About this business

For more than 50 years, this classic bar in the Carlyle Hotel has provided fine cocktails, scotches and whiskeys that are swilled in a nostalgic art-deco atmosphere. The bar is noted for its whimsical murals of author/artist Ludwig Bemelmans, creator of the popular Madeline children's books. The spot also features piano jazz Monday through Saturday and there is a cover to sit at the bar or at a table.

Bemelmans Bar is iconic - a “must do” when in The City! The room’s murals are stunning, the live music is always on point and the service is exceptional.

I stopped in on my 60th birthday for a pre theater martini. I thought it would be so special, but I was marginalized and made to feel common. I’ll never get that day back and wish I had gone elsewhere.

Bemelman’s is the most wonderful place in the world. You’re instantly transported to another place and time - a time of class, romance - and jazz. Wonderful atmosphere and the service is impeccable. Thank you to the Carlyle staff for your gracious service.
