1986 EST. WINE BAR & LOUNGE

43 West 32nd St

Intimate low-key piano bar buried inside of a drab hotel in Korea Town.

Est. 1986 is Koreatown’s best-kept secret. This intimate, classy spot is buried inside of the dingy Hotel Stanford on 32nd Street.

The space is dimly lit, and the decor is understated and tasteful. There is a communal table in the middle, soft couches along the walls, intimately small tables for couples, and a grand piano in the corner.

Unlike many “secret” spots, Est. 1986 does not try to be secret – it just is! It’s unpretentious, casual, and quiet.
