Who We Are

Wainwright’s is the neighborhood tavern the Upper East Side has been missing – sophisticated but unfussy, clubby but not a club. Channeling the vibe of Minetta Tavern and the Waverly Inn, it  will be a  timeless classic. Cozy and friendly, it feels like a grown-up dinner party. A burger and a perfect martini, oysters and a glass of French white wine, or roast chicken and a Manhattan, the menu is full of the favorites you’d expect from an old-school restaurant, executed with a touch of sexiness. With the Golden Age of hospitality at its core, we strive to be a local’s home-away-from-home.
