Manhattan Bar - Bar & Restaurant on BumRes.com (For more pictures and Menu)
We were invited to review the Manhattan Bar at the JW
Marriot. The restaurant was doing a
campaign, Wine Gone Mad in Manhattan.
The details are as following, two choices for each red and white wine,
new world and old world. Each glass is
on sale at 99++ baht, which I would say it is pretty cheap, if considered the
Wine by Glass in restaurants. Normally
the price is around 200 baht. Besides
the wine, the Manhattan has the Tapas to go with it as well. Four choices of Tapas in a plate for 100++
baht, quite a good deal, isn’t it?
Manhattan Bar is the newest restaurant of this hotel. I believe it is supposed to be the pre-party
place for New York Steakhouse or any other pub and restaurants later in the
night. The intention of this small wine
bar is simply to attract people for a quick visit earlier in the evening to
warm up or to hang out after work to avoid the stress of the rush hour traffic. There are plenty of alcoholic drink
selections; from wine to fancy cocktails.
For food, there is a menu with a few choices of appetizer style food and
tapas.
For the four glasses of wine that we got to try, I didn’t expect it to be great or anything because often times special promotion wines are cheaper grade. But, surprisingly these wines were much better than I expected. For its quality, people would have no problem paying 200 baht for it. Great wine deal!
For Tapas on this visit, we had 16 items on four
plates. From my understanding, Tapas is
European but it also has the Mediterranean feel. We have cold cuts, parma ham, pickled veggies,
and imported oysters from France. To be
honest, I didn’t look for the gourmet impression here. Everything was basic, good to pair up with
your drink as snacks. If you want to
enjoy eating, this place won’t be the one.
One of the dishes outside the Tapas menu was the Caramel
Pork Belly (Served with Pomelo Salad and Tamarind port wine – 220 baht). This dish was the braised pork belly that
gets seared and roasted afterward. Sweet
glazed over the crispy skin and inside was very savory and tender. For 220++ baht it was a wonderful menu to
enjoy with a glass of good red wine while chitchatting with friends and kill
time.
The Manhattan Bar’s dark décor with the easygoing lounge
seating style was very charming. With
the location of the hotel near the BTS station, this is a good place to gather
a group of friends together prior to heading out for a night life. You can go there for nightlife mood setting
with a glass of wine or two, eat light before the clubbing. The service wasn’t to be complained; good
looking and service minded staffs will take good care of you. Well, if you get a chance, check it out!
