Editorial Review for Oak Bar – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
An elegant decor of dark-wood paneling, 30-foot-high ceilings, lush red drapery and fleur-de-lis emblems await crowds of young to middle-aged professionals, both local and guests of the hotel. Evenings, the backdrop is dimly lit so sweethearts can huddle in cushy lounge chairs and settees, though a multi-platform layout makes everyone in the room visible.
The Draw
Enjoy live jazz as you sip peculiar, yet delightful, champagne cocktails, such as a raspberry Romanoff--Razberi Vodka, Blue Curacao, sparkling wine and Stoli-soaked raspberries--and signature martinis like the 007 (shaken, not stirred). Specialty cocktails run a bit more than $10, while beers cost less. Appetizers, sandwiches and desserts are moderately to expensively priced and include cold seafood platters, burgers, rich chocolate cakes and more.

Insider Tips
When to GoLive music is featured Tuesday through Saturday evenings--call to find out what's on top (most likely mellow jazz or upbeat swing).
Know Before You GoThis is one of the city's priciest bars--don't choke on your olive once you find out that most mixed drinks cost over $10.
Look GoodThe dress code is business casual, but after 6pm, no shorts, cut out or tank top T-shirts, hats and sport sandals.
User Reviews for Oak Bar

When you walk into the Oak Room, you feel like you've walked into the 40's. It's a total throwbsck with the wood paneled walls, ceiling fans, and waiters in vests. It's always fun to take someone who has never been. And while the martinis are expensive ($17), the decanter they give you has enough for two drinks. It's a great place to go to feel like a high roller, even if you're not.
