Profile

Cellar Bar feels like Disney World's take on an "authentic" wine cellar, complete with a vaulted gray brick ceiling and medieval chandeliers. After-work singles and hotel guests sit at the candlelit bar, munching wasabi peas and swilling expensive cocktails. Scantily clad waitresses in Victoria's Secret corsettes deliver bar food to guests reclining on leather couches, carefully patrolling the room to ensure high turnover. Yet despite its naked ambition to join the club of trendy hotel bars, this one leaves you with the unmistakable feeling that this cellar is oversold. — Christopher Brescia

I agree 100% with the reviewer. This place is all gimmick and the proprietors don't believe New Yorkers can tell the difference. Still, if what you are looking for is a meat market I suppose it may serve some purpose. This is a place for people who would rather find a quick romance at the Eiffel Tower Hotel in Las Vegas than experience the beauty of Paris. It's trendy but I don't think it will last long.
