    What a gorgeous bar to celebrate the man, the myth, the legend. I had just reread The Picture of Dorian Gray with my book club so this was a fitting experience. The interior is beautiful, every corner is eye catching. They even have a screen that showcases his famous quotes. They have an extensive drink menu with themed cocktails. It was busy so things might get a bit delayed but the staff was nice. We ordered a bunch of cocktails. The Exile- This is a sweet and refreshing drink with raspberries, strawberries, vodka, and finished with greek mastiha mint. Secret Knock- This is a smoky drink with a bit of a bite. You get peach liqueur with cinnamon smoke, bitters, and yellowstone bourbon. Robbie's Reverie- This starts with violet gin, lemon, rhubarb, and tonic. Strong and citrusy. Devil's Kiss- You start with tempranillo, a little bit of strawberry apertif and orange liqueur, Finished with blackcurrant and brandy. Fruity with a kick. Great experience overall!

    Happy hour is the way to go at Oscar Wilde without a doubt. The oysters were absolutely amazing very cream with a fresh taste along with drinks a dirty martini and ice coffee. The atmosphere was amazing the decor was very Oscar Wilde era with that poetic vibe

    Oscar Wilde is a bit of a gimmick, I'd say, a hit among the themed-bars crowd and impressive to anyone not native to New York. I found the hodgepodge of old-timey decor to be a bit kitsch, but to each their own. I came with a group on a weeknight with no reservation. We were seated immediately on a high wood table. Although the bar wasn't busy (there were plenty of empty spaces, small groups scattered throughout the area), the service was quite slow. The server was inattentive and took a while to take our orders. We had to ask her for water three times, searching for her across the room in an attempt to catch her attention. She was a bit absent during the two-ish hours we were there. On the bright side, the drinks were fairly good. I ordered this strawberry vodka cocktail topped with whole mint. I'm wary of vodka for its harsh, unpleasant taste, but I found this drink to actually be very pleasant, tasing like a fruit smoothie you'd get from a local juicer. There was also a burgundy drink served on a wine glass that tasted like the holidays. I liked that one quite a bit. Overall, Oscar Wilde was an okay experience. It's certainly a bar for a certain type of crowd, and the service was lacking, but maybe we went on a bad night. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be served better than we were.

    Met up with some friends for drinks for St. Patrick's day. Very festive & happening bar/restaurant. My friend made a reservation, and we got there earlier, but was called to sit quickly. The menu is a sign on a QR code on the table. Happy hour is 2-6 and just made it with minutes to spare. We wanted to order a pitcher of sangria but waitress told us they don't do pitchers. We all go single glasses instead. Drinks came out fast. They aren't overly strong. It was also a good portion. We also ordered buffalo cauliflower bites and hummus and naan. I didnt even get a chance to take a picture. Everything came out nice and hot. Very tasty, don't sleep on the food! There was also dancing and music. Can get pretty loud but all in good fun. Had a great time, try to go for happy hour!

    The interior here is INSANE! So cool - it was Alice in Wonderland themed and the lights were moving. My eggs benedict was great. Service was good. Super lucky we went here after our other res fell through - my friends loved it!

    We visited Oscar Wilde during their Lunar New Year celebration, and the decorations were absolutely beautiful. The food was great, the drinks were delicious, and everything we ordered was enjoyable. The space itself is so cute and unique, with plenty to look at and a great vibe whether you're there for drinks, dinner, or a special occasion. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Between the festive decor, great food and cocktails, and excellent service, it was a memorable visit. Definitely a spot worth checking out in NYC!

    The ambiance is awesome and the bar is the longest in the city I believe. The food and drinks were great however the oysters were not the best. The service was decent.

    An amazing, impressive, elaborately designed, Victorian-Style bistro with a long marble bar for cocktails and American bites.

    Oscar Wilde Seen legendary Oscar Wilde treasures such as the Irish Writers Wall, a 1840s French fireplace, and New York City's longest bar ever seen before at 118.5 feet. Awesome selection of menu, and drink best with a group gathering. Absolutely great vibe and easy-going, fun atmosphere. An amazing, impressive, elaborately designed, Victorian-Style bistro with a long marble bar for cocktails and American bites. An option weekend tea times, 11.00 pm-3.00 pm. Attention: present services are acceptable.

    I stopped into this restaurant for lunch! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into this magical Christmas bar with many people! I was sat and ordered with Sophia and she was great! I ordered: Mrs Claus' Mulled Wine Steak & Eggs Trial by Fire Wagyu Beef Sliders Organic Grilled Chicken Shepherd's Pie My favorite were the sliders! All in all a great experience!

