Step through a portal onto 18th Street off Broadway, circa 1892. Old Town Bar—the real deal conversation bar—has quietly reigned supreme in Manhattan’s Flatiron‑Union Square neighborhood for over 130 years.

• Founded in 1892 and residing at 45 E. 18th St. since about 1901, it’s one of NYC’s oldest continuously operating bars

• Step inside to the 55‑foot-long marble and mahogany bar, a 16‑ft pressed‑tin ceiling, beveled mirrors, antique booths, and New York’s oldest working dumbwaiter—still hauling orders from upstairs to the bar today 

• Don’t miss the majestic 1910 Hinsdale urinals in the men’s room—so famous they made Bon Appétit’s list of The Grandest Urinals in NYC

• Cinematic scene‑stealer: Old Town has shown up in The Last Days of Disco, Bullets Over Broadway, The Devil’s Own, music videos like “Jump Around,” and TV shows including Sex and the City and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

• True New Yorkers and literary types rub elbows here—Frank McCourt adored it, it’s been praised as “like New York’s own little secret,” and Pete Hamill once quipped if he ever drank again, he’d do it at Old Town

Featured in Bars, Taverns and Dives New Yorkers Love, this illustration captures that storied atmosphere in a refined, signed art print.
