Legendary Bar in the UES
Description
Bemelmans Bar – Iconic Piano Bar at The Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan
Step into timeless New York elegance at Bemelmans Bar, located inside The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel, at 35 E 76th St, New York, NY 10021. Since opening in 1947, this legendary piano bar has been a gathering place for celebrities, socialites, politicians, and artists, known for its sophisticated Art Deco design, world-class cocktails, and nightly live music.
Adorned with famed murals by Ludwig Bemelmans, creator of the Madeline children’s books, the bar radiates a golden glow with its gold leaf ceiling, leather banquettes, and intimate piano performances. Guests savor an extensive drink menu—most notably the bar’s celebrated martinis—while basking in an atmosphere that balances glamour, nostalgia, and modern-day allure.
Why Bemelmans Bar Stands Out:
Historic Art Deco design with murals by Ludwig Bemelmans
Live piano music nightly, continuing a 75+ year tradition
Extensive cocktail program with iconic martinis
Rich history of celebrity visitors, from Frank Sinatra to Paul McCartney
