Our Drinks

The historic mahogany bar (the full front bar) at CAV dates back to the nineteenth century. Purchased from Irreplaceable Artifacts in 1990, it came with a provenance, showing this bar was originally from Pete’s Tavern – the oldest Tavern in New York. Guests have enjoyed drinks at this bar for over 150 years. It is said that O’Henry wrote many parts of his famous Gift of the Magi, at Pete’s Tavern, and probably often sat at this historic bar doing so. We invite guests to the CAV bar to relax in the comfortable leather bar seats for cocktails, martinis, or beers and wines. In addition guests may also, if they wish, enjoy a whole meal at the bar.
