Our Take
The Woolworth — Old City
The Woolworth is the Old City cocktail bar set inside a converted 1900s Woolworth department store — original tin ceilings, marble columns and a long mahogany bar.
The cocktail menu runs about fifteen builds with a strong classic-with-twist focus. Spirits collection runs 200+ bottles. The room takes around 80 — reservation recommended weekends.
Reserve via Resy. Bar seats walk-in friendly Wed-Thu.
What to Order
Tin Ceilings
Original 1900s pressed-tin. The Woolworth architectural draw.
Spirits Library
200+ bottles. Strong rye and aged-rum depth.
Old Fashioned
Aged bourbon, demerara, aromatic bitters. The Woolworth benchmark.
Marble Columns
Original 1900s marble structural columns. Architectural calling card.
