Profile

This venue is closed.

The Oak Bar was once an exclusive gentlemen's preserve, and testosterone still looms heavy in the air. Order a drink (stiff in more ways than one) and savor the spectacle. Between grand windows overlooking Central Park, huge mirrors hang from ornately wainscoted walls, reflecting a predictable crowd of slick suits, swaddled tourists and taut and tanned septuagenarians. Still, a television behind the bar is the ultimate reminder that things ain't quite what they used to be. Of course, if they were, you probably couldn't get through the door in the first place. — Andrew Yamato
