Bummed it took me so long to check this place out ! Might just be my go to from now on . Love the large circular bar area and the dining room is fabulous as well . Very accessible to those who use a wheelchair or walker . Lovely calm atmosphere . Live jazz playing Wednesday nights from 6-8 pm . Not sure about the other nights but my hunch is there is . Extensive drink menu offering all sorts of whiskey, gin , wines and beers many other options including a fancy mocktail & heinken 0 . Love the fireplace scene showing on the tv and lots of space between the tables . The free bar snacks are wonderful . Please note Gratuity is added automatically to your bill . Up to you if you want to add more . Please see photos for the food menu . Lots of choices & several kids were dining as well . Nice spot to relax unwind . We’ll be back .

Great hotel bar tucked inside the lobby of the Intercontinental Barclay in Midtown East. A short walk from Grand Central, this hotel including the lobby and bar was fully refurbished around 2017 so everything is still pretty shiny and new. Classic cocktails and a range of speciality gins are available to sip in a relaxed setting while you watch the comings and going’s of the hotel lobby.

I had a business breakfast with reservation. They did not have a table. Place was cramped and waiters were loud and aggressively stacking plates and clearing dishes. You can ONLY order from their lack luster buffet. Decaf coffee was cold. $25 bucks for the cold decaf and one ice tea. Waiter disappeared for 25 mins. No wonder the gratuity was included. I would not go back.

We enjoyed the food as hotel guests, a little pricey but expected for New York in a swanky hotel.

The Gin Parlour is the bar located inside the Intercontinental Hotel in NYC. Its an elegant space that tends to be on the noisy side. We did not eat here but we ordered a variety of cocktails. Everything was delicious. We would definitely stop here for a drink again.

It was an amazing experience!!! Our bartender Enver was fantastic and the manager Lynette was wonderful. Bar was beautiful and I loved their brillant selections of gins and cocktails were delicious. Will definitely be back soon!!!

The gin parlour cocktail bar is a beautiful, art-deco step back in time to old world civility, deep conversations with knowledgeable bartenders about mood-appropriate-spirits and the chance to catch your own reflection in the spectacularly polished marble floors. Dont come for the food, its not a restaurant.

When did I become the old guy at the bar? Beautiful hotel lobby bar close to GCT MN northern entrance. Its always a bit too warm in this bar but thats ok.

Horrible breakfast - only a buffet option with mediocre food and anemic service at a ridiculous price - stay away!

Are you a gin aficionado? This place has almost every major gin in the world. Ask to see their in-house gin manual to read up on their gins and each of those gins flavour profile. My only complaint, and this is more aesthetic, is that it is a hotel bar and it shows. Other than that, the staff are friendly and happy to pair a great gin with a cocktail of your choice.

Gin palour is the best that i ever have been, the service is excellent and the personal are amazing, they make you feel like family.

Great breakfast! if you stay at the IC hotel, you HAVE to come here

One of the worst restaurants Ive been to. Food is mediocre, and service is just plain bad.

The drinks are standard Manhattan prices. Nothing really stands out but it’s warm and cozy. Jungle Bird is basically a Sea Breeze but too much ice.

The drinks were stronger than average and tasted good. I left to another place for food because the menu was very limited. Good for a quick dinner at the hotel.

So cool. Love the vibe.

Nice ambience, lovely staff, shame about the distinct lack of vegetarian options on the cooked breakfast menu & no plant based or soya yoghurts or non dairy options…when I asked what alternatives were available, I was informed ‘there’s asparagus’ not sure that constitutes plant based alternatives as a protein source.$109 for breakfast for 2 people, pancakes were dry, food was average & bland, I wouldn’t recommend.

Alfredo took great care of me at the bar.

Wonderful heading back later for another relaxing drink!

Great drinks and excellent service.

Wow! $30 for a gin martini! As someone who works in the area I am accustomed to NY prices but this just felt like highway robbery! This is not the St. Regis. I hope Management adjusts their pricing expectations, especially considering the mediocre, b-tier midtown hotel lobby vibes.

Very slow inattentive horrible experience.

Great Bar as part of the hotel. Lunch food was delicious. Yes its pricey but like London hotels

Only gin more flavors required..

Food was great. Service was slow

Nice bar but expensive. Martinis could use better olives!

Fantastic gin bar

Cozy, contemporary bar raised just adjacent to grand lobby!

A wonderful bar inside Intercontinental Barclay Hotel!

My favorite is the especial Gin & Tonic. The best!!!💖

Great staff but could use some help on keeping up with inventory. They were sold out of a few of their listed items.

The food was hot...not too tasty and it was pricey

Wasnt even ever there so wouldnt know.

Sad, sad service. Ignored several people at the bar for 10-15 while I was there including me. Then built-in gratuity on the tab? give me a break.

Over priced. For no reason....

Good spot to unwind!

Cool

Great

Who is this

Fantastic bar with a solid gin selection and knowledgeable bartenders who really put soul into their drinks. Definitely worth a visit if you like gin from all over the world. The bar is located in the luxurious hotel InterContinental New York Barclay.

Great breakfast

It is the lobby bar of the Intercontinental Barclay hotel, it is very nice and cozy. There are always elegant people having a drink, and many times accompanied by live music, jazz.
