Interesting drink menu & they actually bring nuts with the drinks! The food selections are varied but not numerous. We enjoyed the lettuce wraps with a nice shrimp filling and the mushroom panini. If you're in the area and looking for a bite before the show, I recommend the mezze platter. It will do fine for 2 as a before the show snack.

I brought my mom here before we saw Smash on Broadway & we LOVED IT! Fabulous cocktails, incredible service, & lovely food. Will be returning just for the sweet potato fries, they were a little too good. It was the perfect experience & I certainly recommend dining here!
The Stinger Cocktail Bar and KitchenResponded on 7 June 2025
Daniel, thank you for your 5-star review! We're thrilled you and your mom had such a great time before Smash. Those sweet potato fries really are delicious - we completely understand wanting to come back just for them! Thanks for the recommendation, and we can't wait to see you again soon!

This place is located as part of the intercontinental hotel but it had a nice vibe. It is sort of the hotel’s bar and restaurant. Glass of wine with a generous pour. And some nice food selections.
