Theater District

About the restaurant

Please call for parties over 4 guests. You 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.

Nice atmosphere, great food and great service. Tuna poke nachos and turkey sandwich were top notch. A bit pricey for a bar type restaurant, but that’s NYC I guess. Will definitely be back.

It doesn’t matter what time your reservation is, you will have to wait at least 30 minutes. That part of the dinning experience was horrible; however, the food was amazing.
