Melody Bar makes it into the Conde Nast Top 10 Bar List in the World '07 "With walls paneled in rich wood, alabaster lamps hanging from the ten-foot ceilings, fat Roma-esque pillars, and an original 1930s wooden bar, the Gladstone Hotel's Melody Bar isn't so much nouveau retro as a rollicking saloon. Weekend karaoke nights have become the stuff of legend, with the host brandishing a giant APPLAUSE sign to stoke the crowd - an interesting hodgepodge of expertly coiffed hipsters, ad execs, pixie punk girls, and dust-caked construction worke."
