I had an amazing experience at The Campbell last night! The atmosphere is incredible, and the drinks were top-notch. What really made the night special was the exceptional service, especially from the manager, Christian. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time. Christian's attention to detail and genuine care for the guests truly stood out. If you're looking for a memorable night out, The Campbell is a must-visit, and be sure to say hi to Christian!

We arrived to NYC 4 hours late from our flight and were a few minutes late past the reservation grace period, and they were still able to get us a table we reserved. The ambience was incredible and was everything we had hoped. The drinks were fantastic and came out quicker then expected. Overall thank you to the Campbell bar staff for making our quick stop in so amazing!

We had the best experience at The Campbell NYC, thanks in large part to Christian. From the moment we arrived, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. Christian was also so helpful when it came to choosing cocktails. He walked us through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and his drink suggestion was spot-on. His knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail truly elevated our night. If you’re visiting The Campbell, I definitely hope you get the chance to be assisted by Christian—he made our experience absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem Near Grand Central! I stumbled upon this bar completely by accident, and wow — what a hidden gem! It’s tucked away just down the street from Grand Central Station and honestly a little tricky to find, but that only adds to the charm. Once inside, I was greeted by incredible live jazz that set the perfect mood for the night. Our bartender, Justin, was a total standout. Watching him multitask was like watching an artist at work — effortlessly mixing great drinks while keeping the whole bar energized and having fun. He struck that perfect balance of being attentive, personable, and genuinely entertaining. The best part? We ended up discovering that Justin’s college roommate went to the same high school as my nephew. Small world moments like that just make a place feel even more special. If you’re in the area and looking for a cozy spot with great vibes, talented bartenders, and amazing music, this place is absolutely worth seeking out!

The drinks were great with an incredible and intimate location ..we were lucky we were able to walk in with out a reservation but done expect that. The place was packed when we left.

Perfect quick little stop and reset. Justin, our bartender was AMAZING! Nice atmosphere and good conversation. Will definitely make The Campbell Bar a stop next time we are visiting the City! Again, thank you Justin for a good time.

Such a cozy spot with a great vibe! The cocktails are expertly crafted, the food is delicious, and the art deco-inspired decor adds a unique charm. I went solo and felt right at home, thanks especially to Scott… easily one of the coolest bartenders I’ve ever met :)

You stumble out of the urban churn of Midtown—car horns, the scent of street meat, and the distant scream of some poor bastard’s timeline unraveling. You push through the crowd, duck into Grand Central like you’re diving under surf, and suddenly, you’re inside a goddamn cathedral to movement. People in suits, tourists with fanny packs, everyone chasing something. And then—then—you find it. The Campbell. Not a bar. A lair. A booze-drenched time warp. A place where Gatsby might’ve poured a stiff one after torching West Egg. A place with enough velvet and mahogany to make you forget what decade you’re in—or care. Once the private office of a 1920s financier, The Campbell has the kind of unapologetic opulence that whispers, “Remember when luxury meant something?” Thirty-foot ceilings. A fireplace big enough to roast a whole pig. And bartenders in tailored vests who mix a Manhattan the way it was meant to be mixed—no molecular foam, no kale-infused bitters, no pretense. Just rye, vermouth, bitters, and cold, calculated respect for the drink. It’s not cheap. Of course it’s not. But you’re not here for happy hour discounts or Tinder dates. You’re here to pause time, to pretend for one drink—or four—that you’re a titan of industry waiting for your mistress and a Cuban cigar. The clientele? A mix. Finance bros high on mergers, silver-haired foxes in bespoke suits, the occasional lost soul who wandered in looking for the bathroom and stayed for the whiskey. It’s all part of the charm. The Campbell doesn’t care who you are—only that you know how to sit still, sip slow, and soak in the ghosts of old New York. You don’t come here to be seen. You come here to disappear.

Hidden Bar Champion! Hidden in the Grand Central station you find this amazing & stunning bar. It was not crowded when we arrived on Sunday afternoon. Few people stopped by to have a look. Drinks were delicious and pricing was good. The bar is just amazing from a design point of view.

An amazing speakeasy in the heart of Grand Central Concourse. Hard to find on the inside, you have to go upstairs on the upper level near the restaurant. There's a special elevator if you can find it. Entrance from the street is easier. Top notch bar drinks and atmosphere. Dark and quiet, classy. I love it and will be back. They serve up tasty and inviting drinks! Tell em Barsnobs sent ya

Iconic, especially for any gossip girl fans but such cool history! We looked into the history and what it originally was… loved it even more. Amazing espresso martinis… great vibe and staff. Keely was awesome. Will be back!

A beautiful restored bar that has decent drinks and food and great service. We got the Angel’s & Demons and Ginger’s Snap which I thought were decent, the spinach artichoke was fantastic, and the salad was just ok. Don’t think any of the things we tried except for the spinach artichoke are must tries, but I would definitely come in again and try something else for the atmosphere alone!

Rumor has it that this used to be Vanderbilt office? Din. Dark. High ceilinged!!!! The vibe is mysteriously cool. Bar is standing only. Tables are stacked in neat rows Drinks are made meticulously and the noise level is appropriate for conversation. Proximity to grand central a plus. Will be back. Cool place for a late night drink

Mini tuna tacos were spicy but good. Smores parfait was very good. Service at bar was quick and attentive but service failed at the table after we were sat. Bartop tables were very close together and in a 15 min period our server visited our neighbors 2 feet away 5 times without once turning around to check on us, after drinks were dry plus our need to get water then later it took 10 mins just to get attention to pay- just two examples. But also after moving from bar to table and informing waitress bar had my credit card she immediately leaves and returns 5 - 10 mins later with just dropping card in front of me and gone so fast I didn't see her (I was facing wall). Space is cool and worth visiting but one particular waitress needs some coaching.

Established in 2017 the Campbell Bar is a tucked away drinking cove in Grand Central Station. The space is beautiful and warm. It has a vibe of elegance but the quite understated kind. Nothing over the top. The drinks are on the pricey side too but I'm not sure if the quality matches with some of the other spaces I've visited. I went through most of the experience unassisted Here's what I had: Gingle Cherry Gin, Rosemary, cherry lime and egg white. A reasonable cocktail that doesn't do anything super special but taste fine. There is a bit of salinity in the drink but that could be from the paper straw. 👏🏾👏🏾 Apples and Agave - It does what it says on the tin. The warm notes of the cinnamon play so well with the aged agave. This is a delicious drink. Not sure how they are sweetening this drink be it the cider or a syrup but if it was beefed up with a little more texture this would be unstoppable. Reposado, apple cider, Cointreau, lime and cinnamon. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Nordic Air - Sir Davis(Beyonce Rye), Swedish punsch, aperol and lemon. This reminds me of an Aperol drink that i can't put my finger on but its just the right amount of bitter to sweet with a touch of sour. 👏🏾👏🏾

Beautiful bar, wonderful story, horribly rude, indignant bartender. We found so many wonderful, service-forward bars and restaurants in the city, I'd NEVER recommend anyone wasting their time or money here. Just too many great spots in the city.
