NoMad·4.5 (201)·$50–100

Photography by The Portrait Bar

Stepping into The Portrait Bar is like entering a refined drawing room, where dark wood paneling, plush burgundy sofas, and a gallery of evocative portraits invite you to linger in style. The atmosphere is enveloping and intimate, accented by floor-to-ceiling library shelves and a crackling fireplace that evoke the glamour of a bygone era. Each meticulously crafted cocktail draws inspiration from global destinations, while the bar’s menu—curated by chef Andrew Carmellini—features elevated bites such as foie gras terrine and crispy oysters. This is a destination for those who appreciate artful design and inventive mixology, making it a true jewel in New York’s hospitality crown.
