    "The Macallan Edit" Experience - 12/13/25.  The Macallan Hearth Toddy
    Alexis M.

    Pearl Box is 1970's Inspired Lounge Space located on W. Broadway in Soho. Having visited here one day after attending several Soho Events, Pearl Box was a good midway / halfway spot to chill & enjoy some cocktails before heading to other events that evening. Pearl Box is chic, & elegant w/ a mellow vibe. Beautiful Red, Black & hints of White/Silver Decor in the wall art, red velvet seating, etc. & on the overall aesthetic. My favorite was the Wall Caricature Art of Michelle & Barack Obama, David Bowie & Prince. "The Macallan Edit" Experience Curated by Hypebeast, was held here 2 weeks before X-Mas. Guests were able to enjoy cocktails made w/ The Macallan Whiskey. "The Macallan Edit" Experience Cocktails: The Macallan Hearth Toddy - The Macallan Sherry Oak12 Years Old, Honey, w/ Baking Spices & All Spice Dram. Highland Holiday Nog - The Macallan Double Case 12 Years Old, Coconut Water, King Ginger, Vanilla & Egg. Sherry Oaks Split - The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years Old, Temps Fugit Banana, Suze, & Blanco Vermouth. The bartender that prepared my cocktails was attentive & did serving the cocktails. Pearl Box has nice staff, & played fantastic R&B and Hip-Hop Music throughout the event. Bar Room Happy Hour is from 5:30pm-7pm. Walk-Ins are accepted at the Bar Area. Pearl Box has a food menu that includes caviar, small plates & other seafood bites. Open everyday except Mondays. Tues. - Thurs. - 5:30pm - 11:30pm Fri. & Sat. - 5:30pm - 12:30pm, Sun. - 5:30pm.- 10:30pm. @pearlbox nyc pearlboxnyc.com

    Total 1970s cocktail lounge vibes--perfect for a date night or a cute girls' night out. It has three floors, though the first floor seems more like a storage or pass-through space, so head straight to the second floor to check in. The second floor has bar seating but is more dinner-oriented, with mostly tables. The third floor is the lounge: more relaxed, with chairs and less structured seating. They still serve food up there, but it feels more focused on small bites. Overall, super intimate, plus there's a cute photo booth. Definitely recommend for a chill night of drinks

    Came for some drinks and didn't expect from the food, but it was very good!! Would recommend!!

    Pearl Box was one of the most unique dining experiences I have been too. The restaurant is cozy - speak easy feel. It was a great vibe for wanting to go out with my girlfriends to catch up and chat. The food menu was admittedly small and was small plates to share over actual meals. This was fine with me, as I like to try a bunch of different things on a menu. The drink menu was vast, with the menu book being themed like a Playboy Magazine. I had a classic dirty martini, which was delicious. The caviar service really stood out, and was presented beautifully. The waiter was extremely helpful in picking which service and which caviar would be best for our table. We ended the night with the classic candy box, which is filled with classic gummy candy and seems like "the thing they are known for" when you stop in. Overall, the service was the only thing I would complain about. The food and drinks took extremely long to come out. Additionally our server did not stop by our table to check in as much as I would have liked her too, especially with everything taking so long. If you plan to come here, I would just plan for a long experience. Otherwise, food and drink were great.

    Such a cool spot!! it's three stories with different levels. The Photo Booth is on the second level. The service was great. The trio handroll set was amazing must order!!! The candy was solid nothing special, but it comes in a cool case. Drinks were great. Got their similar version to a porn star martini and it was amazing. Great atmosphere. Good for drinks and small bites.

    Such a cute bar with gorgeous red interior and each floor has its own vibe. Ordered drinks, popcorn chicken, fries and the candy box! They also have a photobooth as well!

    This intimate speakeasy can be the start to your evening or a mellow nightcap. The service I received was great, my waiter was so pleasant. Thank you for my birthday rosé & candy dish. Small plates, drinks and disco music with retro style decor. I tried the popcorn chicken and fries (so yum) along with a cherry Americano. Make sure to RSVP.

    Mary K.

    Such a cool spot to meet with some girl friends and catch up. It's a small cozy intimate vibe and the all red is sexy. I didn't try any food but the drinks were good and I love the candy box. Service is good too. It's perfect before a night out would go back!

