Enjoy a fine cigar, single malt scotch, and live music at one of the most exclusive lounges in New York City.
Conveniently located steps from Carnegie Hall, Central Park, and Times Square, The Carnegie Club is a magnificent space that’s both grand and intimate. It provides a classic and sophisticated backdrop of hand-carved 18th century bookcases filled with a wide assortment of leather-bound titles, a stone fireplace, 20 foot ceilings, and several cigar humidors--all offset by plush furnishings.

The Carnegie Club is also home to New York City’s longest running Sinatra Show featuring Steven Maglio and the Stan Rubin 11-Piece Orchestra which have been dazzling audiences for over two decades.

All guests must be 21+ only.

    "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere." This is the feeling I got when I walked into the Carnegie Club. We were already in great spirits after an spectacular performance at the Lincoln Center, and finishing our night with the Sinatra Nights will be a memory that my brother, our spouses, and I will cherish for times to come. The cocktails were excellent, and the elegant atmosphere is what you must experience in NYC. The music was just unbeatable for a venue with such a beautiful ambiance. We will see each other again soon at Carnegie Club. Thank you!

    The Carnegie Club is always fantastic. The night we were there, the usual entertainer was not there and someone was in his place. He was very good and it was a great show. However, it would have been appropriate for them to let us know when we booked the reservation that the usual entertainer was not going to be there that evening. That's my only complaint. It was a wonderful evening and I highly recommend The Carnegie Club.

    Made reservations, for the “premium” seating. They sat us on the stairs, and we had to shuffle out of the way every few minutes. So embarrassing. The cocktails sucked. And on top of that they had a substitute for the Main act and didn’t let anyone know. Disappointed. Place isn’t very clean. Nothing classy or upscale about it.
    The Carnegie Club Cocktail and Cigar LoungeResponded on October 7, 2024
    Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. The table you were seated at is one of our more popular spots, but we understand it does come with a fair amount of foot traffic, and we apologize if that impacted your comfort during the evening. We also regret that the cocktails didn’t meet your expectations and that you weren’t informed about the substitute for the main act. We'll work on improving communication in these cases. Cleanliness and maintaining an upscale environment are very important to us, and we’ll be addressing your concerns with the team immediately. We appreciate your input and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with the premium experience we aim for.

    We paid $40 per person for the Sinatra night and got seated behind a wall where we couldn't even see the show. Waste of money and time, very disappointed. Also, for some reason, the band didn't play any of the "hits", and we saw around us everyone was confused about that as well.
    The Carnegie Club Cocktail and Cigar LoungeResponded on October 7, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for your disappointing experience during Sinatra night. We understand how frustrating it must have been to be seated in a location where you couldn't fully enjoy the show, and we're sorry that this impacted your evening. Regarding the music selection, we appreciate your input and will pass along the feedback to the band to ensure they're delivering the experience our guests expect. Your concerns are important to us, and we’d like to make it right. Please reach out to us at 212-980-9476.
