Decided to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday at a Sinatra Saturday show. Made reservations about 2 months in advance. Well worth it!!! Our waiter was JEFF and he was AMAZING!! Carried himself so well, which added to our experience. He treated us with care and was very attentive. The drinks were strong and made to perfection. Probably the best drinks I’ve had so far. The show was incredible, my boyfriend even got a birthday shout-out!! Beautiful place!! 10/10

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently spent a magical evening at The Carnegie Club and it absolutely delivered on all fronts. From the moment we arrived at 156 West 56th Street in Midtown (between 6th & 7th Avenues) the ambiance transported us to an elegant, old-New York world of plush leather seating, 20-foot ceilings, and rich wood-panelled bookcases. We were there for one of the signature "Sinatra Saturday" shows — live orchestra, vocalist, full swing mood. The music was top-tier, immersive, and made the evening feel like a proper night-out occasion. The drinks were excellent (I strongly recommend the old-fashioned) and the cigar selection is noteworthy for aficionados. If you like cigar/lounge culture, this is a go-to destination. Some notes for others: Dress smart-casual: the place leans upscale. If you’re not into cigars or smoke, be aware that the lounge has a noticeable cigar-bar aroma. (For cigar lovers this is part of the charm.) Reservations are wise for the live-music nights — seats fill up and you’ll want a good view of the band. Prices reflect the premium experience (location, ambiance, live show), so prepare accordingly. Overall: If you’re looking for a refined, memorable night out in NYC — complete with live music, great drinks, and vintage lounge vibes — The Carnegie Club hits it with style. I can’t wait to go back.

Came for the Sinatra Friday 10:30pm show - booked in advance and shown upstairs to our table, the view was limited but we knew this would probably be the case going in. There were little screens dotted around so you could see him and the band even if restricted view. The atmosphere was great, cocktails nice and live music outstanding! My partner enjoyed the old NY vibe, the brass band and the Churchill cigar. Only downside is you do leave smelling of cigar smoke even if you don’t smoke! But hey, it was an excellent evening!!

Love the atmosphere and the vibe of The Carnegie Club. Great drink selection and service was fantastic. The smoke eaters worked great and we were able to get a table without a reservation. Wish the had more of a cigars variety. Also be aware there is a sticker shock built into the experience for the smokes. You will pay a premium for this experience.

Bacon wrapped meatballs, crab cake bites, amazing. Old fashioned was made perfectly. One of the nicest cigar lounges anywhere. Really enjoyed the comfortable seating. Corporate event upstairs. Very high priced. Not for anyone on a budget. Unfortunately in this town, there are very few places to enjoy a cigar when the weather forces you inside.

One of my favorite cigar lounge in New York City. Christina, the bartender is very attentive and makes the best Espresso Martini ever. She puts love into it. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. I will definitely be going back again.
