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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Oscar Wilde - Frutti di Mare - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

Oscar Wilde is a nice place to take pictures and get drinks. I liked the cocktails. However for food, it was very lackluster. The food was missing salt throughout and was okay (although not for the prices). You might as well go to a diner. This place is good for drinks, but pass on the food. read more

Once we touched down in NYC and finished our dinner at Hatsu, we decided to meet up one of our cousins at Oscar Wilde. My oh my! The place was PACKED on a Saturday night. Luckily we found seats at the bar and the bartenders there were pretty attentive and took care of us. Expresso martini me please ! Once settled, I was able to sit back and observe the setting and the crowd... upper echelon... :) read more

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. read more

This place gets a solid 3.5 and here's why: - a reservation is still needed - because I wanted to keep our stroller with us, we were sat in a corner that barely had decorations ... just a few gold strings of lights, a broken nutcracker next to our table - our waitress didn't offer us a high chair, but the busboy did halfway through our meal - the drinks were ok but the fries were hard and stale ... I don't know if there were fried earlier and then refried, only reason I ate the was because it was our New Year's Eve lunch The only thing I love about this place is the decor and we could take advantage of it when you walked out of the restaurant. Definitely not worth the hype and wouldn't come here again. Thank god the tip wasn't included although I always add the 20 percent. I guess thank you Oscar Wilde for the cute pictures for my instagram memories with my baby! read more

We were very disappointed with the afternoon tea at Oscar Wilde. At $59 per person, you would expect tea to be included, but it isn't -- each pot costs an additional $10. We ordered four afternoon tea services and two pots of tea. Only one pot arrived initially, and we had to ask twice before the second one was finally brought to the table. Three of the four meals were served, but the fourth never arrived. After waiting eight minutes, we flagged down our waitress, who had not checked on us at all. She said the manager would look into it, but another ten minutes passed and the missing meal still had not appeared. What made the poor service even more frustrating was that the restaurant was only about half full, and there appeared to be several waitresses working. We could have understood some delays if the restaurant had been packed, but that clearly wasn't the case. To make matters worse, the bus staff repeatedly tried to clear our plates while we were still eating, making us feel rushed throughout the experience. The food itself was mediocre and certainly not worth the price. For a venue known for its atmosphere, the service and value were extremely disappointing. There are far better places in New York City for afternoon tea. read more

Oscar Wilde is absolutely gorgeous decorated for Christmas, and the line outside reflects that. When we arrived in the evening, the weekend before Christmas, there was a line down the block and a bouncer at the door enforcing 1 in, 1 out. Once inside, there was absolutely NO space to stand or sit. Every chair and bar stool was taken, and we couldn't even find somewhere *near* the bar to stand. There was no way we could even order a drink. They should have let less people in. After 10-15 minutes of wandering around aimlessly, we were about to give up and leave, but saw a couple getting up and quickly took their now-vacant barstools. We shared a drink and sat taking in the decor. Every single inch of the walls and ceiling were decorated. It was festive and cozy but somehow not cramped or cluttered feeling. I cannot fathom how they pulled that off. The drink was fine, nothing special. Prices for drinks and food were sky high. Staff were efficient and respectful as they possibly could be, in that crowd. read more

Place was very well decorated. It was also pretty packed on a cold Thursday evening. I was lucky enough get a seat at the bar with my friend. Order two cocktails - both were under $20 each. Cocktails were great and we sat there in awe of the amazing picture worthy decorations, and the amount of effort put in. Definitely a conversation starter! Well done Oscar Wilde!

Oscar Wilde - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Wow! What an amazing place this is! When my daughter and I stopped in for drinks this past week, the restaurant was decorated for Halloween. When I say decorated, it's insane how crazy they made it! From the front door to the ceiling, it's amazing. Beyond Halloween though, the place has amazing decor. So much is imported from Europe and South America...including the stained glass from Milan. Check out their website for a list of it all. The bar that we sat at was beautiful. Our bartender was very friendly and they had a nice Happy Hour selection of drinks. I'll definitely be back here soon for dinner. Need to plan far in advance as it's tough getting a reservation around the holidays. read more

Returned to Oscar Wilde for dinner during the holiday season and it was packed even in the middle of the week. Very lively atmosphere and very well decorated for the holidays. We started with the Crispy Calamari which was not bad and had the Wilde Wagyu Bacon Cheeseburger and Shepherd's Pie for entrees - both very good. The Tiramisu for dessert was a nice finish. Crowded and relatively tight seating but definitely worth a visit for the atmosphere and the decorations. read more

