hello@lilliecoits.comStill the Washbag
This was the Washington Square Bar & Grill — the Washbag — on and off from 1973 to 2010. Same building, a great deal of new plaster. The whole story.
First come, no holding. The best seats in the house no matter who you are, and the engine of it.
What surrounds the room.
Each one has a name and a history worth learning. The Willie Brown, the Momo, and the confessionals by the Saints Peter and Paul doors.
Where the shucking happens, and where the Oyster Leaderboard is kept. It resets every Oyster Day, so the board is open again. The Jubilee starts here at ten.
Upstairs, with no bar of its own. It can be booked for private events.
Good to know
Late dining
Order by 1 a.m. and you eat properly before we close at two. House record for a tomahawk after one: fifteen minutes.
One night off
Thanksgiving.
Dress
Whatever you were already wearing. Kitchen whites and black aprons are especially welcome.
Corkage
$25 a 750 ml bottle, two bottles a table at most, for a wine that isn’t on our list.
Industry
If you work in a restaurant, say so at the bar — and let us know where.
