The space is incredibly photogenic, with a dark, moody aesthetic that feels very Art Deco and timeless. It’s elegant without feeling stiff. After sharing photos on social media, several friends pointed out that this is the famous bar featured in Gossip Girl, which made the experience even more fun

We ordered a spinach dip, which was delicious, and a couple of cocktails that were very well crafted. The service was excellent. I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time, as it’s very hard to get a spot as a walk-in.

Overall, it’s a beautiful place with a strong New York character, perfect for drinks in a unique setting.

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.

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.

We visited NYC in February 2026. One night we popped into The Campbell and had the Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pigs in a Blanket (served with Dijonaise with just the right amount of horseradish to give it a pleasant kick), and the Kentucky Espresso Martini. It was the perfect remedy to battle the cold and windy elements outside. Service was great, food and drinks were delish, and the atmosphere was cozy and Old New York posh without being pretentious. It is definitely on my Recommend to Friends List and Must Return To List.

One of the best bars I’ve ever been to. Great atmosphere. It’s like stepping back in time. Scott the bartender is super friendly and makes amazing drinks. He shared a lot of the history of the Campbell and of NYC. Must visit for anyone who likes good drinks and a very unique place to have them.

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

I love this bar!

Its so cosy and feels exclusive.

I love that they have renovated the original features and made something beautiful in a train station full of new designs and buildings.

This is a little pricy but what a treat and completely in my opinion worth a visit

I recently hosted a corporate happy hour at The Campbell, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The venue itself is fantastic—beautiful ambiance, great energy, and a space that feels elevated yet welcoming. Many of our guests were already familiar with the bar and spoke highly of it even before the event, which made it an easy and exciting choice.

The staffing exceeded expectations. We had more than enough support throughout the evening, and the team ensured the space was consistently clean and well-maintained. The food was excellent, and everything was executed seamlessly.

Tara, our event manager, was truly outstanding. She was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, offering thoughtful recommendations and making accommodations as needed. Onsite, the staff was attentive, professional, and a pleasure to work with.

Overall, it was a great event, and we absolutely plan to return.
