“Quiet and charming little place. Came there on a Saturday night for some awesome blues/jazz music (singer and guitarist were excellent). The bartender Gustavo is amazing and made me the best negroni I ever had. If you're looking for good chill vibes with great food and drinks then this place is highly recommended.”
“Beautiful bar with occasional jazz and delicious cocktails. Staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. I got the big apple cocktail because I love calvados and it did not disappoint. Their potato chips are also fabulous along side the avocado dip.”
“Bar Bastion has best bartender in New York, and I've sat in front of a few. The cocktails she makes are so balanced, bespoke and memorable it's going to be difficult to be impressed by cocktails anywhere else. You've got to hunt for WOW interiors in the sea of options in midtown, and if you end up here you found the WOW. I had the best time.”
“I got the side car cocktail which was delicious. It was on the sweeter side but still very light and citrusy. The service was a little slow but they seemed quite busy so I understand. The ambiance is so cute, I loved how aesthetic the bar was. Would definitely return.”
“I had a lovely evening at Bar Bastion. The atmosphere, the small plates offered, and drinks were amazing. Rachel made me the best lemon drop martini I have ever had.”
