This institution's charm is its patina - it's worn and quirky. Originally a German watering hole, the building stands nestled between Union Square and Gramercy Park, containing many of its original interior features, including the striking mahogany bar, behind it, a beautiful beveled mirror and soaring 'tin' (actually pressed steel) ceilings.
Old Town Bar, which opened in 1892, has been a beloved gathering place for residents and visitors alike.
