Welcome to White Oak Tavern, a modern American tavern nestled in the heart of Greenwich Village in New York City. Blending the warmth of a classic tavern with an honest approach to dining, we celebrate the rich tradition of taverns with a fresh, innovative twist.

White Oak Tavern is named after the tall white oak trees of Kentucky, and inspired by the art of the cooper, who carefully handcrafts each cask to protect and enhance the flavors of the famed Bluegrass region’s sweet bounty, whiskey.

Nestled on a charming corner of the city, White Oak Tavern invites you to step into a cozy, romantic ambiance where rustic charm meets urban sophistication. Soft lighting and intimate seating create the perfect setting for an evening of delightful dining and spirited conversations.

Our menu, developed by chef Ash Fulk, pays homage to the hearty flavors of American tavern cuisine, reimagined for your discerning palate. Start your culinary journey with our signature appetizers such as our Mushroom Tart or Smoked Fish Dip, each dish crafted with locally sourced ingredients and a touch of culinary creativity.

For mains, indulge in classics like our French Dip, which deserves a category of its own or savor the comforting flavors of our Fish and Chips. Vegetarian and vegan options abound, ensuring there's something to satisfy every taste.

Pair your meal with selections from our thoughtfully curated beverage menu, crafted by our owner/operator Chris Page, which features craft beers from local breweries, small-batch spirits, and a selection of classic cocktails with our own twist that perfectly complement our dishes. Our skilled bartenders are always ready to recommend the ideal pairing to elevate your dining experience.

At White Oak Tavern, we believe in creating memorable moments around the table. Whether you're enjoying a romantic dinner for two, gathering with friends over drinks, or hosting a private event in our inviting space, our attentive staff is dedicated to ensuring every visit is exceptional.

Join us at White Oak Tavern, where tradition meets innovation, and every meal is a celebration of the best in modern American tavern fare. Experience the charm of a classic tavern with a new-age twist, right here in New York City.

Looking forward to sharing our laughter, love and community with you!
