What I order

Notably, their crispy duck wings are a must-try, irresistibly smothered in soy glaze.

It’s undoubtedly one of the finest bars on the UES, blurring the lines between bar and restaurant seamlessly.

Worth it
What I wrote thereFold it away

The Bar Room is a sophisticated bistro easily overlooked from the outside due to the unassuming facade. Venture inside and you’ll be privy. Dark paneled walls, handsome leather booths and striking murals play second fiddle to the great food on offer.

For starters, toy around with some whipped ricotta toast and escargot if you’re catching up with friends. Meeting a date you’re keen to impress? The caviar-crowned tots are the epitome of luxury. As for entrees, the BLT with egg never fails to hit the spot, but neither does the signature Bar Room Burger (sharp cheddar, pickles, melted onion, truffle aioli, fries).

Worth it

Expertly crafted classics like martinis and mojitos await a sophisticated dinner experience.
