Theater District
Please call for parties over 4 guests. Your table will be held for 15 minutes.
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 hosted a customer dinner here with 32 folks in attendance. Each person left with a smile! The Hits 2 menu absolutely DELIVERED. From the opening apps to the Wagyu presentation to mains and wrapping up with desserts - not a plate was left empty. The staff went above and beyond to make sure drinks were filled, guests were taken care, and ensured everyone was able to enjoy themselves! Daniel, the manager onsite that day, was stellar. He ensured we were taken care of and service was exceptional. Every guest left full. It was the perfect venue to wrap up our conference. Thank you all that made the evening possible!

Highly recommend as it’s a top 5 restaurant in NYC in my book. One of the only places in NY to have a killer pasta menu and steak menu. Highly recommend the empanadas, Fettuccini with argentine langoustines in pink sauce, and one of the steaks, ideally their skirt steaks with grilled onions and peppers. Chimichurri with the bread tops it all off.

The scaffolding and abandoned properties with trash took away from the ambiance.
