The Campbell is the quintessential speak-easy bar tucked away in a quiet corner of Grand Central Station. In fact, I have walked by the entrance countless times without realizing it was there.
This is a place you go for the atmosphere over all other considerations. It is genuinely unique and interesting. The drinks are solid, but I did take a point off for their very expensive prices. The food choices are very basic and the menu is, honestly, a bit strange…. From olives to mini lobster rolls to chocolate chip cookies… huh?
It is a small place, and it can get crowded, so best to make a reservation. It’s not an ‘everyday’ bar, but it’s worth checking out for the history.
You would think that the highlights in New York should be the sights... During our stay, it was the Campbell Bar.
Apart from the incredible cocktails, the bartender Justin was simply the best in the whole bar!
Someone who must also be mentioned is Fred, he has contributed significantly to our well-being! Thank you for everything!
Everyone was so welcoming, we got surprise cocktails & on top of that local tips for restaurants to visit!
We were in New York for 7 days, 4 of which we spent our evenings at the Campbell, once we were even there twice! (As you can see, we were thrilled)
A big thank you to the whole team for giving us an unforgettable stay!
We will definitely see you next year!
A wonderful place to grab a reservation for a drink and a bite in Grand Central with a dark, romantic, old school vibe. The menu prices reflect the location. I really enjoyed the Picante Conde. We asked for the cheese plate to be meat free and got a cheese plate with a huge amount of one type of cheese. Overall, it's a fun spot to check out but mostly for the location.
