Mark MunroNovember 13, 2017Great tequila manhattan and piece sour. Steep prices, but definitely a spot with history.
Duncan MilneOctober 30, 2010If you win enough money from playing "spot the hooker" you'll be able to pay the cover charge
My favorite place to go when you want upscale atmosphere and lovely jazzy music. If you order a martini, you get a second one on the side!
Micki MaynardAugust 27, 2009Go after a black tie event. Marvel at Madeleine. Sip martinis. Is that Tony Bennett in the corner?
Michelle CMay 28, 2016Very expensive upscale establishment. Expect to pay $25 per mixed drink and $10+ for domestic beer. Unless you're wealthy, there are far better values out there.

Best remembered as creator of the classic Madeline books for children, Ludwig Bemelmans once joked he'd like his tombstone to read: "Tell Them It Was Wonderful." Well, it was, and still is, at Bemelmans Bar. Named in honor of the legendary artist, Bemelmans is a timeless New York watering hole.
