About this restaurant

Lively
Great for happy hour
Great for creative cocktails

Please call for parties over 4 guests. Your table will be held for 15 minutes.
The Elgin is a bar & restaurant serving upscale fare situated just south of Rockefeller Center & steps from Broadway & Times Square. Our goal is to provide sophisticated cocktails, a carefully curated craft & seasonal beer list, amazing food in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Please join us!
The Elgin’s 4 main principals, Peter Pernicone, Darwin Conner, Paul Baum & Christine Trauben, have known each other for 30 years. They all grew up on the lower west side of NYC in Chelsea & had a goal of owning a bar together & could not be more excited about opening The Elgin. As an acknowledgment of their collective history, they named a signature cocktail—the Chelsea 1724—after their neighborhood. Darwin & Paul grew up in Chelsea on 17th St and Peter & Christine lived on 24th St. They are joined by Patrick Callaghan who has been working with Peter for many years.

The hummus was underwhelming this evening, but the fries and drinks were great as always. A frozen moscow mule is a hard one to change off.

Our server was wonderful, don't recall her name unfortunately, but she was from Ireland. Very loud but that's the nature of the place. We enjoyed the drinks and felt that the pricing was actually reasonable based on an otherwise touristy location (we're New Yorkers).

We sat outside, so ambiance and noise level were less than stellar, but we were still able to hear each other and our server. Food and service were fantastic and prices were reasonable. Great experience!

We had a great meal at The Elgin. It was our first time dining there, and we would definitely go back I had the lamb burger which was incredible! Friendly greeting at the check in desk, and our server (Zack) was great. Restaurant is very convenient to Radio City Music Hall so I'd highly recommend eating here if you're attending anything. Our only complaint was that the restaurant had 2 very large groups eating in the upstairs area, which caused delays in the delivery of our meals. Still I'd go back hoping that it was a one-time issue.

Our table was ready when we arrived. The hum of the night had set in, with a great upscale but relaxed tavern vibe. If I worked in times square I could see myself happy houring with friends here. Our meals were fantastic. Service was quick and attentive. Ir was a great overall experience.

Ambiance in this place was very energetic and quite loud. It's a great place for grabbing drinks with colleagues. Definitely a bar feel. We sat towards the back and the wait staff was very attentive and was courteous. Really liked that aspect of the place. We ordered drinks and some aps. The tuna poke nachos was very good. Chips were a bit stale but the taste overall was good. Could have had a bit more tuna and sauce to really get the dipping. We ordered the olive dip, not a fan. It was like blue cheese with olives and it was not thick. We also had the sloppy joe empanadas. Overall it was good but it definitely was not sloppy. I was expecting it to be more saucy and messy but it was a regular empanada with meat inside. Taste was good. Drinks were good! Nothing to really say about that. Overall good experience. Would go again but with a crew and get loud!
