We are proud to offer one of Gramercy Park’s only private party rooms! Pete’s Tavern is the oldest continuously operating restaurant & bar in New York City.
As befitting an official New York historic landmark, we stay true to our traditions. Pete’s Tavern continues to feature a menu packed with New York’s favorite dishes. Our famous 1864 House Ale is served today much like 120 years ago, when O. Henry was a loyal regular at Pete’s. Experience the traditions that have made Pete’s Tavern a local and National treasure for over 155 years by having your next office or private party/meeting in our Speakeasy Private Room. The banquet room is available at no extra charge and we offer several menu plans (including sit down “Family Style” lunches & dinners, buffets and various passed hors d’oeuvres) for your consideration. Pete’s Tavern offers its expert staff of event planners with a combined 70 years of experience. If you have any questions or specific requests please contact us. We will do our best to accommodate your specific needs.
