensive and their specialty cocktails are so good!! They have a small food menu, but great choices to choose from. The Burger was incredible & the oysters were to die for. Great spot to bring a date to or to chill with friends/family over a cocktail. Definitely would recommend this bar. read more
