“The only drawback is that it is a 'high traffic' area as the bar is located in the 57th street entrance to "Le Parker Meridien" hotel.”
“Knave occupies part of the lobby of the Meridien, so it is a narrow room, with high ceilings and mirrored walls.”
“The gothic chandeliers and the dark red velvet loveseats transport you to a place of intrigue and seduction.”

This was a great hotel inside the Parker Meridien hotel. The decor inside is very unique. The booths are great and the bartender, Beata is amazing. We came right after eating at Burger joint and had a great time. Its quiet so come here on a date or with your partner to have a quiet drink in an upscale environment.
This is an esthetically sexy lounge. Despite the insanely high price of their beverages, I love the place. I feel transported. The red, gothic chandeliers hung from the massively high ceilings, marble walls decorated with blood red curtains. It feels almost as if you're in a renaissance era space. In the early evening, it's dark and romantic. Although it's a large space and accommodate a large number of people, it still feels intimate.
The service is professional, almost European. The wine list is not extensive and you don't necessarily get what you pay for, but it's a great spot to sit yourself down if you need to get away from the midtown hustle.
If you're headed to Drybar to get your hair blown (which is in the Le Meridien)…it's a great spot to stop in before or after your "blown".
Big fan in the Parker lobby. Great service, drinks are reasonable and you can talk at this place.
Came in here twice.
**1st Time**
Sis, cousin and me went here for a night cap after all our arrival in the city. It was their last call but thankfully they allowed us to stay. I ordered the "Big Apple Sidecar" and man, that drink was NO JOKE. First sip, took me out of my element. Definitely made me sleep that night!
**2nd Time**
Friend and I came here to get coffee, to refuel for the pending MET museum. That was definitely a good call since their soy mocha was well worth it! It was creamy, well made, and I was a fan!
Overall… friendly service both in the evening and in the afternoon. Definitely would recommend for both occasions.
I grabbed a quick drink with a girl friend while staying here on a work trip. Lots of teams attending the US Open were here but regardless, the staff were friendly, quick and the atmosphere of the bar is really lovely with deep velvet couches, a nice wine selection and they bring delicious complimentary bites—quick fried stuffed olives, smoked mixed nuts and other bites. It was a very relaxed place where everyone was just hanging out having casual drinks with no rush by the staff. Note–large wine pours :). I would gladly go back for drinks if I stay at the hotel again.
Came here because of other Yelp reviews and close to the Essex House where we were staying.
The coffee bar is very swanky with a long hall from the entrance to the other end where the hotel reception is.
The barista was friendly and knew a lot about coffee. While the tea and coffee were more expensive than other traditional coffee houses ($8 each for coffee or tea) the quality was so much better. Knave is located in an upscale hotel.
If you enjoy a wonderfully brewed latte this is the place to be.
A great place to sit, read and grab a cappuccino. Makes for great people watching and lounging. It can get busy and crowded which makes navigating its narrow hallway location challenging, but overall a nice stop along the journey.
Best hotel bar hands down! If you get lucky enough your bartender might be Beata! She's amazing, makes this amazing espresso drink with kahlua and Baileys that's over the top! She's so sweet and knowledgeable about all things New York!
Highly recommend a drink before having a burger at burger joint!
