A Gem Among NYC Bars: Your Go-To for Brunch & Cocktails
Many cities are known for their bar scene – but the crown jewel for any boozy adventurer has to be New York City. NYC bars are known for their amazing drinks, atmosphere, and, yes, even their menu. Whatever kind of bar you’re looking for, you’ll find it here. The only trick is figuring out which ones are worth the hype and which are better skipped.
Now, we might be biased, but over 100 years of success is a pretty good reference. The White Horse Tavern has everything you could want from a bar in the Big Apple, whether you’re looking for nightlife or a more chilled daytime bar experience.
A Brief History of Our Iconic West Village Ba
Established in 1880, the White Horse Tavern is proud to be the second oldest tavern in New York City. Although it started as a working-class bar, over time, it evolved into a literary hotspot, a favorite of legends ranging from Dylan Thomas to James Baldwin. Since then, there’s hardly been a time in our history where the creative who’s who haven’t come by and made themselves at home at “The Horse.”
Today, this NYC bar welcomes you with its charm intact, from the original woodwork to its tin ceiling. Its rich history blends seamlessly with modern amenities, offering an authentic speakeasy vibe with a range of drinks and a delicious American gastropub-style menu. Whether we’re one of your local favorites or you’re just visiting, the White Horse Tavern is a living piece of history where you can raise a glass or share a meal.
Introducing Your Go-To for Brunch & Cocktails
The White Horse bar has never been stagnant, always keeping up with the zeitgeist. Our signature cocktails are a drawcard in themselves – you’ll want to come back again and again to taste them all. And once you have a great cocktail menu, it’s only natural to let it shine at everybody’s favorite meal: brunch. Our curated food and bar menu offers some of the best bar food in NYC, attracting locals and tourists alike.
Start with a fan favorite, the Avocado Toast – sourdough bread topped with avocado puree, pistachios, goat cheese, and tomatoes. Or, for those with a sweet tooth, the French Toast is a must, featuring brioche bread and topped with strawberry compote and decadent strawberry whipped cream. Of course, a brunch isn’t really complete without a round or two of drinks! Savor a classic Mimosa, treat yourself to a spicy Bloody Mary, or explore our signature cocktails for something a little more exciting.
