Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Stinger Cocktail Bar and Kitchen delivers a vibrant atmosphere, especially during live music events. While the menu is limited, the "service is excellent," and the steak is "cooked to perfection." It's an ideal spot for pre-theater gatherings with standout cocktails. However, some find it "pricey" with mixed reviews on food quality.

Excellent for pre theatre. Portions to share were large but not overpriced and the wine pour was generous. Service was really good and friendly.

My bad review was due to an unexpected canceled reservation by the restaurant close to the time we were show up. But since then they have reached out with the generous offer to make up for our experience and have been very gracious about it. if I have a chance to return, I may change the review one. more time for the better.

Small but great selection of meals and appetizers. I loved the blackened salmon with spinach and polenta, also the 44th Street Quesadilla with steak. We tried several of their cocktails and all were wonderful from a Cosmo to an Old Fashioned. You do have to "request" the luxardo cherries in the old fashioned (they were advised not to serve them)
The Stinger Cocktail Bar and KitchenResponded on November 8, 2024
Denise, Thank you so much for your review. We have 4 different types of old fashioned that we are very proud of. I will let the staff know of your comments. We hope you come back!
