Master Critic Review

Galerie Bar 7.9
Tribeca-Civic Center
Galerie Bar is the art-driven cocktail lounge at the Smyth Tribeca hotel, with fireplaces, velvet seating, and classic drinks that read more like an upscale living room than a typical happy hour spot. Bar snacks like pigs in a blanket, fries, and a serious burger make it a refined option for after-work drinks near Chambers Street.
Must-Try Dishes: Shrimp cocktail, Pigs in a blanket, Smyth Tavern burger with fries
