Oscar Wilde

"Some bars have a subtle theme, maybe something nautical or sports-related. Oscar Wilde, on the other hand, looks very much like an Irish mansion that was airlifted in from the 1880s. It has chandeliers, stained-glass windows, fancy columns, and even a few fireplaces. Despite all of this, the bar is actually pretty casual. It’s a good place for a post-work drink, and it’s big enough for large group gatherings, with a menu of fancy pub food for anyone who’s hungry. Just be aware that it can get pretty crowded on weekends." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren

"Say you want to have a drink in the daytime, but you’d also like to pretend that you’re hanging out in a wing of an Irish person’s mansion in the year 1880. Just head over to 27th Street and get a drink at Oscar Wilde. Inside you’ll find such things as a marble fireplace, stained glass, and plenty of old photos and paintings, many of which are probably haunted. And while you might expect this place to be stuffy and uptight, it’s actually pretty casual and gets somewhat rowdy. Plus, it’s huge, and you guaranteed won’t feel like you’re in NYC." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"Oscar Wilde is very much not like other bars. And that’s mostly due to the theme. This bar was inspired by the life of, you guessed it, Oscar Wilde, and it feels like a wing of an old-timey Irish castle converted into a drinking space for young professionals. It’s spacious, the ceilings are high, and the bar is filled with stained glass windows, a marble fireplace, and about 40 different kinds of light fixtures. Weekends at this Nomad spot get extremely busy, and you can expect to find lots of people mingling and getting kind of sloppy." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, neha talreja, kenny yang