    Whimsical speakeasy vibe bar with well thought out drinks, great for groups and girls nights, cute photo ops and mood lighting

    Asha S.

    I don't know where to begin. I came for my daycation and I had this as my last stop of the night before heading back to amtrack! What a great send off. First off... the decor is just spot on. It's so chic and rich in color and vibes. I love the sound selections and everything about what I laid my eyes upon. I had two cocktails (their happy hour is great for the price) and treated myself to French fries and caviar!!! Did some caviar bumps with my server since I was dining solo and really just had a great time. The food and service was lovely as well!!! Definitely worth the hype it receives on TikTok.

    *Pearl Box is located above Heroes restaurant and is only accessible via climbing 3 flights of stairs. It is not ADA accessible* Had a reservation for a Saturday night. We showed up on time and were taken upstairs. The hosts were all friendly. The space is not big at all. Maybe 10-15 tables that seat 2-4 people. We were sitting on a small couch near the front. It was a comfortable couch! The space is gorgeously decorated in a 70s vibe. Music playing with a mix of old and new. Wish they played more disco. Service was attentive. The only downside was their lack of vegetarian options on the menu. Both my friend and I are veg and the only two things we could order were the bowl of candy and a bowl of potato chips. Both were very good however! The drink menu is pretty interesting. I had a drink called a Floradora which was botanical and made of gin. My friend had a Sazerac. They were not the best drinks I've had but not the worst either. There's a bathroom upstairs that's decorated with 70s playgirl and playboy magazine covers which was fun. After 90 minutes, we were asked to leave so they could seat the next reservation. This was fine with us because we were done after our one drink and snacks. I'd be inclined to stay longer if I had more food to snack on. The sound level wasn't loud and overall, this was a pretty nice, chill environment even on a Saturday evening. Would go back and really hope they add more veggie options to the menu. There is apparently a $45 per person minimum but we did not meet it and were not asked to either. Maybe because there was not much for us to order as vegetarians.

    Very chill vibes. Drinks are amazing along with the staff. Bartender Angle was 10/10.

    Angel is the BEST every drink has been amazing. He is constantly checking in and making sure what he made it to my accommodations!!!!

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

It's better than it needs to be, which in this neighborhood counts for a lot. The room is the star. Brass, smoked mirrors, marble, wallpaper with burlesque dancers, very Gatsby cosplay but done with actual money. Think the Campbell at Grand Central, minus the $28 martini attitude. It's also LOUD downstairs. Ask for upstairs if you want to hear your date. Gin is the program here and they take it seriously, house-infused bottles paired with specific tonics, not an afterthought. My G&T was legitimately well built. Food from chef JC Colón is better than cocktail-bar standard: truffle fries in duck fat are worth it, the lobster mac at $31 is rich and fine but you've had it before. Skip dessert. The steak frites at $48 is where I'd tap out, that's real-restaurant money for bar food execution. Here's the move though: weekday happy hour, 4 to 7. Dollar oysters and $13 cocktails in a room this pretty is one of the best deals in Midtown, full stop. Service was warm and fast even slammed. Not a destination, but if you're near Bryant Park or seeing a show, this beats everything else within five blocks. Book ahead, walk-ins were getting turned away by 5:30.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

The bi-level bar and lounge was dark, swanky, and seductive. It would make an excellent spot for dates or groups of friends, like mine. We started off sitting at the bar, as there were no large tables available upon our arrival. However, after about 15 minutes, the host approached to tell us that he could actually seat us. I picked up my glass, which was wet with condensation, and it slipped out of my hands. I was able to collect it with only a minor spill, but the host insisted that the bar staff make me a new cocktail in case the glass had chipped at all. It was a considerate gesture that I greatly appreciated. Plus, since I had already taken a few sips, I was thrilled to get those back in a new glass! In terms of my cocktail of choice, I had opted for the Hot Tijuana Tease, a fiery blend of mezcal, blanco tequila, chile poblano liqueur, and lime juice. So, it was essentially a spicy margarita, and it was excellent. There were clean, crisp notes of peppery heat balanced with layers of robust smoke. My only complaint about the lounge was that the bathrooms were beyond tiny. There were two unisex stalls in a very tight alcove that also included a cramped sink counter. It was awkward and uncomfortable to share that space with another patron. Aside from that, the Hide Rooftop was a beautiful place with a friendly staff and interesting drinks.
