Driven by the spirit of the Irish Playwright, our bar pays homage to his genuinely prolific story. Oscar Wilde turns the Victorian Era on its head. Without relinquishing any of its glamour. Just like Wilde himself, we believe life should be lived to its fullest, with a touch of sophisticated debauchery. Why miss out on the fun?

    Had a lovely time here. Place was interesting with Christmas decor. Service was impeccable and attentive. Entrance was inconspicuous and looked like a normal townhouse if you weren’t particularly looking for the place. Recently learned it’s attached to The Inn at Irving Place with rooms on the second floor. They have a coat check. Seating is a bit tight but comfy if you are seated at the two-seater small sofa instead of the other tables (more for groups from what I’ve seen). Had the afternoon tea service and chose the tea pairings (each paired with each course). I would recommend if you want to try other tea flavors you’re not sure about or not tried. Was never a fan of Earl Grey but this place changed my mind, enough so that I ended up purchasing a canister of it for my personal use. Might return again one day.

    Noise level in a good way is high. This was an unbelievable experience. The food was excellent. The vibe was amazing. It was probably one of the best experiences I’ve ever had an open table made it possible because they were lined up around the corner.
