Lantern's Keep

Gus was an absolute delight to talk to, the place was quite empty after a weekday dinner outing which my sister and I thoroughly enjoyed. We decided to let the bartender conjure up our drinks for the night, all three were fantastic! Will definitely come back here again

Showed up early to get my name on the list for this place as they don’t take reservations. Gus was the guy from Lantern’s Keep who greeted me at the door saying that I was not “eligible” to be “on the list” because my “whole party was not present”...Okay, Gus, I’m not asking to be seated, just on the list since your establishment does not take reservations and according to the rules posted, the one you were pressing on me is not an “actual rule”Get it together, Gus. Please raise your hand if you have felt personally victimized by Gus 🙋🏻‍♀️

Been to this place only once, but hope to come back again. Best time to come this place is mid afternoon, the place is pretty much empty during that time. Tried two very unique cocktails, can't remember the names, that's how good they are. The place has nice low lighting, and couches in the back. The drinks can be a bit pricey, and it's impossible to get in on a weekend.

Go with the chef's special and just the bartender/server what you like in your drink and you'll get the best experience

Great late-night cocktail bar, fixed price of $16/drink which is pretty good for the location. Inventive menu, plus an option to just tell the bartender what youre feeling and get a cocktail back. Tiny space.

I kinda balked at a $16 cocktail, and figured it was just par for the course in trendy Manhattan bars. It was actually a really incredible drink, and the waiter and bartender were able to give a pretty nuanced description of the flavors. I couldn't make a habit of going here, but it was really pleasant for a nightcap.

Very cozy spot, great for meeting close friends, insofar as I'd think it's a great spot to bring business prospects as well. Lantern's Keep has a true "early 1900's feel," maybe even a sort of speakeasy feel. Patrons keep classy and quiet enough that you can actually have a conversation and have it be easily heard at your own party's table, and, save for the bustling of masterful drinks being made at the bar, I'd argue that it's not easy to find such a gem in NYC wherein you can actually hear your own thoughts and share in conversation.

Old school (as in prohibition-era) cocktails.The place is dark and somewhat glossy, and totally in keeping with the "upscale speakeasy" trend that has been sweeping through the country recently (or has it petered out?).That said, there is nothing wrong with the (quite excellent!) cocktails. They are crafted (word used intentionally) take a wee bit to make, but are very, very worth it - pretty much something that you sit back and appreciate for the work that went into it.

Great cocktail bar! The drinks were amazing and prepared with fresh ingredients and care. I was lucky enough to sit at the bar and watch the bartenders at work. They really put in the extra effort and are passionate about their work. During my stay in the hotel I got to meet Natalia, Daniel and Gus. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the cocktails. You can also order small bites at the bar. I recommend the cheese plate. Excellent. Can’t wait to go back.

Awesome hand-crafted cocktails in a small, dark, & comfortable space by The Sofitel. We were super lucky that a group was leaving as we entered. Great service & great music playing too! The McKittrick Old Fashioned was amazing & the West Side Rumble was really good as well. They had a small selection of wine & beer also. If you're nearby & love good cocktails, make sure to try to get in here!

Great environment and drinks, pricey though

Wonderful, sophisticated bar, but more like a private home's comfortable entertaining space. Ambiance old world and cozy. The barkeeep is a charming fellow and the prohibition era drinks are splendid. A New York City 'must.'

Original and delicious drinks. Cozy atmosphere. Service could have been better.

Good drinks, average price for NYC ie expensive, good service. Came for soft opening of the new year, so some things weren't fully ready yet, but still came away with a positive experience. Tried a gin fino Sherry cynar cocktail that was well balanced, as well as another gin sour that was tasty. Small location but worth checking out.

Fantastic place to go for quality cocktails and atmosphere in Midtown. The Oaxacanite is my favorite cocktail on their current list. Their Sherry Cobbler is delicious. Although been wishing for one with blackberry, maybe for the winter months? Service is always welcoming and professional.
