Located at 795 8th Avenue (Hell’s Kitchen / Midtown West), Sir Henry’s stands out as a stylish destination combining elevated American dining, creative cocktails and a nostalgic nod to Manhattan’s nightlife golden era. From its inception, the bar and restaurant describe themselves as honouring the legends of New York nightlife—drawing inspiration from venues like CBGB, Studio 54 and the downtown club scene of the ’80s and ’90s. Inside, you’ll find vibrant décor referencing those eras: patterned wallpapers, vintage-inspired seating, a second-floor lounge vibe, and even a hidden speakeasy-style section (the “Horseshoe Bar”). The energy shifts with the hour: early in the day it offers all-day brunch (yes, until midnight) layered with cocktails; by evening it leans into lounge-bar mode with DJs or elevated music, cocktails flowing, and the drama typical of Broadway-adjacent nightlife. The menu is expansive: brunch cocktails (mimosas, bellinis, spritzers) sit alongside more ambitious dishes (birria benedict, burgers, taco specials, share plates) and a full drinks list. At the same time, the bar doesn’t lose sight of its roots as a cocktail and social destination—as guides note it “revives the spirit of ’70s and ’80s Manhattan nights” with a hidden speakeasy and “endless fun.” Located so close to the theatre district, it works perfectly as pre- or post-show destination: you can grab brunch before a matinee, cocktails before evening theatre, or stay for the late-night scene (kitchen open until midnight nightly, bar past). The service and atmosphere tend to lean more “chic party” than quiet lounge, so if you’re aiming for lively socialising, Sir Henry’s hits it.
