We came to the Beekman Bar Room for the first stop of my girlfriend's birthday weekend world tour, as it is the most beautiful setting for a restaurant I have been to in NYC.

We were seated in the middle of the atrium in huge lounge-like chairs that I would expect to be in my grandpa's house. After trying to get comfortable in these odd chairs for such a classy setting, I finally settled in and scanned my surroundings.

Looking down on us were floors of venetian architecture stacked up on each other as far up as you can see, with a skylight at the top to tie them together. It has an authentic 70s New York feel to it.

Around us were foreign hotel guests, finance bros, and some pretty cute couples all dressed classy as hell. That's one of my favorite things about this place, how classy everyone dresses. You'd be wildly underdressed here in jeans and a tshirt, and I love that. I miss when nicer places had dress codes, idk.

I ordered a vesper, as I had just gotten a new suit jacket from Marshalls and I was feeling like James Bond in this setting. I just felt cool ordering it. "Oh yeah just a *vesper* for me..." just all casual and nonchalant.

I know you don't care and I'm getting off track here, but the Marshall’s suit jacket had been marked down to $60, with the original price being $300. Honestly, they could just be making that original price up. I'm such an easy get with that. Sometimes I just want to feel like I won...

My Vesper did the trick and I felt like 007, especially with my baby looking FIRE. We ordered Shishito Peppers ($21), 6 oysters ($25), Waygu Burger ($33), Hanger Steak ($39).

When those shishito peppers came I couldn't help but laugh as they should have been $7 for that portion. $21 is CRAZY for some peppers. The food was decent, but honestly just a little uninspired. Nothing was bad per se, but nothing is making me want to WRITE. You feel me?

I'll just leave you with the Beekman Bar Room is the PERFECT place in NYC to dress up a little bit, grab a few cocktails and order a side of the fingerling potatoes. Those fingerling potatoes make me want to WRITE.

We popped into the Bar Room at the Beekman for coffee prior to a brunch reservation. We got a table towards the central atrium with lots of beautiful lighting.

The chairs were plush and very comfortable and the ambiance was perfect for an upscale but not stuffy environment (dark academic vibes). However, our service, while polite, was lackluster: we waited a long time before receiving menus/waters, received the wrong order, and our server didn't check on us into we were ready for the bill. The service definitely did not match the price. My expectations were high and in that area they were not met.

Now onto the bill. It was 21 dollars for two small coffee drinks and a very small side of fruit. New York prices combined with a bump from hotel restaurant pricing made the bill much higher than the value of the meal. But I should be fair and acknowledge that the fruit plate didn’t have melon, so there is some redemption in that…

I would be open to trying the Beekman Bar again for cocktails in the evening just because the room is so nice but I wouldn't recommend for breakfast as the experience just didn't match the expectations.

This is a beautiful bar! I love the decor, lighting, and most of all the gorgeous view. It’s at the bottom of a stunning atrium in the Beekman hotel (I recommend looking at the photos for more context). It has a chic but welcoming ambience and decor and the acoustics are great. The service is fantastic too. My bartender Pape was friendly, knowledgeable, and charming and made me a delicious cocktail! This is a great place for after work drinks or a date!

Best after work venue in FiDi. Our servers, Jason and Beatrix, were amazing - so chill and funny. The drinks and dishes were delicious. The well photographed optical illusion was a feast to the eyes. The library / sitting room atmosphere was comfortable, lively and not pretentious.

It many ways, Bar Room is better than Temple Court.

Incredible location with unique architecture. Loved the thought that went into this place. Staff seemed pretty overwhelmed and the reservations were pretty unorganized. Our food and drinks were great!

Popped by for a light bite and a cocktail, and so happy that we did. I will be absolutely come back just to have another “John J. Fitzgerald” in the stunning atmosphere. Service was fantastic, we felt every one of our needs were anticipated before we could ask. 10/10!

Unfortunately, my visit to Bar Room was marred by excessive delays. Food was okay, but it took 20 minutes to place an order, 40 minutes to receive the food, and an additional 15 minutes to get the check. The slow service significantly impacted the overall dining experience. Improvements in efficiency would greatly enhance customer satisfaction.

Very upscale, old school bar at the center of historical Downtown Manhattan. I had no opportunity to dine there, as we stopped by just for drinks, but even at the bar, you will get first notch experience of this elegant and classy atmosphere. The drinks were good too.
It seems that they have a very comprehensive menu as well, I definitely will try it n3xt time I am there.
