Whisky Bar · Hell's Kitchen · 47 tips and reviews
emily mcgill: Over 150 whiskers behind the bar, friendly bartenders and a small space so it always feels intimate.
Denis Sosnovtsev: Dark and intimate atmosphere, with a focus on the wall of whiskey. The ambience and whiskey selection are great, but you pay through the roof for 'em. Talking $17 a whiskey. 😬
Josh R: Service and selection is great! Small and intimate atmosphere.

Danica Y: Get the green pasta! So creamy and the shrimp is just right. Very chill vibe with candlelight and they project old movies on the wall. Good choice for date night.
Eleonora Zorzi: Tasty food, but super loud, won't recommend for an intimate conversation.
Rica Corazon: Everything was so good from Beet Salad to the amazing Green Pasta!

French Restaurant · Hell's Kitchen · 197 tips and reviews
Lloyd: A 3 Michelin Star & World's Top 50 Best Restaurant (#11, 2013). Legendary Chef Thomas Keller's French Laundry counterpart. 2nd to none in service w/ a beautiful view and romantic ambience. Amazing!
Shindy C: Go for power lunch, not romantic dinner. Long tasting dinner, though hard to believe it's affiliated with French Laundry in Yountiville
Sam Dangremond: You can't go wrong with anything here, but the Butter Poached Lobster is especially delicious. Insiders know that the salon offers the opportunity to order as few as one or two dishes à la carte.

Jazz and Blues Venue · Hell's Kitchen · 92 tips and reviews
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: Go for the talent and ambiance at this legendary jazz venue. There's a variety of performers all year long, multiple acts per day, and a main dining room as well as a more intimate theatre-like venue
Gsus S.S.: Excellent show. Huge space for concerts... maybe not near to the typical small and intimate jazz venues but the atmosphere was incredible!
Rafael Kellermann Streit: Super nice place with live Jazz show. Recommend if you like a good food and Jazz.

Wine Bar · Hell's Kitchen · 108 tips and reviews
Marie La Rue: Good wine by the glass selection. Interior is cozy and romantic, perfect for dates. Menu is mostly small sharable plates. Visit for the wine, not necessarily a dining destination.
Charles Guerrero: Great wine list, and decent beer selection. The food is refined-- try the devilled eggs!
Serious Eats: A charming wine bar that stands above the rest in Hell's Kitchen. Small plates are great for snacking.

Vicky U: an intimate but rustic new spot that's definitely a cut above the usual HK haunts. Caesar Brussels sprouts salad is a must! short rib special, filet mignon, & great wine + cocktail list!
Jenna Petok: Great vegetable sides and the daily fresh baked bread is delicious
Matt Smink: Pretty good hipster joint. But the flannel wearing Lumineer listening type of hipster. Not the arm sleeve tattoo black rimmed glasses wearing hipster.

Lounge · Hell's Kitchen · 61 tips and reviews
Jeff Simmons: Great place away from the tourist crowds of the theatre district. Classy and romantic. No cocktail menu so you better come prepared already knowing your cocktail.
Albert Wenger: Lobster and crab roll. Fish tacos. Frisee salad with egg and bacon.
The New Yorker: “Bar Centrale is almost ostentatious in its understatement. The black-and-white photographs on the walls are of Joe’s friends, & musicians he likes. Until recently, there wasn’t even a cocktail list.” Read more.
