Our Guestbook
“ Very neat, upscale bar with a speakeasy feel in an unmarked old brown stone building. Cocktails are amazing, my favorite is the aviation. Food is good, many small plate options. Prices are high as expected for the area, but I believe worth it. We have brought a lot of visitors here and everyone always enjoys it. Staff is friendly. There is a no standing room policy, I highly recommend making reservations but they often have same day availability. ”
“ On this crowded theater district street hides this little gem. A discreet brownstone door leads you into a dark and classy pre or better yet post theater bar. Go in. This place feels like it is here just for you! Wonderfully professional service from everyone inside. Terrific bartender and delicious and classy cocktails. Regulars and out of owners blend together and all treated with value. The food was top notch and absolutely delicious. I will be back as this bar rose to the ranks of my favorites! ”
“ Took my granddaughter and a friend to MSG for a concert, my son and daughter-in-law tagged along. Neither of them is comfortable driving in the city, hence my chauffer's duties. Where to kill some time while waiting? We found ourselves in the Theater District, and I found this gem. My son was dressed from work, my DIL and I in much more casual clothes but we were made to feel right at home. A few small plates and some cocktails, a lovely space and really nice staff. My wife and I like to hit a few shows a year and this will be a stop before or after. Our server suggested calling about a week prior for a rez and said if you tell them which show you're seeing they'll know when to book you in; very helpful. Bar Centrale made our evening! ”
“ Best deviled eggs we have ever had! Ate them all and then ordered some togo to eat back at the hotel... except we couldn't wait and ate them on the walk back! ”
“ Great place! If you're looking for a quiet place with an chill atmosphere in the heart of the theater district of Time Square, this is it. You have to look though no signs. 13 tables and an 8 seat bar with no standing area. It is a welcome relief to the madness that is downtown NYC. Off the beaten path and worth a stop. ”
“ Sheryl and Evelyn took care of us! They are amazeballs! Service and food was awesome! ”
“ Kirby Lyle is the best. We love to come to the bar because of him! ”

The first night we sat at the bar, and had a great time. special mention for the bartender who is extremely friendly, and who served us very good cocktails. we came back just for him the next day, and we once again had a very pleasant time. so thank you from two French people who enjoyed discovering this hidden and soothing place in a neighborhood with an effervescent atmosphere ”
