NYC’s The Polo Bar: A 10 PM Dinner Worth the Wait 🐎🍸

Known as one of the hardest reservations to score in New York, The Polo Bar by Ralph Lauren did not disappoint—even with a 10 PM Monday slot! We booked weeks in advance (party of three), and though the timing was late, the experience was unforgettable. If you can snag a table, I highly recommend it—every dish and drink impressed. 🎩 Dress Code & Entry The restaurant enforces a smart casual dress code—no overly casual outfits. Also, your entire party must be present before you’re seated, so be punctual! ⏰ 📄 Important: Bring a physical ID if you plan to order drinks—they do not accept photos or digital copies. 🍽 What We Ordered Crab Cake 🦀 – Flaky, fresh, and perfectly seasoned Pigs in a Blanket 🌭 – A cozy classic, elevated The Polo Bar Burger 🍔 – Juicy, flavorful, served with irresistible fries Beef Sandwich 🥪 – Rich and satisfying Chicken Paillard 🥗 – Tender chicken over fresh greens (no carbs, for those preferring a lighter option) Frozen Yogurt & Fresh Berries 🍓 – Sweet, tangy, and refreshing Coffee Ice Cream ☕ – Rich coffee flavor, yet surprisingly didn’t keep me up! 🏇 Ambiance & Details The interior is elegant and masculine, filled with equestrian art and polo-themed decor—even the drink stirrers are mini polo sticks! 🎁 The silver bucket they serve ketchup in? Adorable. A polished, memorable, and truly New York experience—even late on a Monday night. #ThePoloBar #RalphLaurenNYC #NYCDining #UpscaleEats #NYCRestaurants #NYCFoodie
