There are a few great places to do this, Prime isn't one of them, so I'm not sure how much of a deal breaker being on property is.
My fav steakhouse to eat at the bar is across the road in PH @ StripHouse, often doesn't get mentioned on here, swallowed up by Cut/Delmonico/SW discussion, but is a very good bar option, often more attentive service than in the restaurant. That said, the appetizers have never blown me away (I don't eat shellfish tho so that might be an option) but it works well by splitting a salad and an entree and loading up on a couple of sides instead. For example, the romanoff potatoes, black truffle creamed spinach and wild mushrooms are all excellent with a conventional steak order.
Another good bar option nearby would be Jean-Georges @ Aria.
