Bar Pleiades Hotel Bar / Lounge

Upper East Side, New York –

An elegant addition to restaurateur Daniel Boulud’s impressive New York credits, Bar Pleiades and its luxurious Chanel-inspired design attracts an affluent but casual local clientele looking for great conversation and exquisite cocktails.

Situated in the lobby of the swanky Surrey Hotel, the bar boasts a striking black-and-white art deco décor with plenty of comfy upholstered chairs and leather banquettes to accommodate the upscale local business people and posh hotel guests stopping in for early evening drinks.

A couple of cozy semi-enclosed rooms with tufted walls, club chairs, and plush banquettes offer a more intimate space for groups, while those dropping by for a quick drink before heading home can hang out at the sleek bar to watch the mixologists whip up selections from the rotating menu of seasonal cocktails.

A low but constant buzz of conversation mixes with the ambient music to create a warm and laid-back atmosphere conducive to romantic dates or just a mellow night with friends over some delectable plates of charcuterie and croquettes from Café Boulud.

Surprisingly inviting and unpretentious, Bar Pleiades has become a popular destination for stylish but dressed-down Upper East Siders who appreciate the venue’s 30s-style elegance and soothing vibe.
