Holiday Bar

"Page Six reported that Swift was seen this week at Holiday Bar with Alana Haim and Danielle Haim. “Swift appeared ‘very animated’ while dining with Alana and Danielle, who — along with their sister, Este Haim, opened for her on her Eras Tour,” according to the Post. Holiday Bar, from the group behind Saint Theo’s, opened last year, and was described as “so ’80s, it’s modern.”" - Melissa McCart

"The team behind Holiday Bar also runs American Bar and Saint Theo’s, two West Village restaurants that seem like they were designed to attract celebrities and influencers who thrive in photogenic situations. Holiday Bar is the newest of the bunch, and, in an ecosystem that runs on hype, that makes it the most relevant. This ‘80s-themed spot (also in the West Village) has off-white banquettes, art by Alex Katz, and a menu with everything from spring rolls and lamb meatballs to sushi and jerk chicken. Reservations aren’t impossible, so try this place for a last-minute meal with someone who requires a scene." - bryan kim

"If you’ve always lamented the fact that you weren’t around to experience the decadence of ’80s New York nightlife, you should be hanging out at Holiday Bar. This West Village restaurant is from the team behind Saint Theo’s and American Bar. Where they go, the scene follows, and you’ll find the same glittery crowd piled into white leather banquettes pretending not to notice you noticing them. It’s a loud, buzzy room decked out with random retro artifacts and art by Alex Katz, and there’s a small TV in the bathroom that plays old shows and movies. The seafood-centric menu has a decent raw bar and sushi rolls, but the real objective here is to have a good time." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren, Neha Talreja

"If you’ve always lamented the fact that you weren’t around to experience the decadence of ’80s New York nightlife, you should be hanging out at Holiday Bar. This West Village restaurant is the latest project from the team behind Saint Theo’s and American Bar. Where they go, the scene follows, and you’ll find the same glittery crowd pretending not to notice you noticing them. This time, you can join them on off-white leather banquettes in a space decked out with art by Alex Katz and random retro artifacts like Calvin Klein cologne bottles. The seafood-centric menu has a decent raw bar and even sushi rolls, and they also do a surprisingly good jerk chicken plate. You can have a solid meal here, but the real objective here is to have a good time, whether or not you recognize the semi-famous face in the booth next to you. " - Neha Talreja

"The team behind buzzing Manhattan restaurants Saint Theo’s and American Bar has added another see-or-be-seen drinking spot to its arsenal. Holiday Bar opened last week with a futuristic dining room — chrome finish, tubular beige banquettes — that’s already drawing a celebrity crowd. Martinis appear on the menu in various forms: mixed with lychee, sake, and in miniature portions as part of a trio of drinks known as the Saturday Mass that also comes with a beer and a glass of sake." - Emma Orlow
