Cozy and aesthetic! Small but curated and well crafted signature cocktail list. Good place to start or even end evenings, as well as for getting some work done during the day too (with coffee of course :) )

We needed a place to get a drink and a bite to eat at 3pm on a weekday and the Lobby felt like the best option around us. Not super crowded. Good music that wasn’t too loud but gave it a fun vibe. Our bartender was super sweet and the drinks were fine. The best part was the food. It was actually delicious with decent size portions (for a hotel lobby bar). We had fun! We might have also made a little art projects with our food. So maybe a bit too much fun. We all had a laugh about it including our nice bartender. The birthday cake was AMAZING and I would come back for it. Overall great experience on a random weekday.

Edited Dec 2024: updated to 5 stars, I've had several visit since September, and service was definitely much better. Struck up a conversation with the bartender and they even told me how to make their Japanese Old Fashion; would definitely come back again. Edited 9/24: I live nearby and I've been to The Lobby at the Ace hotel a couple times and I always get the Japanese Old Fashioned. I came on a Saturday night and they said they were out of the Japanese Old Fashioned, but would definitely have it the next day Sunday. I came back the next day (through the rain) and when I asked for the Japanese Old Fashioned, they said they were still out. I would have been fine if they told me on Saturday they didn't know when they'd have the Japanese Old Fashioned in stock again, but telling me something that wasn't true and making me go through the rain and then not apologizing for still not having the drink available was pretty frustrating and annoying. Don't get me wrong, still a great place, ambiance is nice, but man, the service was not good this time around for me. ----- Cocktails here are very good, lots of seating, very swanky ambiance, great for dates

Very swanky and fun spot to get a cocktail and a bite. The atmosphere and interior design is super chic. The food is flavorful and the cocktails are creative. Can’t go wrong here.

One of my favorite bars in Brooklyn. Always cute pops ups or weekend events happening and the vibe is perfect. Twin Flame and Espresso Martini’s here always hit, one of my favorite Espresso Martinis in the city tbh. Love the design + lighting and the music usually too!

Brand new swanky bar inside the Ace hotel. Not crowded and relatively low key music. The sun pours in through two huge windows at the bar in the early evening. Come here for a relaxing drink after a long day at work. Lots of couches and varied seating. Cocktails are boozy and delicate.

The Lobby Bar at Ace Hotel Brooklyn is a good place for Big & Large Groups. Because there is a lot of space, a lot of big couches, for a big group to get drinks at. & you don’t need a reservation because the Lobby Bar is pretty big. Big enough space for the group to find seats or to stand to mingle with each other. They have a Big & Long Bar & usually staffed with 3 bartenders. So easy for a lot of ppl to get drinks even if they come all at once because they usually have a bunch of bartenders working. I've come here a bunch of times, & was here tonight-Thurs (2/1/24) grabbing a drink & then I saw a "Bus" of people from "Peter Pan's Fairy Land" just show up!! I assumed this big group of ~20ppl-25ppl getting drinks, was a Peter Pan Fairy Tale Land theme because most of them were wearing pajamas & Fairy Tale Land Head pieces. That’s seemed fun & a cool theme. Anyways, as mentioned, would recommend the place for big groups for drinking. Enjoy! P.S. I attached some pics of the bar & lobby space with all the ppl. (The bar is below those 2windows, behind all those ppl) Sorry I couldn’t get more close ups of everybody in pajamas. The pajamas did seem fun!

Great local spot for a night cap and a quick bite, especially after experiencing a great Liberty game.

It’s my absolute favorite bar in the city! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a wonderful atmosphere that just feels right. What really makes this bar stand out, though, is the people. If you get a chance to chat with Kyle, the manager, you’re in for a treat. He’s got this incredible ability to remember faces and names, making each visit more personal and welcoming. And the bartenders are super knowledgeable and friendly- I also had some of the best conversations with them, making each visit memorable! It was unfortunate that orange wine was not available on their menu 🥺 hope they change that in the future ✨

I live a few blocks away and had friends staying at the ace hotel. The lobby was so cute and cozy that I decided to check it out on my own. The food was fantastic and the service was nice. The atmosphere was the best part. It’s a good vibe!!

We danced here. It looked nice. The music needed better blending skills from the dj. He was all over the place, genre hopping, and couldn't maintain a vibe. Nice place. Great bathroom soap. It smelled really good.

Probably the nicest date/cocktail spot in all of NYC. Perfect balance of fantastic drinks, fun/lively vibe and private more intimate corners. A very sexy but classy environment; great ambiance...

Half hotel lobby, half cocktail lounge, this spacious bar has plenty of seating options and is adjacent to a "garden" nook and long table for guest laptop use. You can tap menu items from the onsite restaurant, As You Are, read a book in a cozy nook, or just sip well-made cocktails. Dogs are welcome (awesome!) so you may see them curled up at the feet of other guests.

The Lobby at the Ace Hotel in downtown Brooklyn offers lots of couch and table seating do to work cafe style. The bar is open during the day for coffee and even drinks and food. There is a long table area where lots of folks are getting work done and also an area where you can take phone calls. Music is on in the Lobby so it’s not super super quiet but something to keep in mind.

Very hip spot to work from or just to hang with friends in the lounge area. We had a couple light snacks (fries and beer salad) one night which were good. Breakfast items were average. Avoid the matcha, it was the clumpiest I've ever had and had to throw it out as it was not drinkable.

It's mid. Bar seats are uncomfortable because they're made out of wood. Beer selection is pretentious, rather than just serving good beer. Cocktails are a bit overpriced compared to the rest of the neighborhood. I had rose tonight, but the stems on the glassware we're still warm so it came up to room temp quickly. Music is good and the bartender was friendly. Not sure if I would be back because they don't really serve any of the liquor or beer I like
