Profile

This uninspired bar is attached to one of the city's most venerable steakhouses, and if it has the transient, impersonal quality of a waiting room, well, that's pretty much what it is. The paneled walls are hung with formal black and whites of Dead White Males in their formal black and whites sitting down to devour exactly what you smell searing next door. An amusingly over-the-top 1890s painting of a reclining nude looms behind the bar's 270 single malts, but the excessively bright lighting, a rather incongruous television set and the drab expense-account clientele all confirm that you're best off going there strictly for the steak.

Extra

In 1905, Lillie Langtry, the reigning actress of her day, won women the right to dine at Keens.

Being someone who loves to go out,i have been to many bars in many places,i rarely remember the places i stop by on long night out. However,everytime i visit New York,there is one place i cannot miss out on -keens. I have lost count of how many people i have taken to keens bar and how many of them have said "let's not go out,let's stay here" The atmophere is amazing,this is a place where everyone seems to know each other and the barmen know what you want and how you want it before you've even opened your mouth!!!!! The bar food is amazing and affordable. Never before has a place found it's way into my heart like the bar at Keens steakhouse!
