by grahamcampbell at Citysearch
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.

The Details on Oak Bar
When to Go:
Live 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 Go:
This is one of the city's priciest bars--don't choke on your olive once you find out that most mixed drinks cost over $15.
Look Good:
The dress code is business casual, but after 6pm, no shorts, cut out or tank top T-shirts, hats and sport sandals.
