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.

    We had a reservation and were able to get seated a little early, which was unexpected but so nice. Our waitress Hannah was so friendly and the food and mocktails were delicious!

    The food and service were wonderful! However, it was comical that they charged me an additional $2 because I chose to not out ice in my bourbon??? I mean real how is that even a thing? Bizarre

    Service was terrible. It took about 45 minutes to get food. We had to walk around and find someone to get our check and no one checked on us. Food was cold and dry except for the burger that one person in our party ordered