    Oscar Wilde is hands-down one of the most magical holiday experiences in New York City. The bar is one of my favorite holiday themed places to visit. The moment you step inside, you're transported into an over-the-top Christmas wonderland--twinkling lights, vintage décor, and festive touches everywhere you look. It's impossible not to feel the holiday spirit here. The cocktails are creative and beautifully presented, and the food is just as impressive--delicious, hearty, and perfect for a cozy night out. The staff keeps the energy high and the service warm, even when the place is packed (which it usually is, for good reason!). Whether you're stopping in for drinks or making a full evening of it, Oscar Wilde is an absolute must-visit during the Christmas season. A truly unforgettable NYC holiday treat.

    Delicious menu options and a magical interior! I have eaten inside before, but on this rare warm April night we took a table outside. We got to witness each guest in awe as they caught sight of this incredible space from the open door. Service was excellent even though it was a busy Friday night. Its a fun place to experience with a group of friends but it can get a bit noisy so choose your table wisely.

    If you're a fan of Alice in Wonderland, then this is a spot for you! The space is decked out in Alice in Wonderland decor and color - there is something everywhere you turn your head. Even the bathrooms! It's such a stunning space and the drinks are delicious! Food wise, I opted for the afternoon tea. At $60 per person, you get 3 tiers of mini tarts and macarons, scones, and tea sandwiches. Unfortunately it doesn't come with a pot of tea and you can purchase it separately. I thought the food was just okay and my favorite was the smoked salmon sandwich. The scones were quite small and it didn't really feel like a $60 platter. This place is more for its decorations than the food perhaps. I had their Wilde Rabbit drink which had elderflower, cucumber, yuzu and Prosecco. I thought this drink was delicious! Overall, it's a really fun place to try even once but I wouldn't return for the afternoon tea. Maybe an à la carte menu instead.

    Stopped at this location in early December because my wife really wanted to take pictures and experience what she saw on Instagram LOL that was NOT the case. The decorations were cute but this place was jam packed like a can of sardines. It's nearly impossible to make reservations and the servers were pretty rude even when I was willing to buy drinks and stand in the middle of nowhere. I would not recommend coming here. Go somewhere else or watch the waitlist like a hawk.

    Does the entire party have to do afternoon tea? Can one person have afternoon tea and the other order from lunch or brunch menu?

    We all ordered from different menus.

    How do you get someone to answer the phone?

    Get a reputation for short calls.

    On which brunch day is the drag brunch Saturday or Sunday?

    Are kids allowed to go there? On Saturday night?

    Yes Kids are allowed here.

    What time is happy hour on weekdays? I can't find a menu or info about this anywhere

    What is the dress code and are walk-ins allowed?

    Casual dress code and walk ins are permitted but reservations are recommended because they get booked pretty often.

    Is this business kid-friendly?

    I would not bring kids here tbh

    Do they accept walk-ins for dinner for 2ppl during holiday season? If yes is it a table or bar seating?

    Yea they do! But bar seating and it's first come first serve. It does get pretty crowded so i would highly suggest making a reservation

    So I'm looking to come for dinner for Christmas Eve. Do you recommend dinner or just come for drinks after?

    It's a busy and noisy place - but great fun. If that works - have dinner!

    Can you make a reservation for drinks only or does it have to be a meal?

    You can just go in to get drinks at any of the bars

    Is this place kid friendly for brunch?

    I wouldn't bring kids here. It's really compact and loud

    Good for a toddler?

    Very crowded and noisy. Not sure if there is room for a stroller etc

    What kind of music do they play?

    How long will Christmas decorations be up?

    I have been trying to call for a week now just to check if me and my friend could walk in for some drinks and if the indoor is open cuz this place has been on my list and I haven't been able to reach to them?

    yes you can walk in. yes the inside is open

    Is this a place where you can dress up in like a dress and heels or is it mostly casual?

    I would say it is a healthy mix. I wouldn't go wearing sweats but you could definitely rock a dress and heels or jeans, a nice top and booties. It just depends on what you are there for!

    Can I do a walk in for 2 even though there aren't any spots available for reservation?

    absolutely - and there is ample seating at the BAR which also provides a full menu and service. Enjoy!

    When did you stop being a gay bar? When I started going I was told by staff it was a gay bar. Is this why you play loud 80s music? The bar is quite beautiful and is named after an openly gay man. Talk about irony...

    We are a bar open to all.

    Is there a certain time people under age of 21 can't enter? like some other restaurants.

    Should be fine. There was no door person checking IDS when I went. It has a bar but also a sizable dining area. If anything just call and ask.

It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too.

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

    I stopped by Clemente Bar with a friend who was staying at a nearby hotel. I had never been to…read moreEleven Madison Park before and wanted to check it out, not realizing at first that Clemente Bar is a separate concept from the restaurant. We walked in without a reservation around 6:20 p.m., and they were able to accommodate us at a shared table until 7:15. The menu surprised me a bit. Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