If you're coming This place instantly pulls you into a different era -- like stepping into a Jane Austen story -- and right now the whole space is transformed for Christmas. Giant ornaments, holiday trees, snow globes, reindeer, Santa, polar bears... the decorations are incredible and make the whole place feel magical. For families: make a weekend reservation and request low seating. There are a lot of high tables, so that note really helps. Service is on the slower side, but the food surprised me in the best way. The Wagyu bacon burger was thick, juicy, and came with crispy fries. The sausage had a nice char, and my buttermilk chicken and waffle was juicy inside and delicious with syrup. I also appreciated the themed bathrooms -- they even use petal foot pedals to flush, which is so much more sanitary. Overall, a charming spot for holiday brunch and a great place to return to as the décor changes throughout the year. IG: Jubes111 YouTube: JujubiFam read more

Came here a few times during peak seasonal times.....Halloween and Christmas. Do not come here for the food. You really come for a drink and to enjoy the elaborate decorations. The service is fine but the drinks aren't that strong and the seasonal cocktails are usually sweet. The decorations for peak seasons are truly amazing - great picture opportunities! read more

We had such a wonderful evening at Oliver Wilde and left thoroughly impressed. The ambience and decor are truly spectacular. The space gives off a refined, literary-inspired Art Deco meets modern speakeasy aesthetic -- dramatic but tasteful. Rich textures, thoughtful lighting, and layered design details create an atmosphere that feels intimate, elevated, and just a touch theatrical. It's the kind of room that makes you sit up a little straighter while still feeling completely at ease. We started with cocktails, and both were beautifully executed. The Elite was polished and balanced -- structured, confident, and layered with depth without being overpowering. It felt intentional and composed, the kind of drink that rewards slow sipping. The Writer's Quill was equally compelling: aromatic, nuanced, and slightly brighter, with complexity that unfolded gradually. Both cocktails reflected serious attention to craft rather than flash. We paired them with the truffle fries, which were rich and perfectly cooked -- crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and generously but thoughtfully dressed with truffle and salt. Indulgent without crossing into heavy, and utterly satisfying. Overall, the experience felt cohesive and elevated. Oliver Wilde manages to be stylish without trying too hard, sophisticated without feeling exclusive. We'll absolutely be back -- it's the kind of place that invites return visits. read more

Date: Friday, May 9th, 2025 Time: around 12:15pm Party of: 5 After dinner, my group stopped by for a beverage. I actually did not drink anything as I was taking a little break. But some of the boys got drinks like their Smoked Old Fashioned, Beers, etc. One thing to note, when we sat down, we had to look at the menu on our phones. Turns out, they do have real menus! It was nice once a server came up to us. Easier to order and browse their selection. One thing I wouldn't mind coming back for is their Oyster Hour. Half a dozen for $12, Full dozen for $18. Plus some small bites for $7 to $12. And drinks range $8 to $12. Next time, if I'm around on a Monday to Friday between 2pm and 5:30pm, will check out. Fun eclectic bar. REVIEW #3773 read more

Oscar Wilde - Oyster Hour Menu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I had a great time the other night and the holiday decor was out of control... in a good way! Barely one inch was left uncovered by all of the Christmas decorations. Even with a reservation we had to wait quite a while, but at least we could savor the festive environment. When we finally got seated we had a rude waitress, but then another one who was much nicer and on the ball took over. I ordered the gingerbread holiday drink but it didn't come with a gingerbread man cookie like it was supposed to, just a round one. My friend's drink, The Cornelia (I think?) was refreshing and I'd order that next time .our beet salad was delicious and I really enjoyed my shepherds pie (made with lamb). I normally don't eat lamb but this was good. I'm looking forward to going back when they change the decor to another theme. read more

