Overview

The appeal of this basement level hotel bar is its anonymity. You could live in the neighborhood for years and never know it was there.

History

Easy to miss, and harder still mid-renovation

Back then we said the appeal of this basement hotel bar was its anonymity: you could live in the neighborhood for years and never know it was there. Neighbors found it anyway, by the hotel's account: at its 20th anniversary it called North Square a dining favorite for neighborhood residents and hotel guests alike¹. The Washington Square Hotel, an icon of hospitality since 1902 by its own description, still stands at 103 Waverly Place². North Square itself is closed for renovation, and the hotel says it looks forward to serving you in the future, so for now the anonymity is total^{2, 3}.
