Campbell new york bar

After Campbell’s death, the space was restored and and turned into a gorgeous, ornately decorated cocktail bar.Īfter closing last summer for renovations and an expansion, the bar reopened earlier this year in its most glorious incarnation yet.

The 3,500 square-foot space has been used as a studio for CBS, a railroad jail and, most famously, the office of millionaire financier John Campbell, who used to host parties there after hours. The Campbell Apartment gets its name from its unique origins. Climb the stairs to the upper level of the Metro-North train hub at New York City’s Grand Central Station, and you’ll find one of the city’s truly hidden gems: The Campbell Apartment, a historic cocktail bar with serious style.
