Happy Hour at Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde is a maximalist Victorian fever dream in NoMad, home to what the bar bills as New York City’s longest continuous bar at just over 118 feet. Gilded portraits, antique clocks, marble, and greenery cover nearly every surface of the former Bureau of Prohibition headquarters.
It is one of Manhattan’s most photographed rooms, and the crowd skews toward date nights and visitors chasing the spectacle. The weekday happy hour is the sensible way to experience it without a full-tab commitment.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 2pm to 6pm, offering a reduced-price window at the bar on select drinks. If you want food, the kitchen serves an afternoon menu weekdays from 2pm to 4pm, and the full cocktail list, tuned to the Victorian and Prohibition eras, runs the rest of the day.
The Room
The room is the whole point: an ornate, marble-wrapped Victorian bar stretching the length of the space, hung with oil paintings, mirrors, taxidermy, and hanging plants. It is dim, lush, and theatrical, with bar seating along the marathon counter and cozy nooks toward the back.
