King Cole fresco commands this historic room at the St Regis. Worth a stop for the old New York atmosphere. Seasoned, knowledgeable bar staff . Heavy tourist crowd on weekends. Astronomical prices.
The Bar is an institution in NYC! The drinks are well servers and the food is great. I love the classy atmosphere and the staff is friendly , educated and always give you a world class service. Cheers!
The bar is nice, of that there is no doubt. Apparently the birthplace of the Bloody Mary . The Red Snapper is heir house version of the brunch classic. It's good but you expect fireworks for $25!!!
The King Cole Bar is great for business meetings - elegant, quiet , and historic. In 1934, the Bloody Mary was created here. The St. Regis is part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts , a FORTUNE 500 company.
KCB&S is the spot where the first-ever Bloody Mary was served (though back in the '30s, it was known as the 'Red Snapper '). Essential Cocktail : The Bloody Mary
The birthplace of the Bloody Mary . We trust you will love your time at this classic NYC institution. Give it a rating on Wyngspan: http://bit.ly/1iuo89b
Upscale hotel bars are some of my favorite places to go for drinks-St. Regis is no exception. BE SURE to ask the bartender for the secret behind the mural at the bar -you'll never look at it the same!
No matter the time of day order a Bloody Mary . They are said to have been 1st served here. If a traditional bloody is not your thing, no worries. There's a diff one for each city that has a St Regis.
The Red Snapper (the original Bloody Mary ) is extremely tasty, quite spicy but not overly so. Also goes great with the tuna if you're looking for a snack .
I feel so at home here. So much history, so much booze, so many Bloody Mary's !
Iconic. Stunning interior and high priced but sting drinks. Ask for Angel.
This spot is considered the birthplace of the Bloody Mary , or so the story goes. The bar serves their Snappers a bit pricey but they come with tasty gourmet nuts , wasabi peas and a slice of history. Read more

The Bloody Mary was invented here. Excellent cocktail ! Cheers
Pretty awesome drinks. Bloody Marys go down easy. One drinky, two drinky, three drinkies, floor (novices!!). :-)
They may have invemeted the Bloody Mary here, but the is no clue of it in the pale "tomato juice , pepper and vodka " version of it here + Barman was rude. 2/10 #dissatisfied #imakebetterbloodymary
Try the Madison cocktail . Its one stiff cocktail !
The birthplace of the Bloody Mary - aka the red snapper !
Make sure you’re dressed appropriately as there’s a strict after 5 o’clock dress code. Once here ask Gavin to make you a Bloody Mary (they were born here).
Classy , cozy bar...great bar food and service
Gorgeous spot, very good cocktails . Can be tough to get a spot however.
The birthplace of the Red Snapper (Bloody Mary ). An iconic bar . Limited seating .
Cool setting but prices are 🔝 tho the Bloody Mary is claimed to have been invented here 🤔
Beautiful hotel .. Someone has good taste... She knows who she is ;)
Super Bloooody! Too spicy but really good!
This legendary bar is just a small section of St Regis’s otherwise fairly bland lobby.
Kick it SUPER old school here. Order a Bloody...they were born here after all. Upscale and classic.
Order a Red Snapper , later known as Bloody Mary .
Inventors of the Bloody Mary . Not to be missed.
Great ambiance! Must try the Bloody Mary !
Got the Shogun Mary, wasn't impressed. A gin martini with tomato juice , for the price of a entree at most places. It wasn't very busy and we weren't waited on very attentively
Fantastic martinis .
