“ A hidden gem in midtown with vibes that hit just right!! This is one of the topnotch cocktail bars I have been to in NYC! What really sets Madame George apart is the incredibly striking ambience. The lighting inside is low and warm, with plush velvet seating, candlelit tables, and vintage feels that make you feel like you have stepped into an entirely different era. Add to that the live music and the place is an atmospheric delight! Their cocktails are downright delicious! Every drink is crafted with intention and a touch of flair. Which is paired with a delectable menu that goes way beyond—i loved their raw oyster tower. Their chicken and shrimp appetizers were such flavor-bombs as well!! The low for me was the service. Which was quite slow. Whether it’s getting your first drink or waiting on a follow-up order, the bar staff and servers seem overwhelmed and busy. It’s not for lack of friendliness but it feels like the pace isn’t keeping up with the place’s charm. Overall, Madame George is a mood! A place to sink into good conversations, sway to live tunes, and indulge your palate. This place is an indulgent experience you can’t miss! Super recommend for a girls’ night, date night or just fun night! ”
“ Low key speakeasy. Drinks were ok. Presentation was very cool! We watched a female vocalist that was very cool. Looks like a perfect setup for a comedy club or a performer! ”
