Perched on the tarmac of JFK’s historic TWA Hotel, Connie Cocktail Lounge invites you aboard an authentic 1958 Lockheed Constellation L-1649A Starliner—one of just four of its kind left. Its cabin, meticulously restored by Stonehill Taylor, retains original aviation murals by Mario Zamparelli, a fully functional cockpit and navigation console, and plush red banquettes paired with Saarinen tulip tables—capturing the golden age of air travel. Step up the airstairs and find yourself immersed in mid-century luxe. Choose a Fallout-era-inspired cocktail—from the classic “Vodka is My Co‑Pilot” martini to inventive highballs like the “Control Tower Sour” or “Eero Dynamics”—all served at the back bar embedded in the fuselage. Wines, beer, Prosecco and light snacks (olives, popcorn, nuts, chips) complete the flight menu. Connie comfortably seats 75 guests in airline seats and lounge couches, offering a cozy, unique alternative to boardwalk bars or rooftop lounges. Open daily from 4 pm–10:30 pm, guests can walk in or pre-book via SevenRooms for up to 8 people. Whether you’re a history buff, a design fan, or just in the mood for a novel cocktail experience, Connie offers a taste of aviation's glamorous past with modern-day hospitality.
