I think of New York as the center of the universe, and this bar is at the center of that universe. A unique speakeasy attached to Grand Central Terminal with great cocktails. The Campbell Apartment, a luxuriously decorated bar in the former private office of John Williams Campbell, will be reborn as The Campbell. “It’s such a beautiful room,” he told the Times. “You don’t expect to see what you see. Ranked 1 for cocktail bars in Midtown East. Hidden Bar in Grand Central Terminal Reopens An ornate, hard-to-find bar in Grand Central Terminal will reopen on May 24, after being shuttered for almost a year. The bar’s new owners were mindful about maintaining the unique history of The Campbell Apartment, from the wood bar to the beloved bartender, Paris DuRante, who has worked there for the past 16 years. DuRante told the New York Times he was thrilled to be mixing classic cocktails at the Campbell. Not to worry, though: It still feels exclusive.

The updated Campbell forgoes a dress code and the owners have added some extra signage to make it easier to find and slightly less secret than before. Guests can now sip a classic cocktail in two other spaces in addition to the original apartment: Campbell Palm Court, a small bar outside the apartment, or the Campbell Terrace, an outdoor bar built in an area that used to be a taxi stand. After Campbell’s death, the space was restored and and turned into a gorgeous, ornately decorated cocktail bar.Īfter closing last summer for renovations and an expansion, the bar reopened earlier this year in its most glorious incarnation yet. The 3,500 square-foot space has been used as a studio for CBS, a railroad jail and, most famously, the office of millionaire financier John Campbell, who used to host parties there after hours.
The Campbell Apartment gets its name from its unique origins. Climb the stairs to the upper level of the Metro-North train hub at New York City’s Grand Central Station, and you’ll find one of the city’s truly hidden gems: The Campbell Apartment, a historic cocktail bar with serious style.
