Bar Oliver

“I’ve been forgetting that with age comes sophistication, so going to a wine bar like Bar Oliver in ‘two bridges’ reminded me I’m not just a frump-toddler mom (weeks away from turning 36-40). I’m also a person who loves atmosphere and wants to feel like Chinatown is an uninitiated Paris arrondissement! The Spanish tapas and minimal table seating means this place isn’t for the faint of heart. You should plan on bringing a close friend to get sauced or share the whole menu with a four top.”

“While the food is good, the main reason I love this place is for the vibe. 10/10 amazing interior, amazing wines, stylish crowd always (like in the way that the hostess was giving me tips on finding the best second hand Issey Miyake).”

“nice combination of desirable and available.”