Brought my mom to Oscar Wilde for her birthday the weekend after Halloween. I wanted to bring my mom here because after seeing the pictures and learning about this location, I thought my mom would enjoy the Victorian style decor and ambience. To my surprise, the Halloween decor was still up, and I was so excited because I had been wanting to go previously for Halloween weekend. The second you walk in, you are all by the amount of the core covering every single inch of the space. The walls, and the ceiling all were beautifully decorated, and the entire time I was dying and I was in awe. We arrived during happy hour and we're able to order some apps and cocktails off the happy hour menu. I ordered the writers quill as my drink which came in a cute tea cup, which essentially wasn't an espresso martini. To start we enjoyed the Wagyu sliders which were 10 out of 10 and an order of buffalo wings. For our entrées, my mom ordered the Bronzino, which was absolutely delicious! For dessert, the waitress let us know that there is complementary bread pudding that was served with vanilla ice cream, and in addition we ordered the tiramisu. Both were phenomenal! Our server was super friendly and quick, despite and absolutely full restaurant at the time. I was super entertained the entire time from all the Halloween decor all around me, and even finding the more antique style decor on the way to the restroom. (Uploaded a video) I cannot wait to go back in the spring time with my mom again to see how the restaurant is normally furnished. It is an antique, eccentric Victorian style decor and I think it would be a cool contrast to see compared to the amazing and elaborate Halloween decor. Thank you so much for an amazing birthday dinner for my mom, Oscar Wilde! We will absolutely be back ! read more

So we got a bunch of Alice in Wonderland stuff dangling from the top of the ceiling which is cool. Some lillypads. Some frogs in suits. Even some Victorian nudes on the wall. I'm a whimsical MFER so this was Right up my alley! This is what deserves the star. The problem is the drinks are hitting on ZERO. Ordered myself this tall drink with gin in it. Somehow it came out tasting like watered down Sangria?? I was confusion but I guess I should've expected it with all the fruit thrown in it. Basically a fruit salad at that point lol. My brother got a White Russian which they said would be an extra charge since it's not on the menu. Never heard of this tax but eff it, as long as it's good. The portion of the actual drink was maybe two shots of liquid topped with a humongous portion of cream foam. Never seen it done like this but not worth the $24!! lmao read more

Stopped in for some Christmas spirit late one night after dinner. We waited outside for about 30 minutes which felt pretty reasonable considering the popularity and time of year. I was not expecting, however, for there to be absolutely no space when we finally got in. We knew it would be standing room only at the bar, but we could not even get that until about 15 minutes of wandering inside looking hopeful for couples who seemed to be getting ready to leave. When we eventually found space at the bar, we took note of the festive menu and ended up ordering what I believe to be a basic Espresso Martini ( I believe the name was Writers Quill? or along those lines). It was 22 dollars with tip which felt pretty on par with the local bars and restaurants. The martini itself was nothing special, but I enjoyed it. The decorations were awesome and we had a blast just looking around at all of them for a few minutes. The mediocre service was understandable considering how busy they were. It is a bar, so while I wasn't expecting a 5-star experience, I do think they could have been friendlier. I definitely think this was a fun experience so I would recommend it to others, but I would not go back a second time. read more

Had a lovely holiday dinner before a show. The menu has some staple dishes. There is something for everyone. The bacon cheeseburger was the table favorite, along with truffle fries, rice balls, and chocolate mousse. Although the Pinot Noir was served a little too warm, the cocktails were well done and festive. The decorations and music are sure to get you in the holiday mood, along with holiday characters roaming the dining room. Be sure to make a reservation well in advanced. read more

Absolutely fun and beautifully decorated for Christmas!! Every inch your eyes could see was decked out! The music was holidayish with some club style music mixed in. Perfect for a date night. The service was great, our drinks and food came quick however the food was ok. Nothing special about the calamari and my grilled chicken, felt the chicken was too dry and a little hard. My husbands burger was tasty but lukewarm. In my opinion your paying for the entertainment. Our meal was around $100 for 2 drinks, 1 app, 2 entrees with tip and tax. I would recommend to visit for the holidays and definitely do not go without a reservation. The dessert menu was OK as well. We passed on it.. read more

This place was recommended to me because of the vibe. Found out that they change out the decorations quarterly. Now I wish I could come back every time it changes.

Drink was good as well. Enjoyed talking to the bartender. Overall great experience. Definitely would recommend stopping in. read more

Very disappointing experience. Insanely crowded and they had everyone crammed at these tiny tables on bar stools. Also very stuffy with no air conditioning until like halfway through our meal. We ordered the tea service and they brought one cup out with the tea pot and said they "ran out" of other cups. No plates or milk/sugar for the tea and we probably asked like 3 different people before our waitress brought it over. The food was decent and the decor was cute but overall I would not recommend this. There are way better tea experiences in New York. read more
